Thank you Dr Berry, I had no idea and was taking ibuprofen for years for all sorts of pain, then I got cediff, in the hospital for a week, not one Dr while I was in the hospital said stop using it!! So I took it once I got home, got soo sick, researched cdiff & first thing it says DON'T take ibuprofen!!! The medical community has failed us miserably

You are spot on Dr. Berry! My dad was told by his dr to take Aleve naproxen for years for arthritis. He also had to take blood pressure meds. He developed a huge ulcer on his stomach that he didn't know about until it burst open an artery that apparently became attached also. He died from internal bleeding that night. I wish we had more doctors like you Dr. Berry. Thank you! 💚

As a nurse I had a young man in his 20s who was taking nsaids daily for over a year. He ended up on dialysis. Then I had a young woman who had gastric bypass surgery. She was taking NSAIDs and ended up dying from a bleeding ulcer. She said no one ever told her not to touch NSAIDs after gastric bypass.

When I ate a highly processed, high carb diet, my bones and tissue in my body was so inflammed that I took Ibuprofen daily. Keto saved my life. 🥺💞

A sports medicine specialist told me I could take double doses of daily celecoxib for arthritis knee pain, so I did. For 20 years. It caused massive calcification of my heart and exacerbated liver dysfunction. Since I quit eating carbs, my inflammation has faded away. I'm hoping it will help heal my heart as well.

I was a competitive lifter and I was constantly taking aspirin, ibuprofen and celebrex in large doses for years. Luckily no kidney damage but I take medication for hypertension which I have battled for years. I get my labs taken and I have near perfect values and no explanation as to why my blood pressure continues to be high. I did discover this information about nsaids some years ago but it is good to see an informative video on the subject. Thanks.

The choices are few and far between when you are suffering.

Thank you Dr Berry for your transparency. I am a 42 wife and mother of 2. We educate them in our home. I experience the grieving symptoms of a rare neuromuscular disease. It is genetic with mutations on several gene strands. My doctor who me I’d seen since in HS put me on so many medications over the years, but at one point I was on 6 drugs, meloxicam being one of them plus I would pop 4 alieve daily. My doctor knew this. I experienced many of the symptoms you speak of. My vitamin D was a whopping 4. Fast forward I am in a new private office. We have real conversations and it has been so freeing to take back control of my health. I can’t change the weakness, spasming which is so intense at times I vomit. Then when a periodic paralysis episode triggers it becomes an entirely different thing. Began going off meds slowly. I did not need them and they were causing other conditions. Began Keto and I’m down 52 lbs from July 11th. Prior to that I had lost 36lbs so I have lost 88 lbs since 2018. Stick with it. I can’t change the past but I can make changes to better my health now. Thank you Dr Berry for sharing the truth.

My niece died of liver damage in 2019 she took NSAIDs like eating candy , she had migraines for yrs, also after undergoing a Breast Reduction she suffered from pain , she died before getting a new liver ,she weighed around 90 lbs when she died ! I hope people understand how serious taking over the counter pain medication can be, it can kill you!

I had a bad ankle and shin break when I was 12. I was put on a prescription anti inflammatory right after I got the casts off. I took NSAIDS for years having to get off of them twice to heal from multiple gastric ulcers. The last time I was prescribed NSAIDS I ended up developing heart failure. I will never take them again.

I am 70 with arthritis and it has gotten worse with age! I take turmeric, boswellia, and bromelain almost daily and it helps but on a bad day I have to take a NSAID and and when I do it takes the pain away for up to two days. I wish there was something better health wise than NSAIDS!

In 1995 I was put on 1800 mg per day of Ibuprofen for fibromyalgia pain. That lasted about a year. Then I started experiencing what seemed to be worsening fibro symptoms. In addition I was becoming unable to eat my usual amount of food. I almost chose to not go to the doctor about it thinking it was just the fibro. He sent me for some tests including a liver assessment. I got a call from him later that evening asking me to stop taking all my medications and go for another liver assessment. The initial test result was 700 the second was nearly that high. I was sent to a hospital in Philadelphia and their diagnosis was chemical hepatitis. I distinctly remember him saying that I came within a half an inch of losing my liver. I was put on a 6 week wash out. No meds at all. Wow! That was tough. But I was lucky.

