Not stupid! Use it as you would aspirin for pain and swelling. You can take it internally and crush it and apply it topically like for toothaches and oral surgery. breast cancer surgery or arthritis pain. It works very much aspirin but does not inhibit prostaglandin production. Every woman should take bromelaine to protect against breast cancer. I take 2 grams a day. One warning I forgot to add about swelling -swelling is dangerous if it is uncontrolled and extreme. It can cut off blood supplies to the affected area. Everything within reason.

QUESTION: Is the bromelaine being digested or applied locally? Probably a stupid question but better to ask then assume the answer. connie
