A recent study showed that nine pharmaceuticals commonly used in residential aged care significantly enhanced bacterial resistance to antibiotics, adding to the growing worldwide problem of declining antibiotic effectiveness, and the attendant morbidity and mortality. These included Advil, Tylenol, diclofenac (an anti-inflammatory to treat arthritis), furosemide (for high blood pressure), metformin (for high sugar levels linked to diabetes), atorvastatin (to help lower cholesterol and fats in the blood), tramadol (a stronger pain medication post-surgery), temazepam (used to treat sleeping problems), and pseudoephedrine (a decongestant). Are these or other drugs also causing lowered immune defenses against chronic viruses, which you have confirmed are the cause of 85% of chronic diseases? Hanbiao Chen, Sylvia A.

Was the research, including the clinical data, for the paper we asked you about, “Acute inflammatory response via neutrophil activation protects against development of chronic pain,” valid and not corrupted by the interlopers to malign seemingly useful common painkillers? Given your warnings that clinical research cannot always be trusted, we just want to be sure. What is most important for us to know?
