Turmeric

That's really interesting Vinny - thank you for sharing! I don't have any diagnosis for anythig, and the more active I am, the less aches and pains I have, but it wouldn't hurt to take something like that.

I don't like the taste of it either.

I have never tried turmeric as a painkiller but do use garlic and honey which I find works with osteoarthritis which I have in my shoulders and hands

How do you administer it?

My husband has tried turmeric twice now for his osteoarthritis along with every lotion, potion, tablet and gadget. It really upset his stomach though on both occasions. He hasn't heard of "garlic and honey" helping though.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you with an answer to your question I still don't know how to find my way around here
Crush garlic cloves into a jar then cover the garlic with pure honey then fit a lid to the jar and release the pressure that will build up every day the garlic is supposed to be weighed down so that it's completely covered but I have found that if you turn the jar upside down and leave sitting that way for a while works just as well, let it foment for a week at the least then start taking a teaspoon every morning on an empty stomach

Thanks Vinny!
I've  ordered 500mg Turmeric from Lloyds http://www.lloydspharmacy.com/en/nu-u-nu...5-capsules
Ordered 2 for free P&P and I'll be sharing.

Ordered 9/6 and they arrived a few days later - maybe 12/6. Started taking them straight away.
No ill effects from the turmeric . 

I didn't have any real problems anyway - just the occasional twinges, so I'm taking it as a preventative, rather than a cure. If it keeps me mobile, I'll be happy.

Thanks for information i will give it a try

According to your stats veggie you should have been taking it for a fortnight? Some say results after 2 weeks but others a month. Have you noticed any improvement yet?

Haven't noticed any difference but I don't have any real mobility problems anyway. I'd like to keep it that way.
