Marci, have you tried Turmeric?I wonder if it would help your husband's chest pain. I never really tried it until a couple of weeks ago when I got my son's cold. It was mostly in my sinuses. I tried Turmeric with Quercetin and it helped wonders! It seemed to help ease my symptoms of itchy watery eyes and sneezing and it also seemed like the cold didn't last as long as it normally would have. That combination is now going to be my "go to medicine" for colds and flue that involve the sinuses.
The turmeric also by itself helped get rid of headaches, aches and pains and cramps from my menstruation.
I don't know if he would be open to trying it, but if it worked it would seem to be a lot healthier than taking Aspirin everyday.
