What a fantastic outcome! Congratulations! I’ve been struggling with chronic pain in my thoracic and lumbar spine and hips for about seven years. Nonstop, relentless pain that even after steroid injections, RFAs, epidurals, and very strong prescription pain medications I’ve ended up at the ER more times than I can remember. I’m legally disabled, depressed, home bound, and in tears most days because of the excruciating pain and the loss of having an actual life. Simply put: devastating. I have tried adding turmeric, circumin, black pepper, moringa extract, cinnamon, ginger, etc… to my morning meds every day but nothing has helped with all my inflammation. I can’t take NSAIDS because I’m prone to gastric ulcers. After reading your post, I realized I had never considered how my body absorbs the supplements. I hadn’t considered the hydrophobic/ hydrophilic properties. I’m going to try your method and see what happens. At this point, I honestly feel as though I have nothing to lose but everything to gain if it helps! So… thank you for your post. I’ll let you know what happens.
