Guest guest Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Does anyone have a replacement for Ibuprofen. I'm using it for infamation reduction and I don't want to anymore. Everytime I visit my doctor, it's take more Ibuprofen. I've already learned to live with some pain, but I'd like there to be another answer. elinor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hi Elinor, What are you taking Ibuprofen for? Extended use of Ibuprofen is not good for you. It is very harsh on the stomach lining. I would rather suggest looking for a cure for the source of the pain rather than simply masking it with Ibuprofen. This coming from someone who has had 2 back surgeries, and continued chronic back pain. I could live on the stuff, But I found just bought me time and until the next morning. The key is to find your source of pain and deal with it directly. You can't take Ibuprofen for the rest of your life. Best of luck to you, Michael sensatia.com --- Amanda <elinor0779 wrote: > Does anyone have a replacement for Ibuprofen.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Omega 3 fats help control inflammation. Take some fish oil capsules or eat some canned salmon every day. If you take the fish oil caps, I would try for at least 3 or 4 grams a day. A recent study showed that a good percentage of patients with back pain that involved nerve damage were able to quit all pain medication after taking omega 3 supplements. Our diet today is not balanced as far as fat sources like it has been in the past so that we don't get enough omega 3 fatty acids. We need to supplement. Too much omega 6 fatty acids, like we get in the vegetable oils that are so much a part of our modern diet, will actually feed the inflammation process. Cattle fed only grass will have plenty of omega 3 fats in relation to omega 6 fats - but we put them in pens now & feed them on grain to fatten them & that drastically reduces the omega 3 fats while it increased omega 6 fats. Little wonder that we have so many diseases now that are caused/worsened by inflammation, even including heart disease. Another thing you might try for pain/inflammation is noni juice. I haven't tried it myself but have heard many many reports on how it helps with pain & since it has a lot of bromelain in it, it works to control inflammation. Worth a try. Dietary sugar feeds inflammation too so you might try cutting back or elimenating that from your diet. Jean , " Amanda " <elinor0779 wrote: > > Does anyone have a replacement for Ibuprofen.
