Noticeable Improvement.

Hi there. I just wanted to share with you that I have increased stamina in my body. I'm by no means feeling fantastic, but I have been able to engage in more activities and hold up better. I have noticed that if I do crash, it  does not last long and I'm bouncing back again. The only new medicine that I have been taking is a capsule ( 4× daily) containing Curcumin (derived from tumeric) and Momordica C, , Amalaki, and Pepper Pippali. This medicine was actually given to my husband, who is recovering from cancer, by a friend and Ayurvedic practioner. 


I thought..what the heck, I might as well take it as well. I have tried so many things over the years and nothing ever works. My husband commented today that he has noticed that I have more energy and strength. I thoroughly agree. I am considering that the formula is killing something in my body. Maybe attacking viruses or bacteria perhaps. No idea. I wasn't able to walk through a shopping centre without a walker ,or stand in line at a bank without almost collapsing, just a month ago. I could barely do any housework without falling into a heap very quickly. My crashes were quite severe and I was usually bedridden for at least a week. 


I am still having to have total bed rest from about 3.30pm until the next day. So I'm not well ,but certainly doing much more and holding up better. I have also noticed decreased pain in my body.  It must have some natural anti inflammatory properties. I will continue taking this new medicine and see if the progress continues. Fingers crossed. I will keep you updated. Hugs and healing to you all.

That's great to hear. I've heard good things about tumeric, but since I hate the taste, haven't added it to my diet like they recommend. I will be awaiting your updates with great interest. If the capsules continue to help you improve, I might try them too.

That's great! I get my tumeric in my Pukka three ginger tea. I don't like it plain but it's warm and yummy in the tea.
I will look for the other ingredients in something from my ND :) thanks!

I too have taken the Tumeric. The one I use is tumeric with bioPerine in capsules. Overall, I didn't
feel much difference, and I did read about it helping with cancer. I'm glad it's helping you and it
does sound like it has the ant iinflammation properties.

Oh dear. So much for my improvement. I'm bedridden again with a heavy influenza. Just hope it doesn't set me back again for weeks or even months. I was convinced I was getting slowly better.

I have taken Curcumin capsules (the active ingredient in Tumeric). I get itching from hell, large areas of skin that itch and itch and itch. Nothing reduces the itch and it lasts for weeks, even months. It is not allergy, not irritation, not anything at all except damaged nerves (neurological). I researched what might help, and came up w curcumin. Used for a long time in the orient, it is now being studied in the US. It is a natural anti-inflammatory and reduces free radicals.
Aussiedi, Perhaps the antinflammatory was what you responded to.
https://www.turmericforhealth.com/turmeric-benefits/how-turmeric-can-soothe-eczema-and-itching I take it when the itching comes on; it reduces it.
Aussiedi, I hope you are over the flu and back on a hopeful road.

Hi there lindasch100. I am taking a high potency but also combined with the other ingredients mentioned above in my post.. I have taken curcumin before from the health store and did not notice any change. I believe the higher potency combined with the other three is definitely helping. I have recovered from the flu also more quickly than usual. So that's also a good sign for me. Some of the ingredients work on the liver and besides EBV showing up in blood tests many years back, I also had CMV, which is a liver virus. Anyway something is working because I have more strength back compared to how I have been for over half my life since contracting Glandular Fever. I can't say I have a normal level of energy, but still noticeable improvement. So I'm feeling more hopeful.

Hey Aussie, this sounds pretty good--your improvement in energy. I think it's really cool that you found a natural approach. How are you feeling today?

I find that in order for a natural approach they need to be taken often throughout the day. The expensive vitamins that I take only work if taken 2-4 times a day, taken every 3 hours. I feel, there is some magic potion in these because I've tried regular vitamins from the grocery store and they don't do anything good for my health and they must be taken with food AND they are a super big tablet but the supplements I take are not super big AND don't need to be taken with food and they work within an hour.

Hi Linda. They came from an ayurvedic practioner on the Sunshine Coast here in Australia.. To be honest, , I've had a lot of distractions and family stress lately and I haven't been taking them. Thanks for reminding me to start taking them again because I'm feeling very fatigued at present. New start tomorrow.
I'm happy to give you the contact if you want it. I'm just not sure about the legalities of bringing it into your country. Should be OK
You may be able to access it from an ayurvedic practioner, if you have one anywhere near you ? Or maybe online ? Hugs to you.
