I’ve been taking Turmeric for about 6 years. I feel that it has helped in that my arthritis has not progressed as much as I was told it might. Turmeric, along with gym workouts and
walking. a good balanced diet and common sense is my answer. At 77 I walk around 20 miles a week.
Very nice Paul
Wow 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am in the upper 40s. Started playing tennis and it took a toll on my knees. Went to the doctor and he prescribed diclofenac. Taking four pills (1500mg each) of turmeric had better results for me than 75mg of diclofenac twice daily. I could tell my digestive system was not the same with diclofenac. Turmeric is a very powerful anti-inflammatory. It works very well for me. I have been symptom free for over eight months now.
Glad to hear it Rezi. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I use both diclofenac and turmeric for arthritis pain. But I only take 500mg turmeric (one capsule).
so how much do u take for relief. drink or eat it? pills and what mg.? and how often to vague infor to help without knowing.
@@jewelleryaddict I was taking one 500mg capsule daily at lunch time. It does not help all day but it definitely helps get me through the afternoon. It's much more natural than diclofenac which I have a prescription for.
@@InternetDude thank you, I could not tolerate that drug and many others anymore either. after you have taken so many for so long they either have bad side effects or quit working. wanted to try but had no baseline to try & start.
Turmeric for me is a life saver in my early 50's five years ago I had what I thought was a severe case of stiff neck. It turns out I was diagnosed with severe arthritis in my neck as well as two degenerative disk's. I was told to go to therapy and if that did not work take large doses of ibuprofen for the rest of my life. Well I looked up what I can take naturally and turmeric can up in almost every search. So I went to Costco and bought the Brand Youtheory and almost immediately the pain subsided not a little but 100%. Now my diagnosis has not changed medically but I can tell any on this site that I am 100 % pain free for the five years since my diagnosis. Praise God for giving man the wisdom to produce holistic forms of plants and their roots to heal our bodies of this horrific pain of arthritis.

Your information on turmeric seems correct. What makes it work better is the addition of ginger (fresh if you have it), black pepper helps to absorb the turmeric, garlic, and put it all in bone broth for a morning drink. I also add other stuff to make it more soup-like. This concoction makes my aches and pains minimal. (I am 69 years old and a triathlete by history).
Also would make a good soup Sue. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Ah yes,this is exactly how you take it!!! Good on you!
I forgot about the black pepper.
Ginger,onions,garlic in food also and don't forget apple cider vinegar.
( Btw, clove oil good for massage into joints) warm it up.( You can make your own.)
I have been taking Tumeric, Ginger, and Moringa and I have definitely had a reduction in arthritis pain. My right middle finger would cramp into a claw and I would have to straighten it out many times a day and night, after just 3 weeks of taking Moringa the cramping stopped entirely! I take a smoothy 5 mornings a week with as many anti-inflammatories as I can think of and still getting around OK at 71.
That’s cool sam. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I have been taking it for a couple of years and it definitely helps me, when I quit taking it my joints ache. I have tried going off of it a couple of times and each time the joint pain seems to return. Apple cider vinegar pills seem to have the same effect.

My Mother swears by those two things,and a good diet. As rhumati and oesteo arthritis. Stopped taking the pain meds, too hard on her tummy. That was years ago,she's never looked back. Thank God. (Only uses meds if going on a long journey,she brings them Incase.)

My doctor just prescribed it for me, but I really do not want to take that.
That's what my doctor prescribed me and it did nothing
I have psoriatic arthritis for the last 15 years, and have been taking tumeric everyday for about 10 years. Definately helps a lot with the pain side of things, first 3-4 years i was on naproxen for the pain, i could barely walk down stairs in the morning. Now on no painkillers of any kind. I feel like it's a long haul kind of thing, also have tried the more expensive curcumin varients which i found made no difference to just taking plain old tumeric. I would say tho that it is very important to take tumeric with some fat as it helps the body absorb better, even just a bit of toast with butter. 1000mg a day in caps form and 1tsp powdered form in my chick curry twice a week does the trick for me. General tips for arthritis:- Avoid processed foods, if you can't cook then learn, can be fun btw :). Stay active even if it is sore to move, i work in construction(heavy work) and i am in in more pain on my days off. Stay positive, B vitamin complex will help with this. Singapore style noodles you say, i'll have to give em a try ;)

Excellent! Among the south Asian (including ours) households turmeric is a common spice but quuite routinely used by mouth and also by warming it slightly and wrapping with some kind of bandage/cloth piece around the painful joints, even muscles. I doubt if it works except for the placebo effect.