The veterans administration was passing out anti-inflammatories to me by the truckload. They even had me on steroidal anti-inflammatories that's when I said enough. I didn't need a doctor to tell me it was going to kill me, I came to that conclusion on my own. I still live with relentless pain and will take Advil no more than four pills in 48 hours. Once in awhile I just need to take the edge off. Thank you for your information backing up what I've known for a long time.

Hi Dr. Berry! Until 5 days ago, I was a proud pill free person. Only if the pain was excruciating and interfered with my ability to function would I take an Advil. (About 3 - 5 pills every 20 years.) 8 years ago I took an interest in food and boycott foods with paragraphs of unpronounceable ingredients. 4 years ago I started a meat based, grain free, low carb, high fat diet and lost 60 lbs. No more arthritic pain, diabetic procedures, sleep apnea, warts, chronic stomach cramps, brain fog and the list of health benefits goes on. I felt as if I found the fountain of youth. 5 Days ago I was in unbearable pain from elbow to elbow, through my triceps, across my chest, collar to diaphragm. I couldn’t find a comfortable position or massage it out. So, I took an Advil to no avail. “Call 911.” On the operating table I was informed that I was having a heart attack. Before an hour from the 911 call, there were two heart stents installed in one of my pulmonary arteries. Now, I have a pharmacy of unpronounceable medicine that I’m to take every day: ASA, Bisoprolol Fumarate, Pantoprazple Sod EC, Ticagrelor, Perindopril Erbumine, and Atrovastatin. And I come across this presentation of how daily ASA is not wise. I just want to cry. I’m a long time subscriber of your channel and hope to be a long time subscriber for years to come. I respect what you say, but where do I go from here? How can I become a proud survivor? I’m only 69.

I took ibuprofen for years like candy. I was in a lot of pain I have psoriatic arthritis but with no diagnosis my doctors kept telling me I just had osteo and continue to take ibuprofens. Eventually my luck ran out with these pills I started hemorrhaging and had five pints of blood/blood transfusion due to five bleeding ulcers from taking NSAIDs for years. After my surgery of cauterizing all the ulcers to stop the bleeding he told me no more NSAIDs Ever again. He said my only friend is Tylenol arthritis and take no more than recommended. One year later I received my diagnosis for psoriatic arthritis. Now I am on a biologic and rarely take Tylenol and have never touched ibuprofen again.

Such an important video! Everyone should see this. Thank you, Dr. Berry, for being someone we can trust to tell the truth.

I saw this report. Ugh!!! I suspected that, as they are prostaglandin inhibitors - all of them, including the good ones, but I took them daily for years! I now have 2 new hips and a knee. Thanks to you, I've been carnivore for 2 months now, and I feel so much better! The first thing I noticed was a calm that settled over me. Then pain went away. I've only taken NSAID twice in that time (airport walking days). And, I've lost 13 lbs thus far. Thank you for your good work!

I was just diagnosed with severe enemia for the third time in 5 years. I take ibuprofen daily for my R.A. it was never mentioned to me that ibuprofen could be causing enemia. 🤦‍♀️ I think I shall attempt to get this stuff out of me. Thanks! ❤️

My grandma raised 9 kids on her own with several jobs, she took OTC pain pills nearly every day of her adult life. Even on a decent diet her kidneys failed and she had to have dialysis for over a decade before she passed. The only time I took ibuprofen was when my tooth was rotting out of my jaw until I could get a root canal, I don't bother with anything anymore. Sleep is the best pain med!

Can you please do a video on arthritis and how and what to eat to slow down progression and lower pain and swelling??

I took naproxen daily for years while working floor nursing in LTC. Had a near textbook bowel perforation. Followed by surgery and a five day vacation in ICU. My primary missed the cause. It was the gastro who figured it out by asking me questions. It has a BLACK BOX warning and we give it out like candy. Very scary.

