Curamin worked for me!

My name is Brian and I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis almost three years ago when I was 17. I tried all the medications my doctors subscribed such as Asacol, Colazol, Mesalamine and hydrocortisone enemas. I saw a Naturopath and an Ayurvedic doctor. I took a lot of different vitamins, herbs, etc. Nothing really seemed to work except prednisone. Then I went on Mercapturine (6mp) and I started to do better after being on it for the 6-month start up period. However, I still had some relapses and had to go back on prednisone. Then I found CURAMIN. I had just started another relapse and my doctor again told me to go on prednisone until my UC was under control. I did not want to go back on prednisone again since there are so many side effects. Then I heard about Curamin and decided to try it. Within a few days I was feeling better and was able to stay off prednisone. Each day I seemed to get better and better. I had bleeding for about six months prior to taking Curamin and even that started to get better after a few weeks. Now after 6 weeks, I don’t have any more bleeding and hardly any cramping. The only thing it hasn’t helped is my backaches, which I have learned sometimes goes hand in hand with UC but it doesn’t always respond to UC medications. I will continue to look for answers to this issue. I would recommend Curamin to anyone who has UC based on my results. I don’t know if it will help people with Crohns or not but it is worth a try. I am still taking 6mp along with Curamin but hope to be able to taper off it.

A few things to note before taking Curamin:

1 Individuals with the rare metabolic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) need to avoid phenylalanine, which is an ingredient in Curamin.
2 Not recommended for persons taking anti-depressants, MAO inhibiters, or prescriptions stimulants.
3 Consult with doctor if taking prescription medications, particularly blood thinners and blood pressure medication.
4 Don’t’ take with ibuprofen (Advil, etc.).

NOTE: Phenylalanine can sometimes actually work as well as an anti-depressant in some people.

Of course you should always talk to your doctor before trying anything.

The ingredients in Curamin are as follows:

Curamin and curcuminoids (ingredient in the spice turmeric) This ingredient is an anti-inflammatory.

Boswellia (another herb)

dl-phenylalanine (a mixture of the D and L forms of phenylalanine, amino acid)

nattokinase (an enzyme extracted from traditional Japanese fermented soy “cheese” called natto)

Go to the Curamin web site for more information. The web address is www.curamin.com.

I hope everyone who tries Curamin has fantastic results like me. I am in remission. I feel great! I am now exercising and going everywhere I want again. I feel free of UC and healthy and happy again. I would love to hear from anyone else who has tried Curamin. Please let me know how it worked for you.

Eva Lou, I wondered that myself. Because I read about natural anti-inflammatories and I have even taken some in the past with good results for my Uc but I can't take NSAIDs. I'm thinking that it could have something to do with the forumulations of the man made stuff as opposed to natural? I know that the natural stuff isn't as strong as man made and it can take longer to see results so maybe the man made stuff is stronger which in turn can aggravate our UC?

I think it's better to simply take turmeric instead of wasting money on the expensive CURAMIN

Curamin actually has a specific and highly bioactive type of cuminoid extract, which translates into greater potency than other cuminoid or curcumin products out there. There is a whole family of cuminoids out there, but curcumin has isolated a cuminoid that is more powerful than the regular curcuminoids that other brands use. It is definitely the best curcumin product out there demonstrating potent anti-inflammatory activity.

How did it go with the curamin, Peety?

Thanks for the info.

Curamin contains:

curcumin - found in turmeric - anti-inflammatory
curcuminoids - derivatives of curcumin - anti-inflammatory
phenylananine - is an amino acid that has an anti-depressant effect
Boswellia - is an anti-inflammatory
Nattokinase - is an enzyme that may prevent heart disease

I can see why Curamin helped you. Turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory. It works for me too. Boswellia is also an anti-inflammatory. I didn't notice any difference when I tried Boswellia though. If I get another flareup (hopefully not), I'll try Boswellia again.

It seems like we have another saleman trying to market his product

I have been taking fresh turmeric for years, and have been suggesting this to everybody out here. It is an ancient cure for most of the disorders, as ancient as the civilisation. I have also tried Boswelia (Sallaki), which is very helpful. Peety, you may try it out. I am sure it would help.

In so far as backache is concered, one can boil milk with turmeric and have it. The backache would vanish in a couple of days. It is very good for any kind of bodyache or internal injuries.

I usually notice the effects right away, but that's just me. Others aren't as lucky.

I don't know how much turmeric is in Curamin in comparison to just eating curries, which has turmeric in it, or in cooking a cup of rice with about a tablespoon of turmeric and a tablespoon of butter in it. But if you really don't like turmeric, then Curamin supplements are worth a try.

Sara14,
I am currently taking Curamin and within a few days I noticed a difference with my UC. Mainly less urgency and fewer runs to the bathroom. Conventional medications do not help me so I am thankful that I have found relief in this supplement.

I do not have UC , but this popped up on search for natural anti-inflammatory for my sciatica condition in the back.  I have tried the medros prednisone dose pack, but that really tears up my GI tract and doesn't provide long term resolution.  Any ideas or experience out there?

any updates on this topic?

subdued--
I noticed in one post a warning of taking the curacumin if you take anti-depressants, but then I noticed Lexapro listed on your signature. Do you take both? If so, is there a problem? Did you check with your dr first? I'm considering trying the curacumin, but am on Sertraline (generic Zoloft 50mg/d).
Thhanks.
