Substance P and Pain Relief Substance P and the effects of oral pain medications on the body.

1. Substance P and Pain Relief
Researchers have been trying to determine how to stop pain by blocking the release of
Substance P ever since its discovery in 1931.
To explain a little more SP is a neurotransmitter. It's a chemical, produced in your body
body,
among others, that travels from the site of an injury to your brain and says that hurts! A
small scratch will release a small amount. You stub your toe, a greater amount and a
broken arm even a larger amount.
Researchers, Physicians, and the Pharmaceutical Companies have been using powerful

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in recent years, has lowered some of their

As we use these oral pain medications the neuro-pathways are closed off and Substance P

doesn’t reach the brain. What’s interesting is, as we block the neurotransmitters, our bodies

gets smarter and produces more SP. As the drug wears off, and the pathways are
reopened, there's an increase of SP released and sent to the brain telling you how bad it
hurts. This is why, over time, you have to take more and more oral pain medications to
achieve the same results. In other wo you build up a tolerance and actually perpetuate a

Can SP levels be reduced in the body?
Look at humble chili pepper and one of it's components. The capsicum family of plants, of
's plants
which the chili pepper is a member, has the component capsaicin. Used as a topical lotion
it is well known as a pain relieve and for reducing SP levels.

2. Just so you know, capsicum itself may be irritating. It can cause an uncomfortable burning
sensation. .
There is a very potent but gentle form of capsicum. 3X which means 3 parts per million and
combined with a unique blend of homeopathic, herbal, and nutritional ingredients with
0.08% of capsicum.
By using the pain-relieving power of the capsicum family, you are doing yourself two really
big favors. You relieve your pain and you reduce the amount of SP in your body.
Experiencing absolutely none of the adverse side effects reported from oral pain
medication. A topical lotion that delivers relief right to the location of pain and is not
ingested to travel through the entire body.
If you have chronic pain and have been taking oral pain medications it has taken time to
build up the high levels of SP. It will take time to start bringing those levels down. As much
as four weeks. Because of the SP reducing qualities of the capsicum family of plants,
you're likely to require less and less the longer you use it because you'll have less and less
Substance P and pain.
Blocking SP is not the right idea. Reducing it's release sounds better.
With the addition of homeopathic, herbal and nutritional ingredients Substance P levels
have a tendency to drop and pain levels respond in the same manner. What a great
strategy.
