One more question, how many mg's of boswellia do users usually intake a day?

I've been taking about 500 to 600mg 3 times a day, which at 65% acids = about 390mg Boswellic acids, whether this is the right thing to do or not I dunno but so far it hasn't killed me.

You could also try juicing a fairly small chunk of cabbage with like 3 carrots, and eating saurkraut. It is said to lower inflammation in the colon and avoid wheat if possible.

AKB how is the tumeric going? I purchased it from an Indian food store last week and have been taking about 2 tablespoons 3 times a day mixed with resistant starch. I seem to be getting much better. Anyone else have any info on their tumeric consumption?

i take tumeric.
natures sunshine makes it in capsule with the actual tumeric powder. nothing else but straight up tumeric.
no "pills' so the whole capsule gets to your guts or whereever it goes.

only take one a day from my bottles instructions.
had good response from it.
helped me into remission last time i believe.
and i think it is speeding the recovery of this one as i am getting better quicker than a few years ago when i didnt take tumeric at all.

Hi Dantha-- still going strong on the turmeric. It is the essential UC supplement, in my book. Glad to hear you're also doing well with it!

Tumeric sounds like a cheap and easy to try remedy, I think I may give it a whirl. Worse comes to worst and...well, basically nothing! How would you recommend eating the tumeric?

Why do they say not to take tumeric if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, I'm sure people still eat curry while they are pregnant, anyone know?

I've only been taking one pill a day, no wonder it hasn't helped...

Thanks.

I've had excellent response to turmeric (fresh root) as was suggested by another member....worked from Day 1, also started Mezavent (single dose) the same day..and it seems like I am in remission now (been 3 weeks now).

Hello Everyone,

 Hi qazwsx12, Perhaps you need to give it a little more time. Herbs can often take up to a month before noticing any improvement. I have been taking Curamin (natural cox 2 inhibiter), this brand has worked best for me, for two years now and when I think it isn't working I need only go off it to find out different. I take it for my joint pain. I must admit, however, I was diagnosed with collagenous colitis recently, while on it. I may need to step up my program. As far as I know, there are no side effects to taking  turmeric. I use use turmeric often and sometimes daily in my curries, curry chicken, tuna fish, chicken or turkey soups, etc. Being an anti-inflammatory, it  has helped my joint pain tremendously and I have CTD also. It can't hurt and it tastes nutty and I love it for many reasons.

I need to study up on some of the other herbs available as well. I'm so thankful to have found this forum.

Wishing everyone WELL. Holly
