“Same goes for a shot of Jack Daniels!.................”
And if one shot is good, two is even better, and so on...
I’ve been a big fan of curry and turmeric for several years now. I played soccer fromt the time I was in first grade through my senior year in college, then spent 10 years on active duty in the army. By the time I hit my late 30s my knees were paying the price and a regular turmeric intake has done wonders for the pain and inflammation. Like all this, moderation is in order as it is also a blood thinner, dangerously so if taken in excess.
This is the one I take every day, and even though I have other health issues, THIS has made a huge difference in my achy knees and back and all over joint pain.
I usually take 4 a day, sometimes 8, depending on flare ups.

So how much to take in any given day to see a difference?
A couple of aspirin do that for me. They never bothered my stomach as they do some folks.

Sounds reasonable. An Ayurvedic remedy for arthritic pain is one teaspoon of turmeric and one teaspoon of ghee (clarified butter) in a cup of warm milk. The ghee is supposed to carry the turmeric deeper into the tissues of the body. Almond oil is a good/cheaper substitute for ghee.
When my mother was first diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and also had some arthritic pain in her hips, I had her take a cup before bed every night. Warm milk has tryptophan in it, which makes you sleepy, so it seemed like the right time of day for it. She suffered no negative side effects from it.
Tastes pretty good too IMO.
To that Golden Milk recipe, add a couple good shakes of black pepper. It increases gut absorption of turmeric active ingredients by like 300%.
Black pepper and a good fat like ghee-— that’s the key.
RE: I usually take 4 a day, sometimes 8, depending on flare ups.
May I ask how you take it? Is it a pill or grounded powder?
If the former, how many grams ( or mg ) is one pill? Thanks.
I always feel better the more shots I have!...............
Doc told me to avoid turmeric. I’m
on two different meds for extreme
hypertension.
Prior to prescribed medications,
I was taking turmeric supplements
on a regular basis, as I also
suffer from psoriatic arthritis.
It wasn’t working as I had hoped
after reading about turmeric’s
supposed benefits.
Don’t eat tumeric if you’re on Plavix. Don’t do it!!!!!!!
Thank you! I know that black pepper is very big in Ayurvedic medicine but I wasn’t aware of that effect. It makes sense.
For gout attack, indomethacin seems to work the fastest for me. Once a day allopurinol for prevention. But I hate taking a pill everyday. I would rather eat chicken than red meat. This has kept it away for the last couple years.
Pretty amazing, but sometimes I wonder if these articles are ads in disguise. So much of the internet are ads, just asking a question on Google now and all these ads pop up looking like news articles.
I did look her up though and she seems to be for real.......

Hardly a place I go for medical advice
Thanks.
Ghee..heard of but never had it.
