You can also google "celebrex adhesions" and find information on a study involving mice and post abdominal surgery adhesions done at Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts. The names of the doctors listed are Dr. Puder and Dr. Green.
I might not yet have found the informtion linking Dr. Reuben to mice
study at Children's Hospital in Boston. But based on what I found so
far, it looks to me like different medical studies, different kinds of
surgery, and different doctors involved in the research. I'm not
advocating Celebrex one way or the other, just think it's important that
we look into these kind of claims for ourselves, which I believe is also
what you're suggesting.
