Recently, the Wyeth Company, better known as the makers of Advil, advertised their all-new maximum-strength pill prematurely. The company pulled its ads because Maximum-Strength Advil hasn't been approved by the FDA.
"This is the aspirin that will end all headaches. When I take this pill, regardless of if I have a headache or not, it will destroy my headaches and the children of my headaches for generations to come," a speculator speculated. "It will figuratively sew salt into my brain, making it so nothing, especially headaches, will ever grow there again."
"It has an anti-headache fallout radius this big," said one man, holding his hands about one foot away from the sides of his head.
A headache can occur for any number of reasons: Sitting too close to the TV, stress, hormone imbalance, loud children, sticking head between the cymbals of a simian percussionist, and illness. When the body becomes aggrieved in such a way it releases this junk called prostaglandins. These things float around in the body telling the brain that there is trouble. They are like car alarms inside that are inside the body. The brain becomes annoyed by these "car alarms" and pain is felt by the person using the brain.
Advil is a form of ibuprofen which works essentially the same way aspirin does. When a consumer consumes an aspirin, aspiriny chemicals go into the bloodstream. The chemicals inhibit the body's ability to make prostaglandins. Essentially, aspirin pulls the plug on these little car alarms. This allows the brain to get back to bed, because it has an important presentation in the morning.
Headaches are common. They are usually not cause for alarm. If a person suffers from chronic headaches, he or she may want to see a neurologist or a pain management specialist.