My husband took the max dosage + of Naproxen every single day for 30 years. He would not hear anything against it. "It is an OTC drug so it has to be perfectly safe." He had many chronic medical issues with his liver, kidneys, heart and lungs. Even if, by some miracle, the Naproxin didn't cause those issues, it didn't help them.

Boy, pharmacy school didn't focus on the anemia side effects!!! Thanks for every single video?❤

Sorry, but my choice is taking my every other day NSAID or being non-functional from pain. I AM healing from going carnivore and look forward to stopping it when the pain is more tolerable. I did stop it for a few months, but had to start again because my fibromyalgia ramped up to non-functional levels again. I'm also going to push back a little on allowing severe inflammation to continue. I've seen the damage that causes, too. Mitigating the inflammation so that the body can use it for healing is a better approach, especially if you can do that through more natural means.

This rings true with me… After decades of taking multiple antibiotics and ibuprofen to relieve incredible sinus pain and migraine pain, I now have stage three kidney disease. I am following Dr. fangs suggestions for trying to rescue my kidneys using IF and low carbs… We’ll see where it goes.

I took Advil every six hours day/night for several years because of chronic pain in my joints. I started intermittent fasting three years ago and my pain stopped within a couple of weeks. I can’t remember the last time I took anything for pain. Side note. That was completed with intermittent fasting ONLY! I have only recently started Keto. Imagine the healing that can take with fasting AND the proper human diet!🤯

Good to hear a doctor that does not push pills and meds, folks lived in good health throughout all of history without any of that stuff. Now we got people living on 30 different supplements a day.

Healing Cascade. So important and most folks have no idea (not their fault). We learned about this when I was studying massage therapy. NSAIDs also are not good for the pain/spasm cycle. Treat the issue not the symptom. I used to get regular unexplained headaches that I would suffer through without taking anything unless they got to the point where I had to go lay down in a dark room and sleep for a day. However, since I started Keto about 2.5 years ago, and now leaning even more Keto-vore this last year, those headaches are just about a thing of the past. Now if I get a headache it is due to an overuse issue most likely (shoulder/neck). Thanks for the solid info Dr Berry.

I just recently had an orthopedic surgeon say not to take an anti inflammatory because the injury wouldn’t heal. Now I know why, thanks.

3 years ago, I was T-boned at 180kmph in my driver's side by a guy evading police. 22 fractures &other injuries. I'm 50, been on carni 5.5 months. Boy oh boy what a learning curve to say the least!

Great timing doc, I hadn’t taken anything in the past year until last week. Slept wrong and my upper shoulder has been very painful. Can’t raise my arm. Started ibuprofen. Guessing I’ll not do so again today. 👍 Thanks Dr Berry!

Great video Dr. Berry. I had two bad kidney markers in a row and had to see a nephrologist but couldn't get in for 2 months. Stopped the NSAIDS and went Carnivore and by time I got in to see him markers were completely normal. He asked why I was there and then suggested a vegetarian diet. Haven't been back.

Thank you doctor Berry for this great video. I knew they were bad for you but having hip pain I’ve been taking them. Thanks for the reminder. I’m going to stop today. No more, before i cause more damage. I going to Get on my inversion table daily. I love you and your wife for how much you tell us all the truth and protect us from harm. Thank you so much. You are really saving lives. Your the best.

I’m 59 and have had joint pains because of gout and arthritis for more than 15 years. I stopped taking carbs and other foods that’ll increase my blood sugar. If I feel good, I fast between 36-72 hours. No more gout or arthritic attacks. No more inflammation. Of course damage is done. My joints still look a bit enlarged. Only six months into this new lifestyle. Hopefully see more improvement on the long run.

