It absolutely amazes me how many kids go up into the stands, find their parents, and get some type of painkiller before a game.
And if their parent doesn’t have one, the parent next to them does.
With 3 kids who play multiple sports I have been to a lot of games over the years.
Basketball, football, baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer….
And invariably I see a kid go to the sideline or up into the stands to get a painkiller.
At first when I witnessed this I didn’t think much of it, since sometimes people have pain, yet they can still play the game.
But when I started to see it over and over again I realized there was a problem.
This wasn’t just to get through 1 game.
This was something that was repeatedly happening.
Even though my kids have never really taken a painkiller, I’m not against them for certain situations.
But I want you to understand that chronic use of them is a very bad idea.
A 2006 study in The Journal of the American Medical Association found that normal use of Tylenol may trigger liver failure.
The study wasn’t talking about abuse of Tylenol at higher doses.
It was talking about taking it as the label prescribes.
The first thing we need to do is figure out where the pain is coming from. Applied Kinesiology shines in this area more than anything I’ve ever seen.
By looking at the total person at one time we can put the pieces together.
The Structural, Chemical and Electromagnetic parts of the human.
But in the meantime, as we are solving the real problem, we use the Natural NSAID Pak with tremendous success.
It has all the right nutrients to ease pain, control inflammation, and also to speed the healing process (painkillers slow the healing process).
My kids always have these packets in their sports bags in case they need them.
This is definitely one of the “medicine cabinet” products.
We even have many people who take the Natural NSAID Pak as their daily “multi”. With so many people having chronic joint pain it can be a real game changer.