I have been taking Turmeric Curcumin 500mg, one in the morning and one at night, for 2 1/2 years and it seems to be helping and I feel has helped keep the pain to a minimum.

30 year old male with degenerative hip issues. I’ve been taking turmeric for about 3 years. I’m allergic to NSAID pain relievers, so I use the turmeric as an anti inflammatory. Personally, I feel like it has been doing well for me. I get mine through Nature’s Sunshine online (not a sponsor, just promoting the product that works for me). I’m not a professional by any means, but I do believe that turmeric has been helping me deal with my inflammation and pain.

Hi Docs, thanks for the great videos. I developed De Quervain's Tenosynovitis a couple of years back. I realize it’s not arthritis, but after weeks of hand therapy, exercises, and wearing a custom brace the condition wasn’t resolving. I decided to try a turmeric supplement and within 2 weeks it was 80% better. It fully resolved a couple of months later, and I continue to take the supplement. So, my opinion is that it does help in certain situations 😊

I’m glad to hear this. I’ve been suffering from pretty advanced osteoarthritis for more than a decade, with particularly bad pain in my lower spine, my shoulders, and my hips. A couple of years ago, someone told me to take turmeric capsules daily to deal with the pain. For about six months, I took the recommended amount every day. I didn’t notice any effect at all on my joint pain. No reduction in pain whatsoever. No increase in the amount of time I could stand and walk. I couldn’t understand why it wasn’t working for me. This video does a good job of explaining why that is.
Some people say add black pepper for better effect. Sorry to hear about your pain

Thanks, docs, for another great video. I have friends who are often saying 'You should try tumeric for your arthritis', and I've been ignoring them for years. Now I can say that I've heard from VERY reputable sources that it's not really going to do anything. When they ask who, I'll point them to your videos. Thanks! On a side note, I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem, but the difference in volume between you two is quite noticeable to me. Dr Weening is so much louder, and if I lower his volume I can't hear Dr Zalzal. Like I said, it might just be me, but I was just wondering about it. 🙂
Hi Trish. Ha. It is because Dr Weening is a loud talker! Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Well golly Trish, it would not hurt to try turmeric. It's not that expensive.
I have the same problem with the volume difference. It is not insignificant.

