What does the research say? 6:51 - Should we get tested for homocysteine and C-reactive protein for markers of inflammation and heart disease? 8:11 - As a medic I frequently hear that medical treatment in the service is abysmal, especially when it comes to treatment of chronic pain. Are there studies on this? Also, what's wrong with the VA? Why does it take so long for them to respond to a claim, and how effective is the treatment they provide? 11:15 - Naproxen or Ibuprofen? Which I use for what? A follow up to this question Both are readily available OTC NSAIDS in North America. Ibuprofen is definitely more popular.
