Wonderful Results with Turmeric

Post by Deborah K. » Thu Apr 24, 2025 5:55 pm

My sister has terrible arthritis, the kind that has her fingers all bent and barely useful, and she has been living with terrible pain for years. I read an article about natural remedies that do and don't work recently, and learned that turmeric helps folks with arthritis pain, as well as many other things. We talked, and I ordered the following turmeric supplement from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DH23L7T7?re ... title&th=1 . She called me so excited to tell me that she doesn't need the pain medicine her doctor prescribed, and that she just generally feels better all over. I couldn't be more happy! :D

My husband and I both started taking it, and are both seriously benefiting from it for other reasons. Alan has bad peripheral neuropathy in his feet, and even with a remedy his doctor suggested, it was only slightly better. Then he took the turmeric, and it is much better, and still improving. I take it for bad nighttime leg cramps. I cannot take magnesium due to a side effect caused by my now-gone cancer, so I started the turmeric, and the leg cramps are gone! We are both delighted!

So there you have it. My sister tried turmeric some years ago and had no result. This one works! I hope this offers someone some hope. I reported on the results my husband and I are having, in case this could help someone else if they have those particular problems.

Note: I know this is off topic, and I haven't posted here lately, but I just thought I would put it out there in case it can help someone.

Your link to Amazon is no good.

Now that's weird. It was working because I went to it and I ordered some and I got it April 26.

Now it's not working of course and even the link to the product in my order history doesn't work.
At this time I can't even reorder it but I don't have the time to go find it elsewhere.

Turmeric Probably Won’t Help Your Arthritis — But Curcumin Might

Learn more about how curcumin, a chemical in the spice turmeric, may help reduce arthritis symptoms.

... “Turmeric only contains about 2 to 6% curcumin, so you’re not getting much [of the anti-inflammatory effect],” he says.

... Experts say to stick with curcumin supplements, preferably the high-quality extracts used in clinical trials, which contain up to 95% curcumin.

The full article is worth reading if you are considering a supplement.

And like any supplement be aware of side effects and interactions they may have with other medications. I take amlodopine (Norvasc) and aspirin daily which may have interactions with turmeric which I also take. Some days I do have mild side effects which may be from the turmeric, but my doc says as along as the side effects are mild, she sees no problem with continuing the turmeric. It does help me sleep as I'm less achy through the night.