Thanks, guys for another great video. I am 57 and was diagnosed by a rheumatologist with mild psoriatic arthritis several years ago. It affects only a few joints in my right hand and right foot and ankle. I was taking about 400mg of ibuprofen 4-times daily and that seemed to be doing an okay job to minimize the pain. But I didn't like taking that much ibuprofen. After consulting with my GP and the Pharmacist, I decided to switch out the middle two ibuprofen doses with 2,250 mg of Turmeric Curcumin which is 500 mg of curcumin. I feel that the pain management has been about the same as it was with the ibuprofen alone. I noticed when I temporarily stopped taking pain relievers before my COVID vaccination, the pain increased quite a bit and it made walking difficult. I have also tried reducing the dosages to find what minimum works for me and it seems that when I reduce the from what I indicated above my pain increases. So, for me, it seems to be helpful.
Hi SPR3864. Thank you for taking the time to share your regimen. Glad it is working for you. All the best. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
SPR, the reason Curcumin helped your arthritis is because it's a chelator of free copper. Many people are born with partial defects in the ATP7B copper binding gene, which causes toxic free or unbound copper to accumulate in the body. The joints are one of the secondary copper storage areas. If the body is storing copper bound to ceruloplasmin, then it's non toxic, but when it starts storing the unbound copper is when you have problems. The free copper test code at the lab corp I use in Oklahoma is 279071. The test # in your state might differ, but the test is called "direct measuremnt of free copper". If your free copper is high zinc or TM can be used to lower it. TM is short for ammonium tetrathiomolybdate. TM can bring copper to a non toxic state in 2 weeks and decopper you in 8 weeks, whereas high dose zinc takes 9-12 to get copper to non toxic levels and 2 to 3 years to normalize it. Zinc must be taken on an empty stomach one hour before or two hours after meals because food binds it up and renders it inactive. It's a primer for metallothionein protein in the intestinal cells that will absorb the copper. Every 8 days your intestinal cells turnover and new ones are made, and the old ones laden with copper and metallothionein go out the stool, then the process starts over again. Taking anti inflammatories for arthritis is just treating the symptoms of the problem and not dealing with the cause of it. Get the free copper down and you'll correct the problem.
Take moringa powder. Please drink and take 1 tsp. of moringa powder for 1 week then 2 tsp. after 2nd weeks for absorption of nutrients in your body and cleaned the arteries together with morning or noontime sunshine for at least 30 minutes of vitamin d3 and that is the only effective proven natural solution for stroke patient and can cure 300 kinds of illness including cancer and it was already a scientific study since ancient times. IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST PLEASE HEAL US.
Great video, Docs. I've read that tumeric works synergistically with black pepper much in the same way that vitamin C works with iron: it helps with absorption. Is this true, clinically speaking? (As an aside, I ate tumeric, daily, for over a decade with various dishes; it didn't prevent the osteoarthritis that developed in my right hip. What I've found best aids with joint pain management is keeping active with lots of walking, exercising, stretching, and a good diet that's not so inflammatory based.) Best, J.

Happy Thanksgiving to you both! I have been taking turmeric for two years on advice of my medical team after getting stem cell therapy. They didn't want me using any OTC drugs. I have to admit at first I thought that it was helping but not so much now. I have had cortisone shots, ortho-visc series of shots (4) and PRP. Out of everything I think the PRP was the best although I think the stem cell ($$$) gave my knee more stability. My knee is still crap (medical term :) but I keep moving along, try to walk a lot and stay clear of stairs. Really don't want a knee replacement but who knows. Trying to stay young at 68 by enjoying life and all the blips that seem to come up. Always a better day ahead. Thanks for all you do, sure would love a video on stem cell and see what you both think of it!!
After trying all that you have done including stem cells, I had to bite the bullet at age 70-71 and get knee replacements on both knees. You will know when it is time for you to do the same.
Knee replacement changed my life -gave it back to me -Now active with no pain and don’t have to avoid anything 👍🏻🤩🦵🏻

Hi Kathleen, just wanted to share some info I was given re Ibuprofen. I took Ibuprofen & Zapain, (co-codamol), for about 3 years. In 2017 I was hoping to take part in a clinical trial for arthritis & had to have various tests beforehand to ensure I was suitable in all areas. The blood tests advised I had slight damage to my kidneys & liver which I was told was due to taking Ibuprofen on a regular basis. I now rarely take Ibuprofen & if I do always have a couple of biscuits at the same as I was told by the Rheumatologist to never take Ibuprofen on an empty stomach. Take care & look after yourself x

It won't make your joints better, but it will help inflammation and pain.
I was told about ginger by my gastroenterologist, and later found out combined with turmeric it helped with my chronic pain and inflammation significantly. I was skeptical it truly helped, but have had where I didn't take it for a day or 4 and found I was in a LOT of pain, reminiscent of prior painful days. It doesn't get rid of all of it, but it does take a chronic level 6-8 in pain down to 3-5, which is significant if you live with it daily.
Mainly because I can't take NSAIDs

For Turmeric to be effective you must use fresh ground pepper. Also, there are varieties of Turmeric - and using FRESH ground or cut turmeric vs processed powder you also have a largely varied reaction. Cinnamon is much the same - you have to have the right family of turmeric with the other components to activate the anti-inflammatory reactions.

