I got this out of the January 2007 Edition of "Taste For Life" a local magazine here in Seattle and thought I would share.

----------------
Research shows that certain compounds in foods help relieve pain. Here are some to try:

Broccoli and other cabbage family veggies- contain sulforaphane, which blocks the enzyme that triggers inflammation and joint pain.

Cherries- rich in anthicyanins and salicylates, have anti-inflammatories similar to aspirin. Tart cherries contain melatonin, another pain reliever.

Fatty Fish - are an important source of omega-3 fats-anti-inflammatories that may help ease back and neck pain as well as painful joints.

Olive Oil- contains oleocanthal, an anti-inflammatory, similar to ibuprofen. A number of raw vegetables have enzymes that help lessen pain, adds Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D.
