   The spice Curcumin (High Cholesterol board)

30th June 2005
Quote from Sagg:
Thank you JJ. Haven't been back for a couple of days. sounds like a spice I would like. I know I love Curry chicken salad. Since I can't take statins, I am going to try the capsules. I use 1/4 tsp cinnamon every morning already. Now if the pain in my arm and knees would just stop.


Hi Sagg...I haven't tried the Curcumin, but like U, take the cinnamon in the a.m. with my oatmeal. I just use the stuff from my spice rack, about a 1/4 tsp. also.

As far as your pains, don't know how long U were on statins, but with some folks it takes awhile. I know Arizona, Hubble and a few others on here take that CoQ10, and it seemed to help them quite a bit. From what I hear, it is good even if U don't take statins. It isn't cheap, but I'm sure someone can tell U where to get a decent deal.

Hope your arm and legs feel better, it took me months to get over some of my hip and leg pain, and I was only on statins about 5 months total, 3 on Lipitor and 2 on Baycol. The dr. even had me take the Baycol only 3 times a week, but I still couldn't handle it.

Good luck, and enjoy your day.... :wave:
