If it doesn’t damage the kidneys it may help. There was claim years ago that Ibuprofen worked against Alzheimers.

So my yeast infection and tapeworms are going to live forever?
I don’t have flies. That would be sick.

Dr. Emanuel and the board for Obamacare are going to have to revise their “Usefulness to society” metrics upward.
Social Security will have to as well.

I got a better option to extend life...
Walk for 30 minutes at medium pace every other day!
Ibuprofen will harm stomach, kidneys and liver with regular use.

I saw that, too, but I forget where. ;-)
(But seriously my GP suggested I take daily ibuprofen, and that was one of the reasons why.)

Acetaminophen can be a danger to the kidneys and liver. Not sure about ibuprofen causing the same kind of damage.

I was taking 10 mg Lisinopril + 12 mg diuretic for mild hypertension. I got off it by walking 20-30 minutes everyday. My kidneys thank me!

Acetaminophen certainly has bad record for kidney & liver damage. But every factory made pill has some bad effect on our bodies, only the proportion varies. Swallow pills only if there is no other alternative possible. I am betting on good nutrition and regular exercise.

NSAIDs can reduce kidney function but that is a transient effect and normal function returns after you stop taking it. At very high doses you can get kidney damage but at those doses your hearing loss would be a more apparent problem.
Acetaminophen does not have this effect on kidney function but at >3.5 grams/ day causes slight but measurable liver damage. At very high doses your liver cannot be saved and you are goner.

I’m not surprised since inflammation has been implicated in disorders. Better to take Bromelain between meals which is a natural anti-inflammatory.

Hmm, well, I am neither a worm, a yeast, nor a fly. Think I'll stick to an apple a day until something a little more solid develops.

Those are not very bad on your body based on my personal experience over 10 years, but have your liver and kidney functions tested yearly. I take my blood pressure regularly, and if the exercise and weight control will do it, that is my personal preference.

What isn’t reported here is that ibuprofen can bump the risk of a serious cardiac event. (Something like from 1 to 1.18)
