Im wondering if this is regularly used by many folks, having seen it rehashed recently on the curcumin thread. Doing a search I see Durango Kid had good results within 3 days of taking it a few years ago.. DK, is this still the case, or in other words, was it helpful for long?

Having some tonight with rice.

I started using it just since yesterday.

because it's only part of my current arsenal, i can't say whether it's helping or not - i know it's not hurting because i couldn't be doing any better -

therein lies the problem of doing too many things at once and having success - is it all of them combined or is it one specific thing - either way, it's too darn scary to try and figure it out because the risk of going backward is too high -

so for right now, i just keep doing what i'm doing -

i do believe there is too much positive data to ignore it's potential - plus i like the flavor :-)

I try my best to do one thing at a time. If it shows improvement I stick with it and then add other treatments. If it doesn't then it's gone and I move on to another option.

I take it in capsule form. Works good.

Also, this is a good herb for pets with arthritis/muscle pain.

I find the greatest benefit from an ginger-turmeric tea. I used circumin tablets and could not tell if they gave much benefit over and above the ginger root tablets.

For inflammation distal form the GI trac, bio availability is an issue and some pepper is recommended. I think the action is more topical in the GI trac and I did not worry to much about bio availability. Maybe I should have.

I would say it can help with some inflammation, but it will not stop most flares in their tracks. It might be good during remission to help maintain. I think it just helps a bit during a flare. Other's results may vary.

I used turmeric which I added to rice for several years.  I have recently switched to curcumin caplets.  When I was in a bad flare I did notice improvment.  Now I just take it to be on the safe side.  Apparently it has great anti-inflamatory properties.
