Tumeric for inflammation pain?

[Guest guest]

An Indian lady who is an MD/NMD I work with told me to take a

tablespoon of tumeric a day (mixed with juice) for RA inflammation and

pain. This is what she prescribeds to all her chronic pain folks. Has

anyone heard of this or tried this? It sounds too good to be true.

I got the actual RA diagnosis today, btw. My arms are killing me. I

actually had to go to the ER yesterday because of the pain. They

didn't know what to do with me at the ER! The doctor there said he

didn't " believe in Rhuematoid Arthritis " and thought I was just looking

for attention. My rheumy today was furious about this and promised to

put in a call, but it's over and done now. I'm depressed because I

went through this when I was diagnosed with Hashimotos hyperthyroid.

Now I have another disease that many in medical field find suspicious.

Nothing suspicious with any of these autoimmune diseases. I'm also

Hypothyroid and went through that a year ago. What's suspicious is

the ER doctor you had to put up with. Don't let his ignorance get

you down.

As for the Tumeric, I work with many Asians, both from India and

Pakistan and asked a couple about the remedy. Basically, if you find

relief, good, but don't expect it. Best to follow western medicine

until you get things under control. Anything like the Tumeric

suggestion may help a little at best with the symptoms but will do

nothing for the disease progression.

Hang in there.