A few years back I injured my lower back and was in severe pain. The closest similar pain I've experienced was when I had a nerve in a tooth die. The pain was so bad I could only work for a couple of hours each day before I could hardly function. Of course, I was taking Ibuprofen and aspirin and taking a lot of them. Then I got a cold and took my usual dose of bedtime Nyquil. The end result was a nosebleed that wouldn't quit. It went on for four hours as a steady drip, drip, drip. Eventually, I just stretched out on the floor with a coffee cup under my nose while I read "The Ponder Heart' and dripped into the cup. It was nearly full before the nose bleed quit. After that I quit all of the pain relievers and when I had a headache I simply drank a cup of espresso and waited for it to go away. Oddly, the back pain which had been with me for months went away after 4 nights of sleeping on the floor with an electric heater blowing on my back and it hasn't been back. A friend of mine injured his back in much the same way and in the same area and he had surgery. It mostly fixed his back but he is still taking pain meds to "manage" it. Oh-I also finished the book about the time the nose bleed stopped.

Thank you for the great video. I used to take NSAIDs for my migraines. Sometimes I took two or three pills together, mostly ibuprofen. After years, I developed some sort of reactions that I thought is allergies. I stopped using all of these medications. But now that I watched this video and read some of the comments I suspected it is because of kidney damage. Gladly, I got my migraine under control by taking magnesium supplements and going on the keto diet. I wish I knew all of these about NSAIDs before ...

I was one of those people. was taking advil daily plantar fasciitis. went keto lost weight no more fasciitis pain.

Back in my 20’s my OBGYN gave me Motrin 800 like candy. It’s a miracle I didn’t get liver or kidney problems from the amount I took. Thanks for the video Dr. Berry. Blessings 💜🙏🏼

In 2020, I fell off a bicycle and landed on my left wrist. I remembered your video on R.I.C.E. and followed your advice. I only took an anti-inflammatory to help me sleep the first night and I did regular applications of heat or hot water baths. I have had no issues with the wrist since then.

I was recommended to take 800 mg of ibuprofen for 2 weeks for jaw pain by my dentist. It worked, but then I started using it for knee and shoulder pain Fairley often, which has now resulted in stage 3 chronic kidney disease. High blood pressure has probably affected my kidneys also. NSAIDs are not as benign as we've been led to believe.

I shudder to think about how much Ibuprofen I took years ago when I started having hip pain. Happy I did not have any problems after that and am pain free after 2 total hips and 2 torn rotator cuffs in 6 years. Also happy that I was able to get off stronger pain meds with no problems.

25 years pills free, thank you! Treating me with real food, exercises, love, essential oils, nature! Thank you!

Thanks for speaking on this DrBerry! I developed ulcers from taking Ibuprofen in my 30s. Thought I’d try again in my late 40s and now I have a sensitivity to it, it makes me cough uncontrollably. My husband was prescribed Naproxen daily for years along with a muscle relaxer and it made his kidney labs go completely out of whack and he had to stop taking both. My osteoarthritis is improving with ketovore, I think

Thank you Dr Berry. I was just heading to the store and was going to restock my ibuprofen. I don’t take regularly but just had knee surgery and because I won’t take pain meds, I was told to take anti inflammatory for swelling/ stiffness. I have a high pain tolerance so mild pain, therefore this reminded me to let the natural healing process to take over. Helpful 😊

I was told all of my 75 years to take Tylenol for any pain. Suddenly😂 I was diagnosed with liver disease!! So I started researching and Dr Barry and his teaching ( and Neisha) are helping me heal. It’s a hard thing for me to undo my carb addiction, but it’s making a difference!

Amazing Work Dr Ken Berry, glad there are some real doctors we can learn from, unlike most drug dealer doctors we see everywhere.

Back when I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in the 90s, ibuprofen was known as "Vitamin I". I knew back then that Ibuprofen was a dangerous drug to take because of the damage it does to the esophagus. I only take naproxen sodium or ibuprofen if I have the occasional rare headache. I don't take them for a sprain or other body ache. I possibly took it twice while on the AT. Then, recently, my best friend passed away from kidney failure. In talking with his brother, I found out he took large doses of ibuprofen to help him do his labor intensive job for several years. I wish I had known so I could have told him to stop. Thank you Dr. Berry for getting this message out. It will save lives. For those who watch this thinking he is joking, I lost my best friend of 42 years due to so called OTC safe pills, not illicit drugs.

