UCPPS - Prostatitis, Interstitial Cystitis Forum

I don't remember if this has been researched or looked at to aid in the anti-inflammatory fight. Sorry if this is old news...Just thought it might be worth looking into.

I'm also curious about this one. Has promise. Check out what people are saying about the product "Curamin" in chronic pain and inflammation, particularly with regard to muscular pain syndromes.

This is interesting! I use turmeric every day in herbal tea, along with cayenne pepper and ginger. I put these all in my porridge and when I'm cooking with every meal I put turmeric on garlic and onions and fry them. It's great in rice. It has anti-cancer properties and can be very helpful in inflammatory conditions like ours and arthritis. Our dog had arthritis in her back leg and as a result hopped around on three legs, we put turmeric in her food and still do and she's back on all fours!
Every plant and tree and shrub was put on the earth for a reason, medicine needs to revert back to the more simplistic and hollistic approach.

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd go that far, but holistic and alternative medicine does deserve more attention and respect. Problem is that there is no money in it for the pharmaceutical companies who conduct or fund most pharmacokinetic type research.

I found these capsules on amazon the other day. I might give it a shot after my quercetin experiment I trying now. I picked up the spice but I am not to fond of the taste to eat it more than a few times a week.

I took big curcumin pills twice a day for a month (can't remember the dosage...I think they were Jameson brand, something well known) with no effect.
