Cod Liver Oil Cuts the Need for Arthritis Drugs

Taking cod liver oil once a day can reduce the need for painkillers in people with rheumatoid arthritis, according to Dundee University researchers.
A 10g daily dose of cod liver oil reduced the need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by 30 percent.
Patients in the study were given either cod liver oil or a placebo. After 12 weeks, they were asked to gradually reduce their use of NSAIDs. Among those taking cod liver oil, 39 percent reduced their daily dose of NSAIDs, compared with 10 percent taking a placebo. The reduction in drug use was not associated with any worsening of pain or of the disease.
It is thought that the fatty acids in the fish oil have anti-inflammatory properties that are responsible for the beneficial effect.
NSAIDs are associated with many side effects, including stomach bleeding, heart attacks and strokes. The researchers believe the study offers hope for many rheumatoid arthritis patients who would like to reduce their NSAID use.

The Blogger
Not a lot of people know (or would even understand), but I am also a victim of drama obsession.  I've been camping in dramalandia since I was 13 years old, and that's where you will most likely find me when I have nothing to do.
One of the symptoms of this disease is daydreaming about dramas everywhere whether you are at work, walking down the stairs, sleeping, even as you are walking...creepy isn't it? Hahaha!
I am also a big Asian music fan and I think Asian music rocks! I go back and forth from Cpop to Kpop and Jpop, so I may be different (and strange) compared to other people that you can find around.  I am an elder sister  , a dreamer  , a believer  , a gamer  , wanderer  , blogger  , an optimist  , an ultimate foodie  and a, hands down, fangirl  . I love reading books  , writing  , music  , photography and traveling.
I am a nurse by profession  who is also a copy editor  and a freelance writer  . I enjoy learning how to play musical instruments  and learning various languages  . I am crazy, loud, spontaneous, free-spirited and most of the time, a klutz.
Eren Asentista a.k.a. Eray, 23, female, from Dumaguete City, Philippines. My personality...it's complicated. :D Believe me, you wouldn't want to know who I am. Hahaha! XD
I am currently watching...
In the coming days, I plan to watch...
In Asian Entertainment, I fancy...
(This is still lacking, but this is more or less it. LOL! I will most likely be updating this in the future to accommodate my growing list of biases but check em out!)
 
The things that I want to do before I die are the following:
 An Asian cruise.
Templestay in Korea.
An African safari adventure.
Backpacking to Europe.
Traveling through the European railways.
