Re: Re: question for Rodney - anti-inflammatorys

Hi Ken,

Since you mentioned antiinflammatory, what do you know about them? EG, I have a sore shoulder, if I ate a hundred or so "anti-inflammatorys" (not being a wiseacre) could I expect one of them to relieve it, or are we talking something internal that happens but we don't feel it? (ps, I know I spelled it wrong but the search will be easier.)

There's probably a thousand such in Duke's database.

Regards
