Kaprex for pain relief?

[HowToBe]

Maria Emmerich mentions Kaprex as a more natural, safer alternative to ibuprofen which works through the same pathway (as I recall; I don't have the book at hand). While I don't have a strong need for a painkiller aside from the occasional migraine (very rare ever since I moved away from highly processed foods), it might be helpful for my mom or to have on hand for the future. Does anyone know anything about it?

Bolded the allergen info for those who may be sensitive.

Based on the following webpage, the chlorophyll in the 'sodium copper chlorophyllin' "...is extracted from alfalfa (Medicago sativa ) using any one or a combination of the solvents acetone, ethanol, and hexane." Does this mean there is a GMO alfalfa risk, or is that negligible? A colorant in a pain reliever taken occasionally probably isn't a big concern, I suppose, especially if it spares someone some agony with minimal harm.

Thoughts?

Thank You for the info :); this is something I will try ASAp. Is not cheap but I have rheumatoid arthritis and want to find an alternative to Methrotexate; I am supposed to be taking Mobic but I try not to unless the pain levels are too uncomfortable.

What's your diet like? Several people, some with rheumatoid arthritis, have found quite a bit of pain relief by eliminating grains, dairy, and other evil foods by going on the Ketogenic way of eating (I don't like to say diet as it sounds like it is short term, but going Keto is a life-long endeavor).

I, myself, was on methrotexate and have gotten off of it by changing to Keto, although I have a different ailment. Methrotexate is evil and it would certainly be a good thing if you could get off of it. If you really want to have improvement with the RA, changing your diet could be the best thing you could do.
