"David B. Morris argues convincingly that our culture has embraced a "myth of the two pains": belief mental and physical pain are totally different phenomena.

Common sense and science tell us that they, in fact, can not be separated.

Pain, Morris writes, "is far more than simply or exclusively a medical problem.

It can not be reduced to a mere transaction of the nervous system but also shaped by such powerful cultural forces as gender, religion and social class."

Consider the medieval Catholic self-flagellator, the Iroquois warrior who defined his identity by his defiance of torture, the American evasion of the discomfort.

A culture's response to pain can tell us a great deal.

A corporate or individual's attitude toward pain can be revealing also.

Placing control of pain in the hands of medical experts, making a sharp distinction between "mental" and "physical" pain, using pain to fuel a profit-producing machine: these contributed to the invention of heroin as they did to aspirin."

"It has been estimated conservatively that 16,500 NSAID-related deaths occur among patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis every year in the US.

This figure is similar to the number of deaths from the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and considerably greater than the number of deaths from multiple myeloma, asthma, cervical cancer, or Hodgkin's disease." - J.S. Hochman, M.D., Executive Director of the National Foundation for the Treatment of Pain 2003

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, usually abbreviated to NSAIDs, are drugs with analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects - they reduce pain, fever and inflammation.

More than 100,000 people are hospitalized each year because of adverse reactions to NSAIDs.

More than 15,000 people die, often because of compliciations caused by bleeding or perforated ulcers.

Drugs in this class include ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®), diclofenac (Cataflam®, Voltaren®), meloxicam (Mobic®), naproxen (Aleve®, Naprosyn®) and indomethacin (Indocin®).

In addition to digestive-tract damage, NSAIDs can raise blood pressure and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, as well as injure kidneys and the liver.

NSAIDs and opiates can cause severe hypersensitivity reactions by their cyclooxygenase-inhibiting mechanism or by direct effects on mast cells.

It is possible some cases in these groups are pseudoallergic or IgE-independent anaphylactic reactions, rather than IgE-mediated anaphylactic reactions.

NSAIDs were the most frequent culprits in drug-induced anaphylaxis (47.9% of cases), followed by antibiotics (35.5%) and anaesthetic agents (6.1%)

This web site is not a commercial web site and is presented for educational purposes only.




This website defines a new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."

This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior mass media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.

All views and opinions presented on this web site are the views and opinions of individual human men and women that, through their writings, showed the capacity for intelligent, reasonable, rational, insightful and unpopular thought.
