Many painkillers are harmful to the intestinal mucosa

According to a study carried out in 1998 by the Department of Pharmacology at the Christian-Albrechts University in Kiel, there is not a single painkiller apart from acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) that does not have a negative effect on the intestinal mucosa and absorption in the intestine. The permeability of the intestine for molecules radioactively labelled with Cr51, which are not actually absorbable, was measured.

The permeability of the mucous membranes for pathological molecules increased by a factor of up to 11. This is evidence of a leaky gut, a permeable intestine, due to the administration of pain medication. The effect of tableting agents such as modified starch, which led to ulcerative colitis in all the rats studied within just four weeks, and the influence of emulsifiers and magnesium stearate on the protective mucus layer in the intestine were not taken into account.

Pain is the body's cry for orthomolecular substances! This can be fresh water as well as fresh air or mucous membrane-protecting vitamins in pure form.
