Top 4 Herbs to Reduce Inflammation Instead of NSAIDs -- Dr. Jockers. Long article, good information

[MBAnderson]

"Taking NSAIDs (ibuprofen) is commonly suggested by healthcare professionals and regularly used by those who suffer from chronic inflammation and pain. The problem is that the long-term use of NSAID’s can result in stomach ulcers, kidney and liver toxicity, and leaky gut syndrome."

"NSAIDs are responsible for 100,000 hospitalizations each year and 16,000 deaths."

"Eating an inflammatory diet and too much sugar can lead to blood sugar imbalances that cause inflammation and the overproduction of inflammatory cytokines. Inflammatory cytokines can lead to increased insulin resistance and elevated blood sugar that only feeds the cycle of continuous inflammation and blood sugar problems. Furthermore, chronically elevated blood sugar levels result in advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that consequently increase inflammation and and produce risk of oxidative stress (7, 8). "

zero. I view all supplements as a risk versus reward equation -- what do I have to lose, what do I stand to gain. It makes the answer pretty simple.
