Alvina, not “wacky” at all. There are numerous natural remedies that help to reduce inflammation and tart cherry juice is known to be one of those. Personally, I take tumeric, which replaces NSAIDS for me as they exacerbate my tinnitus. Tart cherry juice may not be for everyone (diabetics) but as we’ve learned in our PMR journey, it’s an individual path with some shared experiences and solutions.

I wonder if cherry pie (my favorite) has the same benefits 😂.

My son, who works for a college football facility, just told me that the athletes use the tart cherry juice. He said they bring in cases of the stuff. So, maybe you have something here. It's also recommended for those with Gout, which is also an autoimmune disease. 👍
