Is it still safe to take Advil, Aleve, and other pain relievers?

OTC pain relievers are bad on the liver and aspirin types can cause bleeding and ulcers. Occasional ones are understandable but I'm talking about people living off them. I'm a little scared of taking blood thinners or aspirin on a regular basis because everyone I heard taking those things end up in the hospital with some sort of bleeding issue. Take vitamins C, E, cod liver oil and the like to thin the blood. As a matter of fact, before they put you on blood thinners, they tell you to STOP these things. What? Stop vitamins in favor of drugs? When one is ill, they ALL THE MORE need vitamins else they are degenerating more and the pills cover the symptoms which is why I'm so critical of those. In addition, if doctors tell you to stop such natural things because it could make bleeding worse, then its an indirect admission they do work. So the choice is a no-brainer.

I'ts as safe as it always was....which isn't very safe. My rheumatologist recommends acetaminophen (Tylenol) was being the easiest on kidneys.

I heard di-hydrogen monoxide intoxication can kill, too, and is the main constituent in many poisons. We have to get that down like our cholesterols.

OK...but...seriously: what are safe alternatives? Opiates? Medical marijuana?

I use motrin when I have to. no medicine is without risk.
