Do you have a chronic illness? If so what?

@RodneyTrotter1 Would you share how? My mom has it bad 😞

@MellyMel22 Standard turmeric used for cooking, one teaspoon dissolved in a glass of water with freshly gound black pepper. It has to be taken immediately before breakfast, not on a full stomach.
I started to notice results after a few weeks, it's now been 18 months and i have very little pain at all, especially in my hips which were the main problem.

You can buy turmeric capsules from health food shops but there's no need, they're expensive and standard turmeric works the same.

@RodneyTrotter1 Maybe I'll give turmeric another try. How much do you take? I was having good results with CBD but I began having a reaction and I feel better now without it.

@hunkalove Just a teaspoon in water every morning as soon as i get up, it definitely works. Good luck 👍🏼

@RodneyTrotter1 I just sprinkled it in my coffee. A teaspoon a day is going to be expensive.

@RodneyTrotter1 Thank you so much. I’ll tell her and I might try it and see if it helps my nerve pain too.

@RodneyTrotter1 powdered or fresh?

@CoolUsername Just the standard powdered version

@hunkalove It's roughly one and a half USD here for a small jar, which lasts about two weeks

@hunkalove maybe look for a spice store or an Asian food store. Maybe even online - you can buy it by the kilo/pound.

I often have it in a cup-a-soup with some black pepper.

Black pepper makes it work better.

@OogieBoogie you have to be careful adding black pepper. it can make the curcumin toxic. if you look it up all the cases of liver damage from turmeric were when taken mixed with black pepper

@Penny thank you so much for telling me that.
Ill recheck the proper dosage WITH pepper.


Again ...thankyou 🤗

@OogieBoogie I've been taking it with black pepper since a few nights ago when we discussed your fast, holding you responsible when it kills me!
In other news. fresh air may contain bacteria...

@RodneyTrotter1🤣
Gee.....thanks.


i must admit ive been prolly dosing too high, but then i don't have it every day .

But after @Penny 's input, ill take it back to about a quarter tsp.

I love my black pepper tho....i have it on everything.


Shit....i better check if you can overdose on black pepper now😩

@OogieBoogie I'll have a good read up on it tomorrow, just finished work and cracked a beer open so it's chill time now..

Same here with black pepper, I need to do some research!

@RodneyTrotter1 just a quick google said ' regular culinary ammounts are ok' .


Thing is ....the top of my steak usually looks like its been in a bushfire and covered in ash - i cover it in so much pepper.😏

I mean what is 'regular cullinary amount' anyway?!

@RodneyTrotter1 oh... you cook for people as a profession?

Wow.


What style of food do you cook?

@OogieBoogie I work in a pub/restaurant cooking mainly traditional English, Indian, Chinese and Italian, trying to get some Greek on the menu so I can have some after work, I love Greek food!

@RodneyTrotter1 oooh....sounds like good nosh up food !

Me too....and mexcian.

And italian...and thai.

Shit...i just love most good fresh simply cooked food.

Not keen on french...too fussy.
Love their bread tho.


I can just sit with a platter of ollves an cheese an meat an dried tomatoes....(basic anti pesto stuff), and have that as dinner.

Dammit..... now im thinking of sourdough drizzled in olive oil😩

I gotta stop talking food😆

@OogieBoogie I bloody love foot too, good job I'm active otherwise I would really be McBlobface!

I HATED olives until I went to Granada two years ago, it's famous for it's tapas and I got loads with every drink, got a taste for them now.

You're giving me indigestion, stop!! 🤣

Here's my Saturday night special, an autheretic Indian chicken curry, quite hot

@RodneyTrotter1 could you please NOT send me food porn 😫....so unfair 😆

I so agree. Im a cleaner. Which im really glad iam, coz if i had a desk job id be a flipping hippo !

@OogieBoogie I'll try my bestest, excuse any 'accidental' mishaps 😆

tell me about it, I shaved 4 inches off my waist last year and it's staying off, less material to wash so saves on the washing powder 🤣
