Strike that, they are NOT related. Nor do they taste anything alike:

I am a woosie.

KV is givin’ me a hard time, he can do it awake too.
I woke up last time during and not likin’ that poking around internally.
re: Gout
Just an FYI, a good friend of mine gets gout from time to time, and swears that getting a jar of maraschino cherries, drinking the juice and then eating the cherries gives some pretty quick relief.
Y'caught me. I'd heard this last year, so I skimmed and skipped. Last year's item didn't make clear the local impact.
Long story short he swallows allot of air at times and it causes a pseudo bowel block.
His Gastroenteroligist came up with a non surg fix at home.
1/2c of Molasses
1/2c milk
warm the 2 in the micro (the milk is the mixer).
The molasses properties will pull everything from your gut.
Not a thing that happens often but a home health choice for sure.
Variety is the Spice to life.
Too much of any one thing not good.
Everything in moderation. Unless it’s “fill in blank”... : )
Cumin and curcumin are two totally different spices.
Having an attack of Gout is right up there with an attack of diverticulitis in the pain dept.
Are you actually on a public forum claiming that people should only reply to you if you replied to them? Sheese I was chiming in ....
If that is true, shouldn’t there be a far lower incidence of Alzheimer’s in countries where turmeric is a popular spice?
Read the article:
“In countries where people consume a lot of [turmeric], there’s a very low incidence of Alzheimer’s disease,” emphasized Kilham. “In India and Southeast Asia, it’s a rare disease. And [in the U.S.] it’s very, very common.”
Some people use cherry extract, some use celery extract, some use Sodium Bicarbonate, but believe me those are like a BB compared to a 45 caliber of the pharmaceuticals. Actually, the best anti-acute-gout-attack (as opposed to attack prevention) drug is colchicine, derived from the plant autumn crocus, but is extremely toxic and a relatively small overdose can kill. I keep those locked up.
I have a supply of Knudsons Black cherry juice Pure.
Drink shots of it with that first tinge and I mean first little tinge of a gout attack and get those uric acid levels back down.
I will say that it works (I will take an advil if it comes on full blown) in a 3-4 day therapy just as well as what the doc gives.
Trick is catching it early before you are in extreme swelling and pain.
It is painful enough that the first tinge (feels like a joint popping with discomfort) is reconizable.
I can go bouncing/running around the property playing with the dogs and just the uneven twisting can set off an attack if my uric acid level and hydration is off.
Opps and important, it is givin in as an enema.
Used to be able to get disposable enema bags but for some reason they took them off the market.
I would love to have the type they use in the xray dept.
It is a gallon with a huge applicator so you can administer the product and it all with bowel contents returns back to the bag for disposal.
Think non walkers for the practicality of the gallon all in one bag.

LOL You keep them locked up?
(I am assuming kids in the home not an angry spouse)
Perhaps they’re confusing curry with curcumin, which is mentioned in the article.
