Back pain, joint pain, knee pain, arthritis and a host of other symptoms

"The smallest pain in our little finger gives us more concern than the
destruction of millions of our fellow beings." William Hazlitt [1778-1830.
British Essayist]
If "The smallest pain in our little finger gives us more concern..." then what
happens when we have back, knee or joint pain?

| Once the impulse starts, it triggers a number of bio-chemicals to be released at
the site of the injury. Some of these bio-chemicals are histamine, bradykinin,
prostaglandin, and Substance P. Each of these has one or more effects on the
body. And many of these bio-chemicals are inflammatory -- that is they cause the
injury site to swell up. Inflammation is actually a defense mechanism for the body. Inflammation serves
to bathe the injury in healing fluids and acts as a cushion to protect against
further injury. However. if the inflammation is prolonged or out of control, it
can cause destruction. This is what occurs in arthritis where the inflammation
actually destroys the joints. Also, inflammation can serve to compound problems
by actually causing pain itself.
This explains how an injury causes the body to release a number of biochemicals
that can cause inflammation. Another action of these biochemicals, though, is to
stimulate the nerve fibers of pain, the C fibers. (The body actually has three
types of nerve fibers: A fibers. B fibers and C fibers. The main fibers which
transmit the pain impulse are the C fibers.) Histamine, bradykinin,
prostaglandins and the other bio-chemicals are actually the stimuli that cause
the pain impulse to begin.
Types of Pain Relief
At the site of an injury, whether the problem is pain or inflammation, the pain
impulse can be interrupted by:
"Decreasing the levels of the "pain" bio-chemicals or
"by blocking the nerves of pain - the C fibers.
With that in mind, it would make sense to use a painkiller that can do both of
these. Aspirin and NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as
ibuprofen and Motrin decrease the prostaglandins. This can result in decreased
pain and inflammation, especially if the prostaglandins are the main causes.
However, aspirin and NSAIDS do not directly affect the other pain chemicals and
do not affect the pain nerve, the C fiber.
Narcotics, such as Darvon or codeine, have no known effect on either the "pain"
bio-chemicals or the pain nerves. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) also has no
significant effect on these at usual doses. And in fact, the way acetaminophen
works is not actually known.
But we also know we can interrupt the pain impulse away from the injury site, at
the spinal cord. If our pain killer could also decrease the release of (or
deplete the C fiber of) Substance P, the pain impulse would be blocked at the
spinal cord level. Aspirin and NSAIDS have no known effect at this site.
Narcotics and tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptylene or Elavil, on the
other hand, actually can block the release of Substance P and stop transmission
at the spinal cord level, but once again have no value in decreasing the levels
of the bio-chemicals of pain.
This new totally natural remedy does it all by providing the relief you need
without using drugs and other traditional methods of pain relief:
- Decreases the levels of the "pain" bio-chemicals.
- Blocks the release of Substance P, thus slowing down the transmission of the
pain impulse along the nerves of pain, the C fibers.
- And slows down transmission of pain along the spinal cord.