@@Katkit537 My mom uses Spring Valley brand turmeric with Piperine extract and her knee joint pain was extremely debilitating. After 2 weeks, 99% of the pain is gone she says. There's no way that's a placebo effect. She can't tolerate those toxic meds the doctor gave her. Walmart sells this brand, its the best and also cheapest and readily available anywhere in the country. Studies have shown that bioavailability rises from 2% to 40% with the pepper extract (piperine).

Thank you both, excellent video as always! I started taking Turmeric years ago specifically for my arthritis. I read about it in a few health mags & also off a couple of arthritis websites. It's advertised alot over here in Britain now as an almost miracle supplement for all sorts of conditions. Even MDS which my hubby has.
I don't know if it helped me but I don't know what I would be like without taking it. The only time I had to stop taking it was when I was having my knee replacements done as it can interfere with inflammation or anaesthetic levels readouts? Can't remember which! I also started to use a capsicum rub on my knees which worked well. But BIG warning do not use before putting braces on your knees. My knees started to cook up to boiling point!! I had to keep splashing cold water on them to cool them down! Can laugh about it now but wasn't funny at the time!!! Be warned ⚠️

I enjoy your videos. 😃 I had been taking NSAIDS at least twice a day for close to 30 years. Fortunately, my kidney & liver values have been very good. Around 3 years ago, I stopped taking the NSAIDS and started taking turmeric. I had a couple of very painful months until it kicked in. A year later, my NP advised me to restart the NSAIDS due to a severe flare up of an old back injury. I had to quit physical therapy this last summer because the joint pain was unbearable and restarted the turmeric 1500mg twice a day. Immediately, the pain abated with virtually no recurrence. I worked in Critical Care for over 45 years, so I understand your stance. I don’t care if it’s a placebo effect or not, it works for me. I also take flaxseed oil capsules for my cholesterol. One can tell by my labs whether I’ve been taking it or not.

definitely need a good study - totally agree. and anything that makes a person feel better and it is not a danger to their health, is worth while. since my knees cannot be fixed, it is one of my only recourses. i have had cellulitis 5 times - not a candidate for surgery. turmeric, glucosamine and flax seed oil
Nice Margie. Sorry to hear about the cellulitis. Thanks for watching and subscribing

I’m 6’3 and just survived working 28 hour week of just standing all shifts, now I got 38 hours and I’m not sure if my ankles/knees can handle it :(
You dudes should try it and then report back if it helped you. Mills methods of scientific testability. Most of us can’t use it anyway, just try it

