I am in the upper 40s. Started playing tennis and it took a toll on my knees. Went to the doctor and he prescribed diclofenac. Taking four pills (1500mg each) of turmeric had better results for me than 75mg of diclofenac twice daily. I could tell my digestive system was not the same with diclofenac. Turmeric is a very powerful anti-inflammatory. It works very well for me. I have been symptom free for over eight months now.

Turmeric for me is a life saver in my early 50's five years ago I had what I thought was a severe case of stiff neck. It turns out I was diagnosed with severe arthritis in my neck as well as two degenerative disk's. I was told to go to therapy and if that did not work take large doses of ibuprofen for the rest of my life. Well I looked up what I can take naturally and turmeric can up in almost every search. So I went to Costco and bought the Brand Youtheory and almost immediately the pain subsided not a little but 100%. Now my diagnosis has not changed medically but I can tell any on this site that I am 100 % pain free for the five years since my diagnosis. Praise God for giving man the wisdom to produce holistic forms of plants and their roots to heal our bodies of this horrific pain of arthritis.

Your information on turmeric seems correct. What makes it work better is the addition of ginger (fresh if you have it), black pepper helps to absorb the turmeric, garlic, and put it all in bone broth for a morning drink. I also add other stuff to make it more soup-like. This concoction makes my aches and pains minimal. (I am 69 years old and a triathlete by history).

I have psoriatic arthritis for the last 15 years, and have been taking tumeric everyday for about 10 years. Definately helps a lot with the pain side of things, first 3-4 years i was on naproxen for the pain, i could barely walk down stairs in the morning. Now on no painkillers of any kind. I feel like it's a long haul kind of thing, also have tried the more expensive curcumin varients which i found made no difference to just taking plain old tumeric. I would say tho that it is very important to take tumeric with some fat as it helps the body absorb better, even just a bit of toast with butter. 1000mg a day in caps form and 1tsp powdered form in my chick curry twice a week does the trick for me. General tips for arthritis:- Avoid processed foods, if you can't cook then learn, can be fun btw :). Stay active even if it is sore to move, i work in construction(heavy work) and i am in in more pain on my days off. Stay positive, B vitamin complex will help with this. Singapore style noodles you say, i'll have to give em a try ;)

Excellent! Among the south Asian (including ours) households turmeric is a common spice but quuite routinely used by mouth and also by warming it slightly and wrapping with some kind of bandage/cloth piece around the painful joints, even muscles. I doubt if it works except for the placebo effect.

I’m glad to hear this. I’ve been suffering from pretty advanced osteoarthritis for more than a decade, with particularly bad pain in my lower spine, my shoulders, and my hips. A couple of years ago, someone told me to take turmeric capsules daily to deal with the pain. For about six months, I took the recommended amount every day. I didn’t notice any effect at all on my joint pain. No reduction in pain whatsoever. No increase in the amount of time I could stand and walk. I couldn’t understand why it wasn’t working for me. This video does a good job of explaining why that is.

Thanks, guys for another great video. I am 57 and was diagnosed by a rheumatologist with mild psoriatic arthritis several years ago. It affects only a few joints in my right hand and right foot and ankle. I was taking about 400mg of ibuprofen 4-times daily and that seemed to be doing an okay job to minimize the pain. But I didn't like taking that much ibuprofen. After consulting with my GP and the Pharmacist, I decided to switch out the middle two ibuprofen doses with 2,250 mg of Turmeric Curcumin which is 500 mg of curcumin. I feel that the pain management has been about the same as it was with the ibuprofen alone. I noticed when I temporarily stopped taking pain relievers before my COVID vaccination, the pain increased quite a bit and it made walking difficult. I have also tried reducing the dosages to find what minimum works for me and it seems that when I reduce the from what I indicated above my pain increases. So, for me, it seems to be helpful.

@hillbillybeerdranker6678 2 года назад

SPR, the reason Curcumin helped your arthritis is because it's a chelator of free copper. Many people are born with partial defects in the ATP7B copper binding gene, which causes toxic free or unbound copper to accumulate in the body. The joints are one of the secondary copper storage areas. If the body is storing copper bound to ceruloplasmin, then it's non toxic, but when it starts storing the unbound copper is when you have problems. The free copper test code at the lab corp I use in Oklahoma is 279071. The test # in your state might differ, but the test is called "direct measuremnt of free copper". If your free copper is high zinc or TM can be used to lower it. TM is short for ammonium tetrathiomolybdate. TM can bring copper to a non toxic state in 2 weeks and decopper you in 8 weeks, whereas high dose zinc takes 9-12 to get copper to non toxic levels and 2 to 3 years to normalize it. Zinc must be taken on an empty stomach one hour before or two hours after meals because food binds it up and renders it inactive. It's a primer for metallothionein protein in the intestinal cells that will absorb the copper. Every 8 days your intestinal cells turnover and new ones are made, and the old ones laden with copper and metallothionein go out the stool, then the process starts over again. Taking anti inflammatories for arthritis is just treating the symptoms of the problem and not dealing with the cause of it. Get the free copper down and you'll correct the problem.

