History of Ibuprofen:
The organic compound was first discovered by Stewart Adams along with his team: John Nicholson, Andrew RM Dunlop, Jeffrey Bruce Wilson, and Colin Burrows.
Ibuprofen was first intended to be used to treat arthritis starting in the U.K. (1969) and then going to the U.S. (1974). It was approved by the FDA in 1974.

Biblical Integration:
"The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the injured you have not bound up, the strayed you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought, and with force and harshness you have ruled them."
I chose this verse because it talks about healing and Ibuprofen is a drug that dulls pain to help the healing process.
