Yeah AR that was a good video, I got some of the Red Hot Chilli Stuff, it's good but boy, you better wear disposable rubber gloves and wash your hands really well.
I did warn you it was hot. :lol: :lol:

Be careful not to rub that stuff on areas of the skin that are a little soft...Burns burns burns. 8.(
Not about the cream, but I thought this would go in here ok.
Bit of back ground, I have suffered from arthritis for 20 years and been taking NSAID's for about that time.
Last year on a trip to Cape York I jarred a tendon in my thumb from corrugations on the roads, anti inflammatories did nothing to help it.
About 6 months ago I started getting a massive pain in the back of my right thigh, a combination of pandol and ibuprofin seemed to help. 8 weeks ago I finally went to my gp , had an MRI and it was diagnosed as sciatic nerve pain, not funny. I was then referred to a sports medicine specialist, who then sent me for hydrotherapy, but he also suggested that I take a tablet of Tumeric every day.
Now I'm not going to say what worked with what or how, but, I haven't taken a pain killer now for nearly 3 weeks, I stopped using the NSAID's 2 weeks ago and I'm almost totally pain free and have very good movement in all my old bad joints.
So for about $40-00 I suggest you try the tumeric tablets for a couple of months.This does not constitute medical advise in any shape or form, just my opinion, I'm a believer

Xcavator,
Curcumin is a supplement that is getting plenty of attention these days, and I take it twice a day, along with resveratrol, vitamin D and a few other things. If you are a diabetic on metformin, there is interesting evidence of Vitamin D's anti cancer effects when taken with metformin.
Here is an article on Curcumin from a body building site I follow. All these things need to be taken with a grain of salt, but there is lots of research happening into curcumin.

I give my arthritic male dog (Eddie) a mixture of Turmeric & finely cracked black pepper mixed in with his dinner once a day. I boil up a small batch (about 3 cups) once a fortnight on the stove and use around a tablespoon once a day. Ed seems to like it and keeps his arthritis under control to the point where he now walks without a limp, and regularly runs with the other mutts seemingly w/o pain. I have never really been into herbal cures (except for rum), but this works for him and beats the expensive Vet bills/tablets (Carprieve).
It's the Curcumin in Turmeric which is the active ingredient. The Piperine in the black pepper slows the liver's metabolism of the Curcumin to the point where the body builds a much higher bio-availability of Curcumin (up to 20 times) and for much longer. Guess what a common ingredient in curry powder is besides turmeric? Black pepper. I wonder why?
