I put a turmeric root in my smoothie every morning. Its flavour is barely noticable and if it doesn't help although I think it does , it certainly doesn't hurt !

The curcumin used in the MD Anderson Trial was Super Curcumin C3 Complex from America's Finest Inc. www.afisupplements.com
The cost is $23.50 for a bottle of 60 ~ price is reduced if a carton of 12 is purchased.

Eating salmon and more dark fruits (think cherry and cherry juice) and leafy greens helps reduce inflammation; in fact, salmon is discouraged by health care providers for someone who is dealing with wound healing, because it slows the healing (inflammation) process! Acai berry drinks are also good, but taste better mixed with cherry and other similar juices/concentrates, as a tonic- just tablespoon-doses morning and night. I rotate between these, and like the prices at vitacost.com.

There is some very interesting info about curcumin and inflamation on the Inspire website. It is about sacoidosis which is an inflamatory disease. BUT inflamation is inflamation and I am going to try the regimine on my RA. It has a lot of science behind it. It also warns about ingesting too much perine.
Hope This Helps Someone

I use Boswellin + Curcumin 1000 mg and I also take the Green Tea + Curcumin both 2 tablets each with food 2 times per day.I purchase them from ageless cures.com. I have had RA since 2006 and I also take methotrexate 8 tablets a week. I really have noticed a difference in my health. I sleep better, I dont wake up stiff, not depressed, not as tired all the time, but excersie, acupressure massage and diet also have alot to do with it. No green bell peppers, no green chile. Even a little triggers pain in my wrists within 2 hours. I am 51 years old in perial menopause. Its tough and I am now going to start working on changing my diet. I also take alot of vitamins and do the Dr. Natura cleanse every 6 months. I have had x-rays done and in 2 years had no bone changes. Keep praying.

I bought Curamin for my husband because he was suffering with a sore back. He wouldn't take the supplement I take to control RA so I thought perhaps he would try this......but no.

Anyway, I decided that I wasn't going to let it go to waste. Although I had my RA pain under control, I though I would take this and see what happened.

My results were very interesting. I'm at that age where I had started getting "hot flashes" and after 3 days on Curamin they completely disappeared. WHAT ARE RELIEF!

I don't take the curamin all the time, but anytime I experience a hot flash I go back to taking Curamin, I swear by it to control hot flashes, haven't noticed other benefits but I don't usually take it long enough for it to do alot. (I have a strong aversion to taking pills).

I'm 50+ and have had RA for 6 yrs. I've been taking 1000 to 1500 mg Curcumin per day for 2 1/2 yrs. During that time I've rarely had a flare up, pain or fatigue and if I do, it's very minor. The only larger flare-ups I've had in the past two yrs have been 2 to 3 weeks after running out of Curcumin. In fact, I'm so good on Curcumin - I don't realize how bad RA can be until I run out! I've tried two brands - both equally good: Super Curcumin (with Bioperine)from www.agelesscures.com and Curcumin from www.tumeric-curcumin.com. Best value for $ is the 2nd listed at $33 for 200 500 mg tablets or $56.66 for 2 bottles (400 tabs) - if you just want curcumin without other ingredients such as bioperine or green tea extract. I'm an RA curcumin believer - whatever brand!

Hello aec,

Just to let you know that Market America is known for their quality products and they have a product called Curcumin Extreme. You can access it through www.marketamerica.com/headedtotop It is listed under Health and Nutrition and then general health.

Also proven effective on asthma, allergies and even autism. If you do a search on the web, you will find testimonials supporting effectiveness. It is under Isotonix brand name on the same web site. I have 4 severly injured discs from a car accident and osteo. Took away so much pain and stiffness. Helped to cut down on pain killers. Check it out and if you have any questions, you can email me at Headedtotop@aol.com. Good luck to you!

I have been using Curcuminoid for approximately 3 months as an alternative antinflamitory for ibuprofen. This is the root of the turmeric plant and curcuminoid has been used as an antiflamitory in research at M.D.Anderson in Houston and Johns Hopkins.Curcuminoid has greatly reduced my reliance on ibuprofen since I only use ibuprofen now if the pain is great and the amount of ibuprofen to augment the curcuminoid far less.I can now take 1 tablet or capsule of ibuprofen vs 2-3 when my arthritis is really flaring. It's hard to find just the curcuminoid, but it is worth the search and it comes in tablet form or capsule. zflamend
from New Chapter has turmeric in it, but didn't help me as much as the pure curcuminoid tablets (1,000mg ach)2x daily with meals. Vibrant Health is the company producing this curcuminoid. I would really like to find the actual brand MD Anderson used.I have shared this information with my doctor.
