[edit] Precisely one half?

"Anti-inflammatory drugs make up one half of analgesics...."

What an amazing statement! I'd like to see the raw data and calculations. How are anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics counted and distinguished? How could the ratio between them be determined precisely at any given time? How long is that "one half" ratio likely to prevail? Does it refer to them by weight or by number? The statement is not only hard to understand, but hard to believe. D021317c (talk) 15:40, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inhibit healing?

It would seem to me that, intuitively, if inflammation is part of the healing process, then preventing inflammation would inhibit healing. I'm fairly sure that supposition is wrong, but I'd like to know why it's wrong. ASWilson (talk) 17:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
