		<description><![CDATA[When you have a headache, do you reach for aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve)? These over-the-counter medications are known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Sometimes, these over-the-counter drugs aren’t enough to combat inflammation, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Your body’s inner fi rst-aid kit depends on a wide array of tools that include a powerful class of chemicals called eicosanoids (pronounced eye-CO-suh-noids).

• Cancer cells were naturally destroyed [...]
