Lynn Commented:
I think you need to give the turmeric more time to work. Is it just supposed
to help with the inflammation, or is it supposed to work on the root of the
problem? I think anything that is benign and can cut down on the amount of
commercial drugs is a good thing. I don't know how you can get so much done
when you are in pain.

Jeanne's reply:
Here is my take on how the Turmeric works. From the experience of not having
any on hand for about a week, the pain returned, especially in the knees. So
my guess is that it is for sure an into inflammatory and that it eases pain.
My other guess is that it does not cure the cause. One knee was badly
damaged in a fall when I wa younger and ignored the damage. Then I spent
much time favoring the knee and thus put a lot of strain on the good one.
Now thy are both bad, but so far I have held out against knee surgery. This
past year I regained about 15 pounds and that alone has put much added stress
on the knee joints, This year I am working on taking that excess weight off.
According to what I have read loosing one pound takes 4 pounds worth of
pressure off the knee joints. The turmeric does its job, especially when I
get the extra weight off the joints. Another observation is that even when I
was on the thin side my knees bothered me too, so when at the proper weight
the turmeric seems to do the best job. My body seems to respond the best
when I put the powder directly into a drink. It seems to be absorbed much
better . Before I discovered the way I do it now I was taking a huge pill
and do not think I was absorbing the dosage very well.
Bev you have RA and I have osteo arthritis! There is a big difference!
Changing all the things that your body has been used to will take time. My
thoughts would be to give yourself 6 months.

cornish...are those birds the product of a cross between a Dark Cornish
rooster and maybe a White Rock or something similar? If so, is there some
reason why it would not make sense to have a Dark Cornish mating
pair/rooster?

The Dark (or any other color) Cornish has so little relationship to the
modern meat bird called a "Cornish cross" that it's misleading to use the
same name. It leads to one of the most frequently asked questions: "If I
cross a Cornish and a Rock, will I have a Cornish cross?" to which the
answer is, "You'll have the variable slow-growing bird of sixty-odd years
ago, not the thrifty, large-breasted, fast-growing bird of today."

I have not raised Cornish breed chickens, so I can't give you any first-hand
information. I have heard that, like other giant breeds, they take a long
time to reach full size. I have heard that, like other game-type chickens,
the males are "more aggressive." I've heard that they lay smaller eggs and
not too many of 'em. I've never heard anyone claim they are a utility breed
;-).
