And we still use the basic molecule to create what we call non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs.
And ibuprofen is one of the most widely used of those.
And basically they cut the inflammatory process, just cut it.
And so the inflammation just diminishes.
Well, if it gets rid of the pain, it is.
But there's always a follow-up question.
Why was that inflammation necessary?
Because inflammation is a defence.
It's one of my most powerful defences we have in the body.
And whenever someone is saying, I need ibuprofen, my next question is, what can we do to reduce the need for the inflammation?
So when I was talking about the arthritis, I was saying this junk, shall we say, being dumped on the joint, can we help to relieve that?
Can we go upstream and reduce some of the metabolic strain?
People eat sometimes the wrong food and sometimes it increases arthritis.
You can improve your arthritis by switching to more plants very often.
But there are other things that we can give that seem to help reduce some of those pressures.
But the pain might be somewhere else.
It might be linked to a full-blown disease.
In that case, using anti-inflammatories is the only thing you can do.
But if there is a way in which we can help reduce the need for that inflammation in the first place, I would much prefer to do that than just suppress a natural defence.
We do, and I think we're wrong.
