Yes it does and "unofficially" by many Dr's to their patient's when all else has failed. Much more kinder to all systems, organs and especially the liver than many Rx's meds for pain etc.... Pain, muscle relaxants and depression meds and combo of these perscribed meds do not releive all the pain cause side effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
