CHEESE!!!!!.............................
I carry tumeric in my purse. Good for what ails ya, as my dad used to say.
The spice must flow.
A dash or two of turmeric and a handful of raisons mixed in with that morning oatmeal = healthy and tasty.
A slew of medical research supports Turmeric (Curcumin). See here:

Same goes for a shot of Jack Daniels!.................
Just now having a severe attack of gout in my knee. Haven’t had one in four or five years. Alleve effect was marginal. I take one turmeric capsule as a supplement. Yesterday I took three, on morning, afternoon, evening. Today pain is decreased, swelling and inflammation decreased as well.
You can also pop a couple of Tumeric pills after a night of drinking and wake up without a hangover.
RE: I take one turmeric capsule as a supplement. Yesterday I took three, on morning, afternoon, evening. Today pain is decreased, swelling and inflammation decreased as well.
Very good testimony. May I ask what dosage ( how many grams or milligrams ) of turmeric ( or is it curcumin ) you take to alleviate the pain?
How about supplements, how many mg. is one supplement? Thanks.
But how much of it do you need to eat for true health benefits, and how often? A few grams a day, or a couple of pounds a week? Like garlic, it goes with a lot of things but not with everything.
Reputedly good for motion sickness too.
Some folks need to be a bit careful with tumeric (curcumin). If one is on some blood pressure medications, it can magnify the effects of the prescription medicine. So blood pressure should be monitored if tumeric is added (or consult a physician or pharmacist.) It can also slow blood clotting, so it is even more important for those on anti-clotting medications or with clotting disorders to exercise extreme care.
So the idiot that says “its (sic) super safe” is grossly negligent. It can be beneficial to many people, but never trust the snake oil salesmen of the supplement world.
OK, I read the rest. One gram a day is a suggested dosage. What’s that in real measurements? Apparently that is a volume measurement, while ounces are weight measurements. How many grams of turmeric in a teaspoon?
I just weighed a teaspoon of powdered turmeric and got 3.3 grams.
The head nutrionist of the heart hospital around me speaks very high of tumeric.
Once a month, usually, there is a healthy cooking class. It has changed a lot of my views on food and am better for them.
While not having any adverse effect on me in the spice (tumeric) form in recipes, the active ingredient curcumin, when taken in concentrated capsule form, gave me severe .. and I do mean SEVERE .. gastric and intestinal problems for a period of several days. Vomiting, intense headaches and light sensitivity, severe stomach and intestinal cramps, and violent diarrhea were the result of my taking curcumin capsules as directed. It took three days to get into my system and six days to get it out ...
I have been daily dosing with the 95% curcumin for years. It makes a rapid and very noticeable difference in my arthritis. Turmeric is the main active ingredient in Curry but you would have to eat a bucket of curry to do any medicinal good. Likewise 95% curcumin is the active portion of Turmeric which is only 1-3 or so %. I don’t take the silly capsules. I buy the stuff in bulk and put it on my food, about half a tsp per day with pepper.
Thanks! I’ll try 1/2 teaspoon; close enough for starters.
