Why Clinging to Rigid Concept?

[Guest guest]

Though I have no personal experience with the

drug, I support laprodox's professional and personal

opinions on ibuprofen.<br><br>Why? Because over and over

again, I've seen the limitations of even the most

assiduously applied Nature Cure method, whether it be of

yoga, food, or what-have-you.<br><br>Let's give up our

romantic notions and rationally focus on what works.

To what rigid concept do you refer? Certainly we

do not devote outselves to the practice of yoga in

order to live our lives in pain. There doesn't seem to

be any rigid concept in ashtanga regarding using an

acetominophen once in a while. It is just... people (myself

included)bring their ambitions and their impatience to yoga and

it causes pain. To ignore the pain or to sate ones'

self with medication to "get through" it is to deny

yourself the benefits of yoga - it is to go to school but

ignore the lesson. Yoga mirrors life. Ibuprophen and

aceteminophen cannot remove impatience and ambition from a

person, only the symptom. Most (injury related) physical

pain in yoga is a symptom of such underlying emotional

causes. There is certainly nothing wrong with using

medication that I can see, but as a means to improve your

yoga, that seems ill-advised. This is what I understood

the doctor to have suggested.

trayam<br><br>everytime this stuff is taken,

there is internal bleeding. <br><br>It is a DRUG!(even

if it is over the counter).<br><br> (There is a

PLACE for drugs and surgery - for instance when one

breaks a leg you won't do an enema and sip a

greendrink.)But think it through.<br><br>Imagine having a green

drink before and/or after practice.It does the same

thing. NO BLEEDING.<br><br>It is magnesium and calcium

in its natural state that does wonders and removes

all pain by allowing the muscles to relax (this is a

science of which i'm no expert, but some minerals convert

into others once taken - there are books on the

subject).<br><br>If muscles ache after yoga - they are not

sufficiently fed and don't relax. a Greendrink alkalinizes the

body moving by moving the lactic acid out of the

muscle. The muscle then no longer aches.<br><br>No drugs

required. And i am relieved that people sat up and took

note and responded to this scary advice.<br><br>But to

our DOC: - go about it by putting the green drink to

the test. Start with cucumber/celery and add ginger

for flavor or radish. This won't be too bitter. And

when you're pleased with the result you can start to

help others that trust in you for advice.

For some people ibuprofen may be a helping factor for some people. <br><br>As

far as what I consider rigid, your opinions are somewhat different from those

who had earlier replyed to the doc.

[Guest guest]

I respect your opinion, and to a large extent

agree with you -- generally speaking, I believe it's

always best to go natural first rather than immediately

depend on help from drugs.<br><br>I'm just noting that

there are exceptions to the notion of "drugs bad,

natural good." That's been my experience.
