I was reading some older posts and came across tumeric. It wasn't done justice. This is definitely one you need to ck out. I had carpal tunnel of my wrist. It stopped that. Its pretty amazing stuff. I slacked up on supplements but this is one I'm restarting. Its best with black pepper.They are studying it for cancer. It helps with pain alot. Helps with brain plaque. Guess what? You have it right in your mustard. Thats what makes it yellow. Maybe we can get O2 trees on here as she can tell you some pointers about it. Have to go to work.

It was very interesting reading your link about Turmeric Stilltruckin. I see for it to be effective it has to be combined with Bioperine. I had a look at the ingredients of the one I have been taking for about 4 months and it does not contain Bioperine so it is not effective. I see that you are taking the correct one.
Which brand do you take?
In fact you seem to be taking all the correct supplements. Any chance you could list them in a post with the brand names ? I am sure everyone on this site would be interested.
The list I'm sending out on request doesn't say what brand each supplement is, however they're nearly all either Holland & Barrett or Biovea.
As for everyone one the site being interested, Many believe that a good varied diet provides all the nutrients we can use, and that most supplements are a waste of money at best . . .
Adding piperine isn't the only method of increasing curcumin's bioavailability btw. Does the ingredients in yours mention phytosomes, Liposomes, phospholipids . . .?
I would love to know your list. In order to get all the specific supplements you only use 2 suppliers. I am finding one here and one there it would me nice just to bring it down to 2.
Yes, I know I could probably save a lot of money by shopping around for each and every supplement, but I can afford to spare myself the trouble.
I use either Holland & Barret or Biovea for all of them except metformin, which I get from unitedpharmacies-uk.md/
( I also get roflumilast from them, but that's a pharmaceutical so not included in the list - metformin is more 'organic', like aspirin is birch bark extract. See news-medical.net/health/Met... )
I doubt if many people would be interested in taking anything like the number of supplements that I do, but I'll compile a list and PM it to you and anyone else who requests it.
I think many would be interested. Certainly me, id be very grateful to know what you take stilltruckin, there are many I've read about that i don't get round to exploring sufficiently e.g resveratrol. Im also interested in which suppliers you find best. Holland & Barrett don't have a great reputation.
H&B's products are good quality but they do have a reputation for being rather expensive - which is not true of all their products.
In fact I use them quite a lot. For one thing I've been patronising my local shop since before the internet opened other outlets to me, and I enjoy getting out once a week and doing some physical shopping.
Also, apart from the fact that I'm fortunate enough not to have to count the pennies, they ALWAYS have some kind of sale going on. With careful planning I typically reduce the total cost by 1/4 to 1/3 of the marked prices, and their loyalty card earns points equivalent to 4p in the pound.
I'd like a list please, I take Vit D3, Red Krill Oil, and Ginseng at the moment, but would like to know more. Had Bronciectasis since 3 years old, Had lobectomy at five now 69 and still rolling on. Every little helps.x
I would love o receive your list of supplements and what each is used for. Please could you say where you purchase them. I use Nutriplus but I note someone says they are not good. Many thanks bar owl
P.S. Not sure how to private message so do you need more info.
I can't comment on Nutriplus except to say they seem to specialise in a very small selection of pre-mixed formulas for different health concerns. I prefer to have greater choice, and to mix & match myself.
The list of supplements will be quite long enough without adding an explanation of the benefits of each one. I might add a link to the lesser known ones, but you'll have to google the rest
Yes, please to your list. Take a few supplements at the moment, but keep adding and think I've got myself to the stage where I don't know what/why I'm taking them!! So it'd be good to get googling and remind myself plus drop or add in others.
Turmeric is an all-round anti-inflammatory, not just for the lungs. Good link from stilltruckin.
I take about a teaspoon of organic turmeric spice (i.e. not capsules) which i get from a shop called Food for All in Casenove Road, London N16 near where we used to live. They don't officially do mail order but will parcel up an order and trot off to the post office, very old fashioned but sweet. They have a huge organic herb and spice shelf, pretty anything much you can think of. I also take cinnamon, cardamon seeds, and also fennel seeds for indigestion (made into a tea).
Ive been thinking about taking resveratrol, so very interested in stilltruckin's link and the dose she takes. I read about it from a U.S. doctor/healer called Dr. Sears, too tired to find link but if you google him you'll get his site, (plus many detractors who think he's an expensive quack). He does sell expensive compound pills for e.g. anti-aging, but he is very good for information, and very keen on resveratrol. And very hot on telomeres.
Hi stilltrucking, would love your list, I take Holland and Barrett Nature's Garden Tumeric but can't see any other ingredients in it just the Tumeric and the capsule shell.
Costs significantly more - until you factor in the fact that plain tumeric powder is only about 3% curcuminoids, and has poor bioavailability without piperine or some other enhancer . . .
Note to those I sent the list to yesterday. while assembling the supplements to go with breakfast this morning I realised I'd left one off the list: Zinc 15mg + copper 2mg.
A good portion of the people on this site get chest infections one after another. I belive I remember you saying you never had to take steroids yet. Also if I remember right your fev 1 is 30 0r lower. Quick question for you .How often do you get chest infections and what do you do when you get one?
Occasionally I find myself coughing up a bit more mucus a bit more often - and of a pale green hue - but nothing particularly bothersome for longer than I can remember. I just take extra vit C and some Manuka honey . . .
Your doing something right. I watch all these people destroying their bodys with steroids. Its ashamed. At this point I usually get chest cold once a yr. I just use nebulizer and inhaler and I'm ok. Right now think I have flu . Hope it don't go in my chest!
Thanks stilltruckin everyone can learn so much from you. Like I said, you should write a book!
