Who needs doctors when all one needs to do is a quick trip to the produce isle.

These are all healthy foods but pain killers they are not. Cauliflower once gave me the worst heartburn I ever had in my life. I can't imagine how much celery one would have to eat to relieve a headache - it would do a number on one's digestive tract in the process. Tumeric is known to be rich in phytonutrients, and like chia seeds, is considered a superfood, and berries and citrus fruits are obviously beneficial to our health. But being beneficial to health is one thing, and being a pain killer is entirely another. Lets appreciate good food for what it can do for us, and not make claims for what it cannot.

Obviously, we know you can't post a link, but .... how about a source?

This could have come from anywhere.

Be careful with grapefruit. It binds with an enzyme in the small intestine and that enzyme is what helps certain medications.

It's well known, and has been since ancient times, that food can provide relief for all kinds of things.

I eat certain foods every day to help alleviate my arthritis. I still ache but it's nothing like it was before I added certain foods to my diet. I don't have trouble walking my dog anymore. My hands are somewhat better too.

I was having trouble with my memory and assumed it was the due to the stress and grief of losing 5 family members and 3 friends within 14 months. My dr referred me to a memory specialist just to be sure.

Amyloid is a chemical in the brain that causes Alzheimer's. We all have some and the amount can vary from day to day. But too much is very bad.

My test results were high but not quite to a diagnosis level. The memory doctor gave me a list of foods to eat and other actions to take that help reduce amyloid.

I've been doing what the memory doctor said and can tell a difference myself.

I go back tomorrow for another memory test and I'm pretty confident it'll be better than last August.

Read my other post.

Like I said before, it's been known since anciet times that certain foods help with certain conditions. People in the U.S. have shorter life spans than other countries, especially those whose diets are better and those who use food to help with conditions.

@northiie57 Thank you!

Here's another: peppermint oil for headache. Stops my migraines in their tracks! But this is applied topically.

Some foods can help with some types of discomfort/symptoms. When I went through chemo my oncologist suggested I drink green Matcha tea and use Turmeric in my daily diet. Both were to help alleviate inflammation.

there are some natural things that work well for me--peppermint tea is good for a sour stomach and I have a herbal tea mix I drink that soothes my aching guts during a bout of diverticulitis---ginger and pineapple and papaya are good for stomach stuff. Honey and lemon in hot water--with a shot of bourbonis good---for whatever ails you-- tonic water for restless legs---cranberries for kidney issues----

@LindaSal Could you tell me how much Tumeric you use daily?

I will assume you use a powdered formula (like in a spice jar) ...that is the only way I have seen it in the grocery store. ...you just sprinkle on the food?

Re: Natural Painkillers

LindaSal — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 15:56:10 GMT

@Mom2Dogs I use it mostly on my roasted veggies and surprisingly I really like how it tastes that way. Generally I'd say about a teaspoon or two depending on the volume of the food. I find it can be a bit strong with some foods, I even tried a teaspoon in my coffee and while I am not a big fan I do still do it at times. I buy organic Turmeric.

@LindaSal Thank you...I have an issue with a shoulder and my husband has chronic hip pain/arthritis. His doctor said he needs to wait 2 months for another shot...maybe the tumeric will help.

Sorry but when I get a migraine I want my prescription drugs. No flowery, green or yellow food is going to ease that firestorm in my head.

Never heard of gut health? Microbiome? Hmm... plenty of sources out there. Start reading and see what you think. You might have to be a little open minded. I had a doctor tell me if a "food" has an ingredient list then it's not real food.

The food industry doesn't care about your health and the medical industry doesn't care about nutrition. Know your options and make the best informed decisions you can.

Some people I know add turmeric to their morning coffee. I don't like coffee so I have no clue how that would taste. I just want to throw that out there as an option.

@Forbidden Fruit

Oh, my! Turmeric in coffee just sounds horrible! I just put a little turmeric in a teaspoon, add a little olive oil, then swallow it down with a drink of water. Works for me!😊😊
