Pain killers - The Downside

While updating my post on Africa, I included some info on pain killers. This is important enough that I thought I'd make a separate post.

Did you know that OTC or prescription pain killers can slow down or prevent healing? Particularly broken bones and cartilage! If you want to search for yourself, just search on "pain killers delay healing". Or here are a few I've already found:



Aetna

USGyms (Scroll down to - 'A Further Word of Caution')

Vaughn's 1-pagers; an interesting comparison chart. But of course, no natrual stuff.

I use Noni juice (tastes terrible though, so that means most people won't use it).

17-page summary of Noni (not for the casual reader).

Sales pitch on Noni from UK, but good references and other info.
