Arthritis (Page 6): Black pepper has piperine that combines with curcumin (active ingredient of turmeric) and makes easier for gut to absorb. The exact chemical process is beyond me.

The exact chemical process is beyond me. Scientists say use the combination. Only a little bit is needed. The 1500mg turmeric caps include 10mg piperine. Just a little sprinkle.

Who has bad arthritis and how do you deal with it? My back and neck are really killing me from the weather here right now, and the temp swings REALLY get me.. aspirin helps some, but nothing really knocks the pain out.

How does one deal with it with homeopathic means?

I use a product called Relief Factor. Nationally advertised, it contains fish oil and Turmeric along with a few other things. After about two weeks of use I found significant relief. Been using it for years now.

One of those pains that just grows on ya.

I will be interested in some answers.

Try some Gabapentin, if that don't work try it with oxycodone, if that don't work try it with morphine. This is what I use every 8 hours. Except morphine is used every 12 hours. This is coming from someone that has Degenerative Disc Disease and something else but can't remember it's name. Time take another round.

There are circumstances where you have to get relief from opioids and such. But, try Turmeric, 1500 to 3000mg daily, for at least a montth. See for yourself. Google it. Most pain and illness is caused by chronic inflammation. Use what nature gave us over 5000 yrs ago.

Yeah; as much as I used to "love my opiods", in years gone by; I've "gotta side with" jerseyguy, here... Spent entirely too much time, addicted to this, that, or the other "substance".

Able Man, I hope you never need rescue from pain/inflammation. But, you could do worse than use turmeric. Listen folks. 6 yrs ago, I had a severe kidney infection. In hospital they discovered " triple A".AbdominalAortic Aneurysm.
During operation to repair they cut off renal artery to good kidney and couldnt reconnect.
Woke up week later from induced coma with a fistula, and tubes sticking out of chest. One permanently damaged kidney and dialysis 4hrs 3x week for rest of life.
Said I would neverget off dialysis. Started turmeric. One yr later released from

Btw, I'm 72 and while using turmeric, have absolutely no joint pain

I checked my big square bottle of Turmeric. I don't take the same amount as you, but I did notice on the bottle it said it had Piperine (black Pepper)

Thanks! After yr on dialysis and turmeric, kidney was able to recover sufficient to stop dialysis. It will never be perfect, and requires frequent bloodwork to be sure its ok. Drs have all said "keep it up". I dont preach this except, for example, when I see a subject like "Arthritis" comes up. Lol
Youve been told-try it-theres no downside. And its only about $12 for 90 capsules. It works.

Local Walmart supercenter. They carry 500, 1000 and 1500mg capsules. If I remember right, 500 is $8, 1000 might be $11, 1500 is either $12 or 14. Spring Valley brand. Look up on walmart website. You can order online if easier. Ive seen some walmarts, not supercenterd, that dont show all
