Dear JN6768,
Your post is a good one! Turmeric is a natural spice used to treat pain and also heal stomach ulcers. I wish the drug manufacturers would focus more on this symptom. Right now acetaminophen (Tylenol) and aspirin (NSAIDS) are the ONLY over-the-counter pain relievers without a prescription. The brands may be different, but that's all.
Long term use of either can damage the stomach or liver. We need a stronger type of pain relief but something that is coated to protect other organs.
