Some are spelling it Turmeric and others are spelling Tumeric. Is this the same thing? That's what threw me off in op's original post, I knew Tumeric is a spice, but had never heard of Turmeric.

I have been using it for about 2 years, just the spice nothing else. Before that I had had cortizone, and those expensive shots in the knee. Nothing worked so I had to wear a brace to not only exercise but just get around. I don't use much, perhaps 1/4 teaspoon.

I believe I read somewhere that Curcumin helps prevent cancer so I decided to try it. It comes in a spice called Turmeric. I used it twice a day sprinkled generously over soups and salads. I suspect I might have suffered a side effect from it because something happened that never happened before. So I stopped using it and the side effect went away after about 10 to 15 days. Now I'm using it again but with a much lighter sprinkle. The side effect did not come back.

I already eat an anti-inflammatory diet so I probably won't gain anything by using it.

Springfield, do you mix 1/4 teaspoon into your egg beaters, and take just once daily?
How long did it take before you no longer needed your brace to exercise?
Have you shared your success with your Orthopedic doctor or your MD; and what do they say?

Tumeric is a common misspelling of the spice. It is turmeric, it's a spice, and there is no such thing as tumeric.
