Scientists have discovered a new class of anti-inflammatory drugs. The new substances promise to be more effective and to cause fewer side effects than aspirin.
Naturally, any NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) should be used as part of a comprehensive pain or symptom management program in conjunction with an MD, NP (Nurse Practitioner), or PA (Physician’s Assistant). NSAIDs include over the counter medications like aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin), and naprosyn (Aleve). There is also a growing body of evidence linking inflammation with numerous degenerative diseases, so we are likely to see a lot more research into treatments for inflammation. Conscious Choice actually declares that inflammation is the cause of degenerative diseases.
The reason these new drugs and this area of research is so compelling is that should inflammation be determined to cause aging or degeneration, the treatments and prevention arising from this research would likely result in a deeper understanding of human illness and its origins, resulting in a vastly improved lifespan. So, this is a radical area of discovery that we would all do well to track.