It won't make your joints better, but it will help inflammation and pain.

It doesn't get rid of all of it, but it does take a chronic level 6-8 in pain down to 3-5, which is significant if you live with it daily. Mainly because I can't take NSAIDs

Happy Thanksgiving to you both! I have been taking turmeric for two years on advice of my medical team after getting stem cell therapy. They didn't want me using any OTC drugs. I have to admit at first I thought that it was helping but not so much now. I have had cortisone shots, ortho-visc series of shots (4) and PRP. Out of everything I think the PRP was the best although I think the stem cell ($$$) gave my knee more stability. My knee is still crap (medical term :) but I keep moving along, try to walk a lot and stay clear of stairs. Really don't want a knee replacement but who knows. Trying to stay young at 68 by enjoying life and all the blips that seem to come up. Always a better day ahead.

(As an aside, I ate tumeric, daily, for over a decade with various dishes; it didn't prevent the osteoarthritis that developed in my right hip. What I've found best aids with joint pain management is keeping active with lots of walking, exercising, stretching, and a good diet that's not so inflammatory based.) Best, J.

Hi Jason. Yes there does appear to be a relationship between the two. And Turmeric may help the symptoms but definitely not prevent progression. All the best J. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did

For Turmeric to be effective you must use fresh ground pepper. Also, there are varieties of Turmeric - and using FRESH ground or cut turmeric vs processed powder you also have a largely varied reaction. Cinnamon is much the same - you have to have the right family of turmeric with the other components to activate the anti-inflammatory reactions.

Walmart sells this brand, its the best and also cheapest and readily available anywhere in the country. Studies have shown that bioavailability rises from 2% to 40% with the pepper extract (piperine).

I enjoy your videos. 😃 I had been taking NSAIDS at least twice a day for close to 30 years. Fortunately, my kidney & liver values have been very good. Around 3 years ago, I stopped taking the NSAIDS and started taking turmeric. I had a couple of very painful months until it kicked in. A year later, my NP advised me to restart the NSAIDS due to a severe flare up of an old back injury. I had to quit physical therapy this last summer because the joint pain was unbearable and restarted the turmeric 1500mg twice a day. Immediately, the pain abated with virtually no recurrence. I worked in Critical Care for over 45 years, so I understand your stance. I don’t care if it’s a placebo effect or not, it works for me. I also take flaxseed oil capsules for my cholesterol. One can tell by my labs whether I’ve been taking it or not.

Thank you both, excellent video as always! I started taking Turmeric years ago specifically for my arthritis. I read about it in a few health mags & also off a couple of arthritis websites. It's advertised alot over here in Britain now as an almost miracle supplement for all sorts of conditions. Even MDS which my hubby has. I don't know if it helped me but I don't know what I would be like without taking it. The only time I had to stop taking it was when I was having my knee replacements done as it can interfere with inflammation or anaesthetic levels readouts? Can't remember which! I also started to use a capsicum rub on my knees which worked well. But BIG warning do not use before putting braces on your knees. My knees started to cook up to boiling point!! I had to keep splashing cold water on them to cool them down! Can laugh about it now but wasn't funny at the time!!! Be warned ⚠️ Thanks again both - love these videos x

Last year I could barely walk because my leg joints hurt so much. My son told me to take turmeric. I went to the nutrition store and they had a huge poster for a brand with a massive amount of curcumin, and I wound up buying that. It was like a miracle drug! (I can’t take Tylenol or Motrin, so I can’t compare. They certainly might be just as effective but the side effects are so toxic.) What I wound up doing a few months later was eliminating as much sugar from my diet as I could and that really eliminated the root cause of my joint pain so I stopped taking the expensive curcumin pills.

No matter how well research is done, certainty in its conclusions remains unattainable. That is the beauty of the process, there is always room for improvement. I don’t doubt your statement and am pleased for your improvements. Have you had a trial of ceasing the turmeric for three or four weeks to see if you still require it? Does returning to treatment then produce the benefits again? Reading research that shows no benefit in reasonably conducted trials does not inspire me to get behind it.

There's one by Manna, that works pretty good, but is quite expensive. By contrast there is a lessor expensive one by 2by4, and it is both less expensive and also doesn't work as well. Either one won't eliminate inflammation or pain from arthritis, but does help a little. And both taste kinda like apricots.

I doubt that I'm getting enough tumeric/curcumin to make a different, but the drink itself is pretty powerful. Plenty of fiber. can mix several quarts at a time and refrigerate. Having said all of that, I started taking CBD oil with curcumin and that has helped my joint (OA) pain, depression, anxiety, etc. Just had some bones in my hand fused and OA cleaned out yesterday, so I'm taking Norco for that acute pain and hope the CBD (plus diet and exercise) will reduce the need for Norco and/or OTC pain meds more quickly that previous post-op pain mgmt.
