Want to Know One Reason We Hurt?
(Use right hand slide to hide this caveman: He can be a pain!)

Inflammation is the body's response to irritation, infection, allergy or injury. It begins at the level of the cell when, in response to an injury or irritation, white blood cells in the bloodstream begin to stick to the cell's lining the blood vessel wall. The end result of this process is inflammation and pain.

The following links are based on a web search and some recommendations from health practitioners and doctors. There are many conditions mentioned, and they are a place to start some research of your own. You may be surprised at how the root causes, of what express themselves as diverse health problems, are the same. You may also be surprised at how the body handles these diverse problems, without hurting itself in the process. Help without the side effects may be a better way to go!

Here are some links to several approaches to pain relief that focus on nutritional support for improved body functioning related to root causes. Look into these if you need an alternative to prescription pain killers: It appears we have choices!

These links are starting places to begin your research: You are ultimately responsible for finding a natural health plan that will address your symptoms and their root causes. But it appears that many are doing just that, and without the side-effects and dangers that often accompany traditional long-term drug uses. The body is amazing, and we need to remember not to give all of our power away to those who are only allowed to suggest pharmaceuticals or surgeries. We have been distracted and hypnotized to trust an industry fraught with bottom-line goals and the accompanying rush to prescribe! We have been basically separated from the very plants and natural substances that used to be available to us! We are not given the information in schools, our parents often do not know this information, and it is rare to find it easily. Do your research, trust your body, at least as much as you would trust another person with it, and engage those who have done the hard work of developing, and using, products that can help without doing harm. And remember to consider the help of a natural health practitioner: Just like anything else, some are better than others, and some should be doing something else. Peace. :O)
