Non steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs & breast cancer

[Guest guest]

Dear members

 

The tide seems to be turning! The researchers are now researching

dangerous side effects of modern drugs rather than new drugs!

 

Most of us have used some form of pain killer whenever there was some

form of pain, from headache to menstrual or joint pain!

 

But here is a warning for Aspirin, widely used as basic drug anti-

coagulants for people with cardiac problems to drugs containing

ibupropen, most widely used as analgesic and anti-inflamatory basic drug.

 

While pain killers and their influence on the acidity of digestive

system is well known, their connection to breast cancer is published

just yesterday, in the National Cancer Institute Journal.

 

This subject, though does not come in the scope of ayurveda,

but the findings increase stress on ayurveda and natural

herbal approaches in fast changing global village. Please read on:

an article on link between male hormones in women and their

possible connection to breast cancer is published in the

same journal on May 18 this year.

 

Members requested to treat this as topic of month and post

views on pain killer herbs from ayurveda, which are much less harmful.

Dr. Bhate:

This is not good news for those of us with arthritis. I take both

drugs and wake up in the middle of the night with pain frequently and

take more ibuprofen and a warm bath or put ice packs on whatever hurts

the most to get back to sleep (ice seems to help most). It is easy to

tell a person to exercise, but if that person can barely move for the

pain, then that is very hard to do. Something that attacks the root of

the arthritis instead of the symptoms only would seem to be in order.

It often seems that these drugs all cause as many problems as they

help: my doctor just put me on prevacid to help with the reflux the

ibuprofen causes. I think with polypharmacy comes more complications,

but have noticed that many of the ayurveda drugs seem to be compounds

and the ones I have taken have not done any damage like the ibuprofen

and seem to work at least as well. I feel I am making a deal with the

devil anymore when I take anything.
