turmeric protocol

[brightlotusmoon]

I've been following a sort of turmeric protocol. I mean, researching, reading, and of course experimenting. Swanson Vitamins had a huge sale on pure turmeric capsules, so I bought enough to last several months. Been taking a gram and a half each day, except weekends. Month one is done. Overall inflammation is absolutely down, joint discomfort is significantly lessened. Muscle pain is wonderfully reduced. General allergy symptoms have been reduced. Digestion is better, immune system is stronger. In general, I feel quite good. I don't expect miracles, I don't expect to be cured at all, I don't expect anything really. But this has been a lovely development. Also, my skin has been clearing up. Also, I've discovered that compounds in turmeric help it act as an anti-fungal, contraceptive, anti-convulsant, antispasmodic, asthma reliever, and PMS-relieving.

I am watching one of my favorite two-part episodes of any television program: Doctor Who's "Silence In The Library" and "Forest Of The Dead." My desire to work in a library setting again is so strong it almost hurts, because right now there doesn't seem to be any open library jobs in the area.

I have a warning sign at my library desk for the evil shadow creatures whose name I can't recall at the moment. It amuses me, even though no one gets it.

Vashta Nerada!

When someone does get it, you'll have to let me know.

Turmeric has been helping me, too, along with boswellia and quercitin, bromelain, green lipped mussel, proteolytic enzymes, etc... and now I'm following (day 4) this anti inflammation eating regimen that I'm excited about.

I'm so glad for you that you're feeling better and getting relief!

Green lipped mussel, that's one I haven't heard!

OMG seriously? Turmeric does all that? *makes plans to put curry on absolutely everything in the future*

Yeah, they're just now discovering how awesome turmeric is. Sometimes I prefer natural remedies to stay under the radar, but I like how scientists and doctors are really looking at spices.
