    I've visited India and Thailand for extended periods. I enjoyed the food in both countries and I found that my arthritis pain was decreased. When I return to the US the affect stayed with me for a few weeks and then the arthritis pain returned. Both countries use a lot of turmeric, pepper (blank and white), and very hot peppers (capsaicin).

      When I was in India, the ladies I worked with say that whenever they finish a bottle of turmeric or curry powder, they put a little water in the bottle, swish it around and drink it. I take a couple of capsules a day, but with the other meds I'm on, I probably need to reconsider that.

      At 82, I had four G.I. Bleeds with hospitalization and blood transfusions. I had always taken one aspirin a day. The G I. Doctor said NO MORE ASPIRIN. Now at 85, I have had no more G.I. Bleeds since the aspirin was stopped. However, after stopping the aspirin, I began having arthritis. I had NO arthritis while I was taking aspirin up to age 82. The only pain reliever I can now use is Tylenol. NSAIDS contain aspirin. Check your pain meds before taking them.

      He talked about how many tablets to take - not how many milligrams to take. The number of milligrams per tablet varies a lot around the world - in some countries his advice about ibuprofen, for example, could be fatal, because the tablets you get can be such a higher dose. So no, he was NOT on point.

    This video is so valuable. I'm dealing with shoulder impingement and your videos have helped with that, but my son is also staring down a wisdom tooth pull and knowing about the acetomenophen. I know that aspirin is a no-no for wisdom teeth extraction due to the potential of drying out sockets, so it's really good to know about the acetomenphen dosage.

    Please talk also about ginger into the next edition of the video. I have occipital neuralgia which often wakes me up in the middle of the night with pain. I am on Norco (from my pain doctor) but the Norco sometimes gives me nausea. One night I was in a lot of pain and decided I would consume some ginger before the Norco to prevent the nausea. Ate about an inch-long piece of the fresh root. About half an hour later I realized the pain was decreasing. An hour later it was mostly gone. Never did end up taking the Norco that night. I've used the ginger, sometimes adding turmeric extract, for these night neuralgia attacks ever since, and it has cut down quite a bit on my use of Norco.

      I think you missed something. Turmeric carries bleeding risk like the other NSAIDs, because it is an NSAID. Don't forget that Aspirin was derived from the extraction of willowbark. Herbal anti-inflammatory is not a valid category. There are only active compounds and inactive compounds. In the turmeric in there is an active compound that acts a certain way because of its nature.

    I've found that sometimes one of those will work very well on a certain type of pain and another will not do anything whatsoever. An example I can give was I was having very severe pain with an inflamed Achilles tendon and could barely walk. Tylenol extra strength did absolutely nothing to relieve it and I mean it was as if I hadn't taken anything at all. I bought Ibuprofen and the results were amazing. There was a great reduction in pain and the tendon went back to normal between a week or two. Other times it seems aspirin was just the ticket. At other times Tylenol seemed to work much better. I've only tried Aleve once and got no benefit from it at all.

    • @karinberryman2009

      Yep! Panadol is good for bringing down temperatures and inducing sleep but no good for real pain.

Osteo Tylenol is a joke (there’s zero difference).

(81 mg aspirin) It prevents the platelets from aggregating in the blocked coronary arteries, and can keep someone having a heart attack alive long enough to get them to the hospital. If it's one adult size aspirin, (375 mg) they can still chew it for the best and fastest way to get into the blood stream. It won't taste very good, but I'm pretty sure being dead tastes worse.
