folks if you have any kind of a faulty immune system, like arthritis, or colon problems or some such autoimmune disease- be very careful as tumeric increases the immune system which you definitely do NOT want to do with an autoimmune disease-

If you have such a condition be very careful about taking ‘miracle herbs’ or vitamins, or sugars or any such immune boosting substances-you may actually be shortening you life if you do so, or making your condition worse- giving premature flare-ups- causing worse inflammation

Thank you for sharing. I have taken turmeric off and on as it’s supposed to lower blood pressure, mine seems to increase whenever I’m taking it. I take meds for high blood pressure because no “natural “ cure (turmeric, magnesium, hawthorn, olive leaf, etc) worked. Some made it worse.

I have an autoimmune disease that is in remission-was tested Monday so I’ll see if it still is in remission- so perhaps that’s why the natural route doesn’t work for me?
