Do foods of the nightshade family cause inflammation?
"Much has been written regarding the role of the nightshade family of foods. The connection between rheumatoid arthritis and these foods was originally made by Childers, a horticulturist, who found that eliminating foods of the nightshade family cured his arthritis. While his theory--that long-term consumption of the alkaloids in potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, paprika, cayenne, and tobacco inhibit collagen and cartilage repair--has never been proven, it is true that some patients find relief from their symptoms when they eliminate these foods. There is an animal model for arthritis: if cows are mistakenly given fodder that is heavily laced with wild-growing nightshade family plants, they actually develop a type of osteoarthritis. Anyone who suffers from arthritis could try avoiding these foods for a month and then gradually reintroducing them to see whether they affect the symptoms." Nathan Wei, MD, FACP, FACR

Aspirin works by blocking an enzyme called cyclooxygenase, which is needed for the production of certain chemicals that promote platelet aggregation. By inhibiting this enzyme, aspirin helps prevent platelets from sticking together and forming blood clots.
Does Aspirin inhibit vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation by blocking synthesis of the prostaglandin?
Aspirin (acetlysalicylic acid) is an irreversible inhibitor of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX-I and COX-II) enzymes which are responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid into the prostaglandins. It is supposed that this happens due to the acetylation effects of aspirin.
