There are also many more natural substances that can inhibit COX enzymes but I'll leave it at that.


flavonoids, fish oils, vitamin D

All due respect...You're obviously not someone dealing with the chronic everyday pain of degenerative joints. Something tells me plant metabolites and fish oil ain't going to ease my pain.

I do not however, believe "flavonoids" are quackery. I was involved in a study in the early 90's that showed the flavonoid Genistein (isoflavone from soy) being very effective at inhibiting angiogenesis in estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor (ER/PR) positive breast tumors. The company, Aeron Biotechnologies, sold me their cryo-bank of cytosol and paraffin breast cancer tissues and their diagnostic subsidiary to fund their focus on Genistien oncology applications. They've done well with it.
