Then there is a link Tom sent me: Does Vitamin-I help or hurt during exercise?
This is one damning paragraphs:
Moreover, Warden and other researchers have found that, in laboratory experiments on animal tissues, NSAIDs actually slowed the healing of injured muscles, tendons, ligament, and bones. “NSAIDs work by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins,”substances that are involved in pain and also in the creation of collagen, Warden says. Collagen is the building block of most tissues. So fewer prostaglandins mean less collagen, “which inhibits the healing of tissue and bone injuries,” Warden says, including the micro-tears and other trauma to muscles and tissues that can occur after any strenuous workout or race.Use NSAIDS and you don't rebuild collagen. Crap. that's something i didn't know.
A well written and researched article about why NOT to use those things at all. No wonder i felt like crap on the bike after 4 days of popping aleve so i could sleep at night w/o waking up in pain. But then looking at the diagnostic chart, my 4 days are within the suggested and prescribed recommendation. Actually treating an injury, not as a prophylactic.
Last think on the oh hey lets read a bunch of stuff while eating an early lunch so I can be starving and wicked hungry right in the middle of the afternoon.
Money and Health. from Truthout.org. Now I dunno much about this truth out page. Probably some liberal communist and now appearantly being both of those means you are a Nazi too (at least as it would appear if you listened to the LaRouche camp or other anti-obama folks). Be it as it may, what ever it is, it isn't new. Most of the stuff in there has been tossed out and heard other places. But it is a decent read putting a bunch of stuff together.
Okay - that's about as political as I'll let it get, and maybe even that's too political still.
