Pain Relief Study

Pain is the universal experience, but despite the billions spent on studying pain, and inventing new drugs to handle it, there is now a new pain study that makes sense.
It turns out that there are two very different, and very distinct sources of pain.
The first one is obvious -- you get hit on the toe with a hammer. The toe hurts.  What has not been too well understood is that there are actually "pain impulses" that are like slow electricity -- they travel up the nerve channels from the toe to the brain.  Pain killers, like aspirin, or Celebrex, or dozens of others, block these nerve channels so the electrical impulses can't move on them.  Thus, they never arrive at the brain, and you don't feel that pain.
When the pain is great you need lots of drugs to stop the impulses.
So far the only things that stop those pain impulses are drugs that usually have harmful side effects, particularly when taken repeatedly.
But, there is another source of pain that has been hidden for all of history.
This is the revolutionary breakthrough described on www.painstudy.com.  It turns out that past memories can cause pain also.  This is not "pain in the head" although it seems to be there.
These past memories can be recalled, just by thinking about them, or more often by being reminded of them, without even knowing that you do think of them.  They actually send those same slow electrical impulses down from the brain, where they start, through the nerve channels, into the toe for instance.  These impulses cause inflammation and actual pain in the toe.  Now a secondary pain impulse travels back up from the toe, into the brain, where pain is felt "from the toe." These pain impulses can actually move in both directions in the nerve channels. This is the new discovery explained at length on www.painstudy.com .
This second source of pain comes from memories and did not start with the toe.
There could well have been a memory of a toe being hit. That was years ago, but the memory comes in on you and brings that past pain along with the picture.  Your toe, today, was NOT hit by a hammer, but it now starts to hurt in the same way.  You may never be aware of this past memory, it just hits you.
This is a type of pain that starts in the brain, goes to the toe, then bounces back to the brain. 
It may have started with a memory, or picture, of a toe that had been hit by a hammer, weeks or even years ago.  That picture hits you when you are tired, or stressed out, and along with the picture of the toe comes the electrical impulse that runs DOWN the nerve channels, to the toe, causes pain and inflammation there, and bounces that pain back to the brain.
It is a vicious cycle.
Pain killers also stop these memory pictures that often contain pain, but the harm here is much more subtle.
Pain killers stop the pain of past memories by cutting you off from your memories.  You might see part of the memory, but not all. 
This is new and revolutionary data.  It has not been understood until now that pain killers make it harder to think, harder to recall past data and past experiences.
Oh, you think you can remember facts when you take an aspirin, but there is a subtle reduction in your ability to recall past experiences.  The ultimate of pain killing is, of course, a psychiatric drug that turns you into a vegetable that never has any feelings or ideas -- these memories are blocked by the drug.
There appears to be a new pain killer that stops the nerve impulses in those channels, but DOES NOT stop the memories of past experiences.  This has yet to be proven in field trials, and calls for a massive public testing of this new non-drug method of getting relief from pain.
This new pain killer starts with a simple substance many already use to kill pain of arthritis and other pain -- MSM, or Methyl Sulfonyl Methane.  You may remember that actor James Coburn made this natural remedy popular.
MSM handles pain for some people, but it wasn't strong enough for many others.

Dr. Ayyangar, in India, is a practicing physician who uses the standard medical procedures of much of Asia -- Ayurvedic Medicine.  Ayurvedic Medicine is based on ancient books, some of them 5000 years old, written mostly in Sanskrit.  Dr. Ayyangar reads Sanskrit with ease and has discovered that when you mix certain of the Ayurvedic herbs with the power of MSM, you get a very superior form of pain relief that IS NOT a drug, and has none of the harmful side effects of the usual aspirins and other toxic drug pain killers.

Furthermore, it appears that this Herbal MSM does NOT reduce mental clarity and does NOT reduce a person's ability to recall past experiences.  Even if these past experiences include something like "pain in the toe" the pain impulses don't travel through those nerve channels, and the pain is reduced.
According to this new research there are past memories which cause "pain" which is not felt in the toe, or the body -- these are the common "head aches."  Apparently this type of pain does NOT have to travel through the nerve channels -- it is already "in the head."  The new herbal MSM does NOT do much for this type of pain because this type of pain is almost always caused only by those past memories which Herbal MSM does not diminish.
But, there are millions still suffering from arthritis and other pain -- pain that has a physical cause somewhere in the body. The pain impulses travel through the nerve channels and arrive in the brain. But, with the herbal MSM, there is a clamp down on those nerve impulses, and a decrease or elimination of pain.
Herbal MSM is not a drug and does not require any prescription or any particular care in use.  The active ingredients are herbs and the very safe MSM.
As you would guess, there is more to it than just mixing a few herbs with MSM.  It turns out that the method of extraction of these herbs is vital to this newly discovered usage.  Also, the method of USING this mixture is different from what you have become accustomed to in Western Medicine.
Ayurvedic remedies are intended to be taking as loose powder in the mouth and mixed with the saliva in the mouth -- this powder is to be "nutured" in the mouth, and the result is that much of this remedy is then absorbed through the very sensitive tissues in the mouth. That is the way Ayurvedic herbs are intended to be taken.  They work less effectively when put into capsules and swallowed.
Western pain killers are virtually all drugs that are harmful.  They are packaged in tablets and capsules so you can't taste them, even if you wanted to.
If you want to test for yourself, and need to take an aspirin sometime soon?  Well, just chew on that aspirin, and mix it in your mouth with the saliva.  Hold this mixture for about 30 seconds, allowing the dissolved aspirin to be absorbed through the tissues in your mouth -- you will see that the aspirin is effective far more quickly than if you just swallow it.
You are right!  It doesn't taste very good!
That is another reason that massive field trials are needed for this Herbal MSM -- to see how many people are willing to experience the fresh, but herbal, taste of Herbal MSM as it dissolves in your mouth.  Some people will dislike this taste enough that they prefer to only swallow pills, even if the Herbal MSM is effective in reducing pain, does not cause harm and costs less than the prescription pain killers which now sell more than $5 billion every year in the US alone.
The basic substance, here, MSM, has other very peculiar characteristics.  It is a penetrant and a carrier.  It penetrates through skin, and mouth tissue, and even cells, very easily.  It is also a "carrier."  It carries other substances along with it as it penetrates.  Thus this is the perfect base into which to place the specially extracted Ayurvedic herbs -- the herbs are carried in through the mouth tissues as the MSM penetrates these tissues.
The people at www.painstudy.com have decided that they need field trials, and since this is not a substance that would require FDA approval, they can offer free trial packages direct to the public for testing what types of pain are relieved, and how the people feel about the taste.
The trial size sells for $25 and may be enough for as many as 10 days.  The normal size is either a 300 capsule bottle or a 32 ounce jar of loose powder.
