Americans take an inordinate amount of medication to reduce pain and inflammation, most notably acetaminophen, aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs  (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen. It is estimated that each year, Americans purchase billions of over-the-counter (OTC) anti-inflammatory drugs.
 
By inhibiting the enzymes that normally convert dietary fatty acids into inflammation-producing chemicals that can cause pain (NSAIDs achieve their anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting cyclooxygenase activity, which inhibits prostaglandin synthesis)This process will indeed help minimize discomfort felt from inflammation but it also interupts the repair and remodeling phases of both bone and soft tissue healing.

Painful Diet Choices
Our dietary choices directly contribute to inflammation and pain.The modern diet consists largely of nutrient free calories withapproximately 20 percent coming from refined sugar, 20 percent from refined flour and 20 percent from refined oils derived from corn, safflower seeds, sunflower seeds, cottonseeds, peanuts and soy. Another 10 percent to 20 percent from overweight or obese animals. That means for too many Americans, 80 percent of the calories they consume promote inflammation and thus pain, and lack any appreciable nutritional quality.