Amazing video docs, just wondering what types of spices are really good for arthritis and joint pain besides turmeric?
Hi Alida. That is where the evidence is. Some people feel that adding black pepper can help. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I have neuralgia on my right face and neck from a pinched nerve. I take no prescription to manage it, and this definitely helped. Studies have also shown it can increase blood flow or thin blood. So my theory is in addition to possible anti inflammatory from cucimoids, it might be helping by also increasing blood flow to the inflamed area which increase blood flow speeds healing.
That’s awesome. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Ayurveda medicine too recommends turmeric to cure joint pains thankyouvery muchfor your valuable information
Very welcome Nelli. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Excellent discussion. I couldn't agree more with your view that turmeric causes no harm, but probably does not provide much if any anti-inflammatory relief. I have used the same logic when speaking with our patients about the use of probiotics. Thank you for the info. I look forward to future episodes. Dr. Jim Waller
Thanks Dr Jim. We are actually going to review the literature on probiotics and do a video on that topic with one of our local gastroenterologists. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I have an old ACL injury that was repaired but still bugs me. I went through a period of soreness and stiffness in the injured knee that was getting really debilitating. I started supplementing with turmeric and fish oil, and added backwards treadmill walking to my exercise routine. Over the next couple weeks, my knee greatly improved, and was much less sore and stiff. So, I can't say for sure that it was the turmeric, but I'm pretty happy that I started taking it.
I don’t take it for an anti inflammatory but it tastes great in my tofu scramble and my lemon tea. Thanks for another great post.
Nice S. thanks for watching and subscribing
I have heard that if you take turmeric with black pepper the pepper kicks it up a few notches. Here in NZ a few years ago a pharmacist advocated taking turmeric, Sulphur, devils claw and cayenne pepper together for joint pain.
Thanks for sharing James. Sounds like it wound be a full time job taking all those supplements. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Tumeric takes time to work. It has to build up in the body. It doesn't work right away like asprin etc. Can you agree with that?
Hi Northern Girl. The people that sell it say 8-12 weeks but doesn’t that seem convenient to keep you taking it? We could not find any convincing studies that it reliably worked. Worth a try maybe. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Aspirin has a rapid onset of action and assists. Turmeric is a mere placebo.
I have been taking tumeric for two years daily and the pain I had while taking opiates is GONE!!!
@@NorthernWoman4587 I have been a medical practitioner for fifty years. The scientific method of studying the benefits and adverse effects of medications has only been standard over the past fifty years too. No matter how well research is done, certainty in its conclusions remains unattainable. That is the beauty of the process, there is always room for improvement. I don’t doubt your statement and am pleased for your improvements. Have you had a trial of ceasing the turmeric for three or four weeks to see if you still require it? Does returning to treatment then produce the benefits again? Reading research that shows no benefit in reasonably conducted trials does not inspire me to get behind it. It’s the same with Cannabis oil, I have yet to find a study that uses the scientific method that shows any benefit for true pain control. Opiates are not good treatment for chronic pain.
In any case, thanks for your comment, and good luck.
@@kimlowe705 yes I did stop it for a week one time and the pain did come back. After starting again the pain reduced and eventually ceased. I have DDD and spondylolethis and osteoarthritis. . I also use CBD oil daily .25 mg.
Since you said it was in Indian meals , I’ve been eating curry’s 3 times a day now I’ve ballooned to 400 lbs and me knees are killing me lol , thanks guys 👍🏴🙏

You guys are awesome. My sister is convinced turmeric is a cure-all. It is awesome in chicken soup and makes your pee look fluorescent.
To me black pepper and red pepper flakes are healthier but whatever.

Last year I could barely walk because my leg joints hurt so much. My son told me to take turmeric. I went to the nutrition store and they had a huge poster for a brand with a massive amount of curcumin, and I wound up buying that. It was like a miracle drug! (I can’t take Tylenol or Motrin, so I can’t compare. They certainly might be just as effective but the side effects are so toxic.) What I wound up doing a few months later was eliminating as much sugar from my diet as I could and that really eliminated the root cause of my joint pain so I stopped taking the expensive curcumin pills.
Very nice! Thanks for watching and subscribing

Hi Bobby. Don’t know much about it. Harvard has a good article on it and were quick to say there was little to no evidence to support it. The few studies done has very few patients and were followed for a short time. Proceed with caution. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Question. Does turmeric affect bleeding time, for those on anticoagulant therapy or ASA therapy?
Hi Teresa. It certainly can have anticoagulant effects and should be discussed with your doctor if you are taking prescription medication like blood thinners. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Cheers doc great info
Any time!
Thanks for sharing a wide range of topics. Actually my sister who lives in Sweden is highly convinced it works as a miracle for arthrosis, but she emphasises that it MUST be mixed with pepper to make it active/work. Any truth on this. Tks. again for your insight.
Very welcome and yes the pepper folks feel quite strongly about this. Thanks for watching and subscribing

