I buy it by the pound from an online herb shop,
but you could go to the spice Isle at the grocery
store, or your local coop or health food store,
and look for organic turmeric. They're just
usually so pricey.
I fill my own capsules and take 3 1 gram
capsules twice a day, depending on how I'm
feeling. Bad days I take 6 capsules, and good days
I can get by with 1. So anywhere from 1-6 grams
total. It's not toxic so there're no worries
there. If you want to buy from where I get it. The
site is:
http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/
99% of their products are organic. So I don't
worry about pesticide residues and all that.
Everything is labeled so you know what is organic
and what isn't. But there's very little that isn't
organic. The customer service department is very
nice, and they have a phone number and email
address listed. And I spent a lot of time looking
for an herb store online that had decent prices.
This place is the most reasonable I could find.
The shipping might make it unreasonable if you
live outside the US though. I live in the States,
and I usually buy anywhere from 5 -15 lbs of
different herbal teas, powders, and such, at one
time, so I get a quantity discount on the price
too. But buying that way saves me lots of money
through the year. I'll be hanged if I'll pay what
some places want for 100 or so capsules, when I
can get a whole pound and make a whole lot more
than that on my own for just a little more. 1 lb
of organic turmeric is 5.00 And lasts me 3-4
months give or take, depending on how much I need
to take. That's a lot less expensive than any
vitamin shop I've seen, even with shipping charges
added.
And there is an organic herb store on eBay named
our4corners. Some of their stuff has better prices
than MRH and on other stuff MRH has better prices.
You just have to compare. I'll say I like the
packaging that MRH uses better than our4corners.
MRH uses heavy zip locked bags. our4corners uses
black plastic baggies with wire those wire twisty
things. And MRH sells by the 4 oz, and 8 oz size
too, our4corners sells mostly by the whole pound.

I like, I like!! How much turmeric do you consume, and are you cooking
with it? Or ingesting it directly from the spice rack?

I take turmeric, it's an anti inflammatory/analgesic and it works
works great for me. And it's non toxic. I have a lot of back and
neck problems due to being rear ended four times in 10 years.
Glucosamine and MSM with vit C do wonders for me as well, they take
a little longer to see results than the turmeric does, anywhere from
two weeks to three months of use. They are non toxic too. And Emu
oil applied over the area is an effective anti inflammatory and
analgesic as well. DMSO is a great pain reducer and anti
inflammatory. But some people prefer using other things first
because of the garlicky body odor it can produce.
If you have muscle spasms, kava kava works wonders, it's a mild
muscle relaxant. The liquid extract tastes nasty but it's worth it
for the relief. It works in less than thirty minutes if you take it
on an empty stomach. Don't take it frequently if you use a lot of
Tylenol or other meds that are routed through the liver. Or if you
drink alcoholic beverages every day. It over burdens the liver, and
that can make more problems than it solves.
There are a multitude of different herbs, mushrooms, and supplements
that work for inflammation, try a google search for anti
inflammatory supplements, or herbs. You might have to try a few
things out, and maybe different combinations of things, because what
works for me may not work as well for you. And a lot of these use
different metabolic pathways in the body to work.
Anti oxidants such as Pycnogenol, or ALA, and Acetyl L Carnitine may
be beneficial in controlling the progression. And you might benefit
from K2 supplementation, along with Vit D3 and calcium, along with
vitamine C.
To reduce stress and cortisol levels I'd suggest one of the
Ginsengs. Rhodiola Rosea or Jiaogulan. But there are other
adaptogens that might work better for you.
Those gravity tables that you hang upside down on, have helped a lot
of people with back problems. :) It reverses the constant downward
pull of gravity on the spine.
I dunno if my blathering has helped any at all, but that's my .02
worth anyway:)

My wife has been diagnosed with arthritis of the spine, as
confirmed by MRI. This causes her severe pain, compounded by
the effects of fibromyalgia.
Question for list: CMO helps with arthritis of joints, and the
spine is a series of connected joints. Does anyone know if CMO,
or any other similar “medication”, can help with spinal arthritis?
