Goody's powder is a wonderful painkiller for any aches and pains, but it is the best for a headach. I have bad headachs and when I feel one starting I can take a Goody and within fifteen minutes it is gone. The ingredients in goody's can be harmful to your stomach so you need to take them with food and don't take to many. I have some people in my extended family that take one half a goody everyday to prevent heart attacks. Their doctor recommended that they take goodys instead of asprin, I don't really know why but they can't be to bad for you if a doctor recommends them. My husband has some problems with his knees, they hurt him a lot some of the time and he can take a goody and the pain goes away quickly. I know that the powder works faster than taking pills that have to melt before they can go to work on your pain. I am so glad that I have found Goody Powders they work fast for all kinds of pain.
