I've seen this commercial on TV so I thought I'd check it out. On the left hand side of the page you can see the "formula" for this product. It's so amazing that it will take away all or most of your pain!
Do these people really believe we fall for this? If it's so good why not sell it OTC instead of just ordering from TV or online?
Here it is..the NoPainSpray!

Actually it appears to be a homeopathic remedy which many people find to be effective. That said, homeopathy usually isn't a one-size-fits-all remedy and works best when it is tailored for the individual patient/symptoms. I wouldn't TOTALLY dismiss the claims though as I have had good luck with some homeopathic remedies that weren't tailored specifically for me.

I tried Arnica Montana for some ache/pain I had and the ache/pain did go away after a couple of weeks.
Of course a lot of little aches/pains will go away in awhile...

Spraying it under your tongue? Yikes. I think it's scary to injest something like that. I can buy the idea of an all-natural product that you rub into the affected area - Lakota is the one that comes to mind - but something you injest???

Rose, I have used Arnica after every surgery with GREAT results! My PS has commented at how well I heal and how little (if any) swelling/bruising I have. That is one remedy that is ALWAYS in my pantry. Best wishes!

Beesie, LOL...it isn't like Ben Gay or anything. It is intended to be ingested with the idea of getting to the 'root' of the problem. Most homeopathic remedies are taken under the tongue because they are most quickly absorbed that way. I also have Vitamin B-12 that is taken sublingually. Best wishes!

Oh God, Shirley, I believe it!
Fortunately I am all supplimented out.The $20 intro offer is VERY tempting, but I fear it will become another thing I think I just cant stop taking.
Homopathics do work. Znd this looks like a pretty good formula
Maybe Dr Frank finds it easier to market online.There is maybe, a more recptive audience than people in drugstores whose minds are only on glucosomine..
I see my vingar-shot pal Ruby here, and she is a very knowledgeable person.
So I cant be entirely crazy.
If I had the $ (and the potential to keep buying it,) I would definately try it .As it is, I'm mulling cutting out Zyflammend, which doesnt SEEM to do anything, until I quit it and become completely crippled.

Yes unfortunately they don't just believe it, they know for a fact that there is a segment of the general population that falls for this line of crap. Personally, I think these kinds of products and advertisements should be legally banned. They prey on and profit from peoples desperation for relief of pain and symptoms. Just the wording of the ad itself in proclaining that the product will take away "all pain" is a definate red flag that it's a scam and that the claims are unfounded. Not only ads for various wonder drugs and assorted supplements, but also the books proclaiming such nonsense as "the cure for all disease". Any add that's claiming to know the cure for all disease should hit the roundfile immediately...but so sadly, some people are so desperate for a cure or some kind of relief that their common sense is impaired and they throw their money to these vultures.
I have a very dear friend with a horribly severe case of multiple sclerosis who is just millimeters away from requiring a wheelchair full-time. He has terrible pain from spasticity all day long and has for years, ordered a multitude of these kinds of products in a desperate attempt to find something that will help or cure him. The latest thing he recently ordered is some kind of tibeatan herb product that proclaims to cure pain "naturally". And yes, he also forks over money he really doesn't have to spare for any book that claims to know the secrets of curing disease too. He'll also buy just about any product with the word "natural" on the label.
Yes indeed, they know the gullible are out there in large numbers... and they have no qualms about taking advantage of them and picking their pockets dry!!

My little pellets were to be put under the tongue. I think if you take those little nitro pills for heart pain that they are taken that way as well.
I am on the fence about whether these things actually help or not. I think they are subtle and you can't expect to see results immediately. With many prescription drugs you KNOW right away you've taken it, and homeopathic remedies aren't like that.
I would never recommend someone do that instead of chemo or other conventional drug for a life threatening condition. But pain is so subjective. I can't fault anyone for giving them a try. But if they don't work, and you've tried it for the proper period of time then I think it's back to the conventional idea.