Good job, Dr. explaining this. First-hand testimony these damaged my kidneys, and I was not taking as many much amounts but consistently for a few years.

My mother took a lot of ibuprofen and pain relievers. She passed away from kidney failure. My father took a lot of ibuprofen too. He also passed from kidney failure 5 years after my mother. I rarely take any pain relievers, only when I have a migraine headache or severe pain. I’ve told many to be careful when taking NSAIDS, ECT. Thank you Dr. Berry.

I took daily NSAIDS for many chronic pain issues for decades. I thought I had a cast iron stomach because nothing ever seemed to bother it. Then suddenly without prior symptoms... that I knew of. Not only was I anemic for years and had high blood pressure, but was never told there could be a connection. I also ended up with a sudden severe stomach bleed that almost killed me. The ER docs told me if I waited till morning to come in, I wouldn't have made it.

A dear friend had liver failure and damn near died. Daily Ibu user.

People EVERYTHING Dr. Berry said: gastrointestinal bleeding, which in turn caused a heart attack; blood pressure; anemia, which has actually been diagnosed as MDS; chronic pain daily; and much more occurred with my Dad. After I told him to stop popping 550mg Naproxen 2-3 times a day for years. Now still stuck with inappropriate chronic inflammation and pain, plus a defibrillator and platelets in the toilet. 😔 Thanks Dr. B for reiterating so many things I try to teach my patients, I'm always referring them to your videos! Say hi to Neisha and hug all them kids too

I took ibuprofen for years for migraine. A few years ago i developed a severe allergy to it and other nsaids including aspirin. My throat closes up and i get severely congested. Thought i was just chronically sick, but after stopping it a few years and tested it again recently, it was worse with just one 200 mg tablet. Have been carnivore since march of this year and have relieved my migraine issues.

So it would be helpful to have some suggestions on what can be taken for chronic pain.

My husband was prescribed Voltfast for a cough (I know, it’s ridiculous!) He was told to take it daily as needed, up to 3 times per day. It caused a peptic ulcer and inflammation in the large intestines. He saw a digestive specialist because of the pin thinking it was gall stones. It has taken weeks for him to become pain free. The digestive specialist was livid! Anti inflammatory medication is no joke. Be very cautious!

This diet Lowers Chronic Inflammation: bit.ly/Carnivore101

Hi Dr. Berry! From a channel that produces great content on a regular bases, this one was outstanding. I will be sharing the hell out of this one. Thanks!

Thank you! I take Ibuprofen a LOT!

Black seed oil turmeric with black pepper raw garlic two cloves fish oil iodine magnesium vitamin C vitamin d you're all good that's all you need

It would be great if you could get on the faculty at Vanderbilt University Medical School, or another prestigious university medical schools to train the next generation of providers. Your channel is great, thankful you here in Tennessee !

Since going on keto I couldn’t even tell you the last time I needed Tylenol or ibuprofen. Been at least 3.5 years

I take only when it's bad plain and take a kidney cleanser to help repair the damage afterwards. Same if I take medicine that damages my liver. The trouble is you can't feel the damage to these organs until it's too late.

I was in a bad car accident and have severe back damage (neck to tail bone!) My doctor has prescribed 800 mg of ibuprofen twice a day. Sometimes, when I have spasms, I need more (much more!) than that. I've recently moved to a more ketogenic diet and lowered my a1c from 7.5 to 5.9. However, I have been diagnosed with an inflamed gall bladder. They want to remove it. I am 73 years old. I love bacon, I love butter, but I've cut back substantially on those in order to prevent spasms due to gall bladder attacks and have moved to an almost exclusively carnnivore diet with some leafy greens. I would prefer not to have the surgery, but the pain is often so great that it might be a relief. Kidney levels, liver levels, even cholesterol levels all seem within normal range. I try to keep my fat grams below 60 and my daily carbs below 50 grams. Any ideas about 1) should I avoid gall bladder removal and how do I do that? and 2) could you recommend a list of supplements? We live in New Mexico, but if we lived in San Antonio, I would definitely try to become a patient! My PCP is very much aware of your videos and is very open to all your thoughts.

