9. Ibuprofen risks

Ibuprofen is risky for long term use. See more here :

Also, we have a neighbor who was a moderately healthy older guy who would work in his yard and
end up with some pain and aches and wanted to feel better, so took ibuprofen. I don't have a good
sense of how much and how long, but they were generally following directions, and let his doctor
know that he was doing this. Over time, he began to feel unwell, and blood tests showed reduced
kidney function, which gradually got worse and he ended up needing daily dialysis. The general sense
is that the longer term use of ibuprofen damaged his kidneys beyond recovery, and because of his age,
he was not seen as eligible for transplant.

I am an acupressure enthusiast, and am fairly knowlegeable about Jin Shin Jyusu acupressure.
Many people think acupressure is a "placebo"; I am clear that this is not true and feel that it
can encourage health and healing quickly. A short video with a migrane specific treatment
is here :
