Chronic pain persists for weeks, months or years, and its source can sometimes be a mystery. The cause can be a long since healed injury, but it may also be a degenerative condition, persistent inflammation or high levels of toxicity in the tissues. Pain affects as many as 9 in 10 of the people
in the United States. Modern pain control can be divided into four categories: drugs, surgery, sensory modulation and psychological assistance. But a growing body of research suggests that what we eat has a profound effect on how
we feel.