❤ Thank You Dr. Berry ❤ Grace, Peace, Prayers, Big Tight HugS, Much Love and Holy KisseS 😘😘

*Thank you ,Dr.Berry!:D I needed this video! As an Aspie, I had history of taking the wrong quality/quantity of certain pills, but now I m taking the right ones!* 💊 *Also, thank you for the true definition of inflammation, which is part of the healing cascade! :D Doctor Strange was right: Pain is an old friend.*

Was taking NSAIDS for pain, GFR went down to 32! Never took them since. Last checkup it went up to 43.

At one time I was taking 5 to 10 per day because I was hurting so bad. Ended up hurting my kidneys but I'm almost better now and don't take anything much anymore.

So what is the alternative for pain?! If we shouldn't take these things then what do we do?

My uncle was a doctor. As a teen I heard him say that all medicine is a poison to the body, so using the lowest dose that will work is important. I've had knee pain and taken 1 Alieve every 3-4 days. I have also had short term pain when I took 3 in 4 hours.

Brilliant commentary doc. I heard these could be hard on the body but yes, doctor recommended ... "safe and effective." Wow not so (like so much). No wonder my BP stayed high... I had a hip replacement and thought I was doing great getting off of Hydromorphine and taking Tylenol and Advil two to three times a day for over a year! 20 months later, I am still limping. Sigh ... stopping now.

I first started learning about this during the pandemic when I heard recommendations against taking any medication to immediately reduce a fever rather than let a low grade fever progress naturally to help your body fight infection.

Having had prostate surgery 10 years back, I find that two Advil daily allows me to get at least 3-4 hours uninterrupted sleep each night. The anti-inflammatory effect apparently allows my bladder to hold that much more before I'm awakened. The alternative is to go back for yet another surgical procedure that may or may not fix the problem, or cause other additional problems like retrograde ejaculation and worse.

I have had arthritis in the knees from age 5 to 47. That is when I found out I was gluten intolerant. While most symptoms disappeared in a few weeks, it was about 3 months before the arthritis completely healed. A trace and it is back with other symptoms for a week. Thankfully I have always had a bit of a Detroit of medications and only use them for the worse pains. I always have pain meds in the house. I but the smallest and have had them expire before ever being opened. I also had degenerative bone disease diagnosed at 42. Healed by 52 by a low carb, butter filled diet. But for years every step was painful, but I still avoided pain meds. I have been told I was crazy not to take the meds. Guess I was right.

My father had headaches daily in his 40s and 50s, but never went to the doctor. He drank aspirin daily, multiple times, and eventually had sporadic bleeding episodes. The blood transfusion would stop the bleeding, and he recovered. Doctors could not detect the ulcer area for two decades. A "gastro" surgeon removed some of the stomach when he was 72, after a bleeding episode. Seven years later, the doctor cut out most of his colon, after another bleeding episode. My Dad survived for one month.

I got kidney cancer. They said taking Motrin 800 mg 3 times a day for so many years contributed to it. Thank you Kaiser!!

For mild to moderate pain castor bean oil helps as a muscle relaxer/anti inflammatory. I used to take quite a bit of Advil for a number of years for fibromyalgia related pain. Haven't taken a pill in probably 15 years; I use castor bean oil combined with stretching and mild exercise. Soooo much better.

Another great video Dr Berry, I really needed this one right now

Thanks, great information my mom takes ibuprofen for her rheumatoid arthritis.

OMG this is sooo informative.... I have bad back pain... ( SI joint is bone on bone ) All my Dr said was to be careful with taking NSAIDS as they can be rebounding ( Not sure how to phrase it to others - except that if you over use NSAIDS or pain killers - the body creates more pain / in turn you take more meds... ) Hope I worded that correctly.... I also have Chronic Non alcoholic liver disease as well as Stage 3a Chronic Kidney disease with a EGFR of 49.... BUT no one ever said pain meds could be the culprit or at least make it worse.... THANK YOU for the info Dr. Berry...

