I heard some of this stuff from a chiro who worked with me after I'd stopped taking NSAIDs (for me it was due to allergic reactions--hives, wheezing, stuff like that). I do add ginger to my stir fry and follow (imperfectly) anti-inflammatory diet guidelines: nutrition-in-motion.net/anti-inflammatory dietary guidelines chart.pdf Again, definitely not strict follower of this, but trying to add as many anti-inflammatory foods as I can. I do enjoy cheese and other dairy products (no-no's), but I enjoy wild-caught fish, fresh veggies/fruit. I eat a candy bar when I need some quick energy, but notice I eat them less lately.

Good for you. Some types of these products also cause sterility in men, not sure about women. Its important to read the warning labels on all types of medicine.

Craig, would it be possible for you to post that abstract (or a link to it)? Anna Lea www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.../15922118

The inflammation causing enzymes they turn off, also regulate other stuff we need for proper function. However when my back went out last week sulindac removed most of the pain, and despite the side effects, I would have otherwise been immobile and miserable the rest of the week.

What they are saying is that discontinuation of aspirin may pose risks. Typically we discourage this among our heart patients.

My P-T has discouraged my use of naproxen in dealing with some chronic tenodisis (sp?) in my left elbow. He says the latest literature trends toward allowing natural inflammation to promote healing rather than suppressing it via NSAIDS. Even the use of ice is being questioned for non-acute, chronic conditions. My elbow finally seems to be improving with 3 months rest and lots of P-T. Now if only I could say the same for my left shoulder!

I see aspirin mentioned. Do the authors suggest that low-dose aspirin regimens (81mg daily of "baby" aspirin) are a bad thing? I've been doing that for about 20 years, and don't routinely have headaches, even on days when I forget to take one. I'm going to guess the authors are referring to higher dosages, though that's not clear from the quoted text.
