The use of tumeric as a pain killer

[Ginsing]

I have been reading a lot about using Tumeric as a pain killer for helping with Fibromyalgia and Arthritis pain and other inflammation. I thought someone had asked of the effectiveness it is a highly effective painkiller and could be useful to us in our armour against pain.

The dose it would seem must be kept below 1500 a day and of course it does have

quite a few side effects that need to be taken into consideration.

I have had a long look and have made the decision to try it but watch the side effects there are more than I would have liked.

However, I am a believer in natural medicine so perhaps it is the WAY .

tAake a look xgins

Can we just eat loads of Indian food

I know it's really good for you, but hadn't realised you could get it as a supplement.

Cheers for the info Gins.

[Ginsing]

Hi pip,

I think I would rather have the supplement lol

Hi gins yes I've read that curry is good for FMS and arthritis, I use to love it, still do but now I have Barratts Osophegus I can't touch it, says Dee cursing lol enjoy your curries hugs ...Dee x

[Ginsing]

Hi Dee try it in tablet form might just help you pain

[Fibrofoggiest]

Oh gins, you've stirred that vacant space where once my brain resided, I think I read an article about this some time back but of course it got lost in the mele of my well known fogginess. Unfortunately my tummy doesn't agree with curry, so I think I might just head for the tablet form, like Dee.

Pip xx

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to pip_r]

Hhhuuummggghhh ....... All I can say to you is Chilli !!! ........ Hehehehe ........stands well back........

[pip_r in reply to Fibrofoggiest]

Arrgghhh..! Remembering bout of IBS the other day from too much red meat. The chilli was delicious though You are soooo naughty Foggy Thankfully... it's chicken curry xx

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to pip_r]

HHhhmmm I knew you'd come up with some clever retort hehehehe

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to pip_r]

Ok, if its chicken then make with the doggy bag for me, make sure it's thermo-insulated so I get it warm, tis a long long way..... Hehehehe xx

[pip_r in reply to Fibrofoggiest]

I don't think they'll be any left xx

[Fibrofoggiest]

Not even. Teensiest weeensiest Foggy sized portion ?? Hangs head......oh woe is me for I am a poor and un-curried fibromite

Foggy x ....... Left half starving by her friends

[pip_r in reply to Fibrofoggiest]

Friends... friends... you didn't tell me you had any friends

By the way, the chicken biriani and chicken passanda with gluten free naan (which tasted like normal naan bread) was fabulissimi..!

I'll send you some virtual spices and a couple of chickens to get you started

Pip (full of curry) xx

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to pip_r]

That's torn it, it's war....... all gloves off and no whoevers rules apply !!!

You think you can buy me off with a couple dodgy chickens and spices, and there I was making chilli for you............

Foggy crawls off into the friendless corner and weeps huge tears of woe

[pip_r in reply to Fibrofoggiest]

I hope you're using quorn mince for that chilli, but given revenge is imminent I know it going to be the proper stuff..!

Note to self... beware an invite to dinner with Foggy and find out where the toilets are

You can come out of the friendless corner now. I think Zeb likes you xx

[Hidden in reply to pip_r]

I of the squeak variety thought you of the nutty variety to be from the same ilk of creatures that run away from cats! just like me oh! owls

[pip_r in reply to Hidden]

You're so bad You must stop hanging around Foggy - she's a bad influence

Owls are ok - I just throw my nuts at them xx

I make a juice with my juicer, with carrots, celery, turmeric (1/2 teaspoon) beetroot, spinach, lemon juice (a splash) it doesn't taste too hot but it is good for energy boost, keep it up and in a month you'll feel a difference in the energy side. Don't go too mad with the activity side in moderation. Weight loss juice is good too, celery, grapefruit, lemon juice in the juicer and drink every morning. If your on any medication please check before having grate fruit as some medication could react to it, if stated in box or in med leaflet then find alternatives such as raspberries etc.

[Hidden in reply to panther237]

hi panther that sounds really tasty with the exception to celery

I cannot have grapefruit because of the statins that I have to take and it does state on the label the chemist prints out. It really narks me too because I love pink grapefruits

yummy I may try it! :0

xxxzebxxx and fluffies in celery green, beetroot red and turmeric yellow hope you like their cuddliness

My fingers, arms, ankles, feet itch a lot despite itch cream from Dr.. I'd like o try Tumeric, and have the powder but how? It's hard to be sociable. Sat at dinner with small part of family, got up and down a bit and at the really hurt a lot, bottom muscles, knees, then some IBS? later at home. seems I can't

know when it hits. Don't want to be social situation, even with family. Too hard to remember words, ,,,,ambien helps sleep but so does OTC allergy med which helps itching too. .hope all get relief. M.A.