Love this video. So true all of it thank you

WOW! I was taking an NSAID on the regular for ankle pain. I landed in the hospital in April of this year with a BP on 246/201. My iron level was extremely low and I has double vision in my left eye. I'm never taking any NSAID again.

Thank God for Dr. Berry. I would love to see him appear on TimCast and Joe Rogan.

Dr. Berry your video took me back to my mom telling me to "walk it off" whenever I got a boo boo. Funny thing is, I say the same thing to my daughter. Honestly, it works! Great information as usual. Be well.

Excellent health information, Dr Berry. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

Great a hernia opp on Monday and told to buy painkillers. Perhaps I should just tolerate what happens. Believe may heal better if I fast.

Thank you for your honesty and bravery.

I've been on daily celecoxib more than 20 years, and still taking ibuprofen every morning. Low carb got me off both of them.

Ok well this explains a lot!! So I’ve injured myself permanently from NSAIDS, what can I do about it? Or am I doomed to suffer? If anyone has a protocol for healing from the use of NSAIDS I’d love to hear it🙂

Damn...been on meloxicam for over a year now, got blood work done a few days ago...kidney numbers look terrible now...🤦🏾‍♂️

WOW! I wish somebody told me all of this sooner! My dr had prescribed me 500 mgs of Naproxen 2x a day for years. It wasn’t until last Fall that my bloodwork came back revealing I had “significant” kidney damage!😳 I was completely blindsided! I had no idea what caused the damage & I was kinda freaked out! I was given the results over the phone & was told to stop taking the Naproxen immediately. Of course I did & my bloodwork 2 months later showed my kidneys were almost completely healed! Also, the bloodwork I had done prior to the kidney damage debacle showed that I was anemic & now had to take an iron supplement!😒 Yeah, Naproxen…great stuff!🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank You Doctor. I became dependent on BC powders the past 10 years. Now I will stop. I wanted to stop many times but your video will create the effect to stop.

I've got an extreme headache and eye pain from covid right now...not too many options for reducing that inflammation

I had a patient that had to go on dialysis because of taking NSAIDS.

That’s all very well for acute inflammation but surely chronic inflammation is a very different story. I’ve had chronic joint or muscle pain occasionally and seen physiotherapists etc. and nothing worked but a seven day course of anti-inflammatories fixed it.

Watched it twice. Thank you.

So no more Ice on a sore ankle or lower back even within the first 24 hours of the injury (as we've been told so often in the past) @KenDBerryMD? And is this also covered in "Lies My Doctor Told Me"? I am going to order that for myself but also for some of my hard headed family members who need some serious help. And thank you so much for all you work Dr. Berry, going on 6 months carnivore, mostly BBB&E, and I look and feel like a new person at the young age of 55!

All you gotta do is cut out highly refined carbs and sugar and the pain will go away. I hurt all through my 30s and 40s and the culprit was little Debbie and sugar i don't hurt anymore in my late 50s and no nsaids period

I worked in a supermarket standing on concrete all day long. I popped NSAIDs daily just to make it through the day. I now have stage 2 chronic kidney disease. Please warn people. Thanks for posting this.

I'm a handyman. Been so for decades. A lot of physical work . My body hurts. Have to get multiple steroid injections in various places, hands elbows, back. Up until I started getting injections, I didn't take many meds. But every single time I complained about pain I felt like my Dr was treating me as a drug seeker and would tell me "take ibuprofen and Tylenol daily". So I have been and my pain issues have gotten worse. Now I know why. Thanks Doc! BTW, I'm 49, 6ft, 165lbs and in better physical shape than 99% of my peers (I mean I'm physically stronger with better cardio. I had a high heart rate issue about 3 yrs ago and took a stress teston a treadmill. I stopped after 13 min and that was with me talking to the nurse the whole time. She wrote on the results "In better health than most" or something like that.

So what kind of natural alternatives are there for those of us who suffer from chronic inflammation?
