20 r C URCUMIN —T HE 21 ST C ENTURY C URE boswellia twice daily had significantly better pain relief than those who took 100 mg of celecoxib (generic form of Celebrex) twice a day. The curcumin-boswellia blend equaled celecoxib in improved joint flexibility. However, Celebrex has serious negative side effects, including irregular heartbeat, depression, increased risk of heart attack and stroke, stomach and intestinal bleeding, chest pain, ulcers, severe abdominal pain, jaundice, one-sided weakness and more. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would take this drug when natural curcumin and boswellia offer better results and no serious side effects at all. Rheumatoid arthritis: A landmark 2006 study from the University of Arizona takes the idea of inflammation a step further with the finding that curcumin might prevent rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease. Another study showed that curcumin was at least as effective as one commonly prescribed pain reliever for rheumatoid arthritis. The most recent research published in the journal Phytotherapy Research in March 2012 shows that people with rheumatoid arthri- tis taking 500 mg of BCM-95 ® Curcumin twice daily had as much pain relief and improved mobility as those who received diclofenac sodium (generic form of the drug Voltaren, a pharmaceutical com- monly prescribed for people with rheumatoid arthritis) with a vast- ly superior safety profile. Side effects associated with Voltaren include ulcers, bleeding in the stomach and gastrointestinal tract, life-threatening blood loss, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, fainting and many others. No side effects were reported in the patients who received BCM-95 ® Curcumin. CONCLUSION If you suffer from occasional or continuous joint pain, like most of us, you’ll discover that curcumin offers short- and long-term relief. You can find the same kind of pain relief as my sister, who has suf- fered from chronic back pain for decades and found relief with her first dose of curcumin.
