Black Cherry concentrate

[Kathi]

Ok so I have been rather uncomfortable lately.Some kind of inflammation in my knee and upper thigh.It seems that the change in weather can bring it on.I have been reading about Black Cherry concentrate.The capsules.It looks like GNC has a capsule that everyone likes.I have also read that Black Cherry can affect your sleep.Something about the melatonin.All you authorities out there.What do you think?Can you give me some information.The capsules look like they are rather expensive but people claim they have gotten relief.I think it might be a lot more healthy than taking ibuprofen all the time.

The mechanism by which cherries and cherry juice concentrate prevent gout attacks is unclear. One of the mechanisms suggested by Gelber and Solomon (2) is the presence of vitamin C in cherries; however, administration of vitamin C has not been found to be as effective for attack prevention. Gouty inflammation is primarily mediated by interleukin-1 (IL-1) (7). Preliminary studies in our laboratory (5, 6) indicate that in vitro treatment with cherry juice concentrate can reduce the release of IL-1 by monocytes activated by monosodium urate crystals.

Our studies suggest that cherry juice concentrate reduces acute attacks of gout when it is consumed over a period of ≥4 months. We have found cherry juice concentrate to have antiinflammatory properties and suggest that it may be useful as prophylaxis for gout. Large, prospective RCTs are needed to further evaluate the efficacy of cherries and cherry juice concentrate for the prevention of attacks in patients with gout. But it does work.

It should not interfere with your sleep, but help it. Check it out:

I got one these for my mom. She was having severe pain in both of her arms from elbow to shoulder. All the doctors did was give her Vicodin for the pain. I bought it Wednesday and she says the pain in her right arm is gone and it's barely noticeable in her left. Three days and her pain was gone.

Might be worth checking out. I don't know. Picked it up at Target for $39.99.

It can run havoc with alot of people and their stomach.Can cause peptic ulcers but that is not the issue with me.Too much ibuprofen can trash your kidneys.Too much Tylenol can trash your liver.

I've been going through the exact same thing. Very painful.

Black Cherry concentrate juice.

Stay away from red meat for awhile.

Vegetables and lots of water.

I talked to my doctor about Tylenol, and he confirmed that you do have to be careful with it. He said don't ever eat more than 5 Tylenol per day (24 hours). That's the max. Of any strength.

Tylenol has killed people by giving them liver failure

Tumeric is great to fight inflamation.

I get all my vitamins from vitacost. They have big bottle of various juice concentrates for not too much money (not bargain basement, but not as bad as GNC). Maybe they'll have it for less? Or Puritan's Pride?

Well,I went to the GNC store and bought some Black Cherry concentrate capsules.500mg each.I take one in the morning and one at night.I have been taking them now for three days.My pain is gone.
