Hi Caroline,

I am sorry you deal with chronic pain.

Have you ever looked into proteolytic enzymes as a substitute for OTC NSAIDs?

The most recently announced studies on NSAIDs and their relationship to increased risk of heart attack and stroke are frightening. It's worse than was thought.

I used to take proteolytic enzymes. I had even convinced our vet to use them with dogs in her practice. I have many painful conditions. Just one is very painful Psoriatic Arthritis. The pain is so extreme, my Rheumatologist wants to try methotrexate. I have been working hard, for years, to never have to take that drug or any "biologics." I think I am going back to proteolytic enzymes again, and soon!

Of course, supplements are also often expensive, as you know.

Many people I know are having good luck with EFT.

Tonight, I was reading up in an "H-Wave" machine, mentioned by Diandra in a different thread. Any chance Medicare would help to pay for an H-Wave machine? The site offers a 30 day money back trial. (H-wave.com)
I am asking my doctor about this machine tomorrow.

To Our Healing,
DejaVu