I started using turmeric supplement some 3 years ago, 20 drops with slightly warm milk in the morning. It had a very positive effect in keeping my lungs clean against phlegm. Whilst i do have back and neck problems it did not improve these conditions.
Interesting Rahul. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I've taken Liposomal Curcumin for inflammation/pain and it seems to take the edge off of the pain from arthritis. I've done my own experiments, a couple of months on and off and have found it does work. BUT, I have also found that certain brands makes a huge difference. There's one by Manna, that works pretty good, but is quite expensive. By contrast there is a lessor expensive one by 2by4, and it is both less expensive and also doesn't work as well. Either one won't eliminate inflammation or pain from arthritis, but does help a little. And both taste kinda like apricots. I've taken both straight - but in the directions they both say you can mix it in with food.

very interested in Dr Wenning talking about he eats plant based diet. i would like to try. can you give me some ideas, how to start, etc. thx
Hi H C. Both doctors eat a majority plant based diet but Dr Zalzal does like his chicken wings. Best advice is to start slowly. Gradually reduce consumption of meat and dairy. Add more whole foods that are plants. Don’t be afraid of carbs. Stick to whole grains so no white bread rice or pasta. Use lots of spices. There are tonnes is helpful RUclips cooks.

In order for turmeric to work you have to add peperine and a fat.
For me I have been taking it for three years. It has helped with my skin very smooth, pain and inflammation. Work's for me. Have seen pharmacist interviewed tumeric as an anoglesic.

Michal Greger MD recommends combining turmeric with black pepper. The pepper potentiates the anti inflammatory effect of turmeric
I love these Doctors
Thank you so much Sandy!! Thanks for watching and subscribing
You mentioned that it seems to lower the concentrations of certain anti-inflammatories. Are there negative consequences associated with that effect over the long term? This isn't being brought up in an attempt to find a negative. It's something I'd like to know about before starting to take tumeric pills.
Hi SE. Fair question. The short answer is no. It will not prevent your body's ability to respond to stress but will help reduce baseline inflammation. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.

Perhaps it is a placebo effect however, I was dealing with a constantly aching knee and elbow. About 2 years ago I found a concoction on youtube using Tumeric and I thought I have nothing to lose so I gave it a go. Well, 2 years later of taking it every morning I'm back
running and lifting weights with absolutely no pain. If you want to give it a go - and it does taste good!

Yes it does work! I was told by a rheumatologist several years ago to use it, and it does work. I take a supplement twice a day
I served 28 yeas in the military and was over-prescribed ibuprofen to treat just about everything. I now have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stage 3a. I can no longer take NSAIDs but have arthritis. He recommended “Organic Arthritis” which has turmeric and other natural ingredients in a pill form. Has worked very well for me, especially if I take it twice daily and let it build up in my blood. Not quite the same as being sore and taking a Motrin, but it does work.
Thanks for your service TJ. Glad you have found something to work. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I use freshly grated turmeric root in my cooking. I also use powdered turmeric sometimes. Let me say that, in terms of pain and inflammation management, I find the results inconclusive. I think that it does do some good, but it's not a huge effect for me. That being said, I am still to pinpoint what makes my arthritis worse.
Yes Allen it can be tricky. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I have been using Tumeric for over a year. I take 1500 ml of liquid in the morining and 500 ml pill at night. It has helped with the swelling and pain. Also this is the first time my ankles have not swelled to the point where it looks like I have no ankles. I also take collegen with peptides daily. My orthopedic Doc said there is no proof that this helps as there is nothing that will make cartiledge grow back. I had stopped taking the collegen and noticed a significant change in my pain. Started taking the supplement again, and it has been better. Is it a mental thing? Who knows but it is working. I also do get shots every 3 months. I used to get the gel shot, but found it didn't work as well as the steroids. Thanks for what you two do.
Hi Robyn. We would agree that it won’t grow cartilage but some people do get symptom relief so press on! Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
My understanding is that Tumeric in non-converted form (non-curcumin) cannot be well absorbed by the body. I take Theracurmin, which is a brand of curcumin, and have noticed a major improvement in digestive tract inflammation. I’ve stopped taking it, as a test, and the inflammation returned quickly. So, in that specific case, it works wonders for me.
Glad it helps you Mark. Thanks for watching and subscribing
