I have bought the brand longevita, a potent curcumin supplement. Would like to find put if it interacts wit lamictal? ## Hello, Sass! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed, but it is always best to double check this information to be safe. You should also be aware that some potent supplements can cause nausea, when you take them. Lamictal is classified by the FDA as being an anticonvulsant that may also be used to treat some other conditions, as deemed appropriate by your doctor. Typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, mood swings and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you for your reply. I am also having issues with my eyes as well as weakness and burning tongue (not all days, but some). Achy eyes and at ti...

I started taking turmeric (curcumin) for inflammation and I'm allergic to penicillin. Can I take the turmeric (curcumin)? ## They are not related, but it is always best to be cautious when you start taking anything new, especially over the counter supplements, since they are not usually tested for interactions, or contraindications with most prescription medications, and various health conditions. You should also be aware that Turmeric is not FDA approved to treat any condition, nor have any studies proven it effective. The best I can tell you is that it tastes great, when I cook with it, although it does have a habit of staining some plasticware, such as my steamer baskets. LOL It also makes a great substitute with other spices, if you can't afford Saffron, or just don't wa...

This may be a value for an enzyme. I have a cancer report from a cancer Society which describes a microbe which invades the cells, they have not figured out how but it builds a protein wall around itself to hide from oxygen and the immune system. Proteolytic enzymes break up scar tissue made from protein. certain veggies have proteolytic enzymes. This would reveal the cell to be attacked! There are many veggies, Broccoli, tumeric/curcumin, Kiwi, etc., which display this quality. I personally make CDS and have treated people. My last had bone cancer and was cleared after 2 months by his Oncologist. So sensible eating! Also cancer is a bi-product of drugs and Dysbiosis - google it. I suggest this is the BIGGEST health problem in the world!!

I have a severe allergic reaction to aspirin (large hives and feinting). I have arthritis in both of my hands. My doctor gave me Tramadol which is only helping some. Is there at least one antiinflamatory I can take where it won't cross react with my allergy. My allergy to aspirin is as severe as someone allergic to penicillin. ## Hi Sharon, A few other options I would consider, are: Ibuprofen/Motrin/Advil, Diclofenac, or even a natural alternative such as Turmeric (Curcumin); which contains more than two dozen anti-inflammatory compounds. According to an article on NaturalNews.com, "Curcumin is proven to be even better for relieving arthritis pains and stiffness than expensive pharmaceuticals, without any side effects. It has also been proven to protect the liver and gallbladder...

I'm trying to find reviews for using Relev-X for arthritis in the knees. Any info would be appreciated. ## Info on Relev-X ## You are not going to find any scientifically or medically proven information on this. Relev-X is just a nutritional supplement and while these products can make a lot of claims, they are not actually proven to work. This product contains Glucosamine, which is a substance naturally present in our joints that is believed to diminish with age, injury or health issues. The other ingredients are listed as: Fish oils, while willow bark, curcumin, licorice, boswellia, cat's claw and devil's claw. In addition, since it contains licorice, which can raise your blood pressure, it should not be used by those suffering from hypertension. Are there any other questi...

Why can my DR. not prescribe the HYdrocodone apap 10/660 .reason being i was on it for about 7 years with no side affects and could stop taking it anytime with no problems. The narco 10/325 i have to take twice as many to git the same results, and have constipation problems. ## In Jan 2014, the FDA required manufactuers to limit the amount of tylenol in prescription meds to no more than 325 mgs. They no longer make a med rx with 660 mg tylenol. ## @Rocky, BL is right about the new law limiting the amount of acetaminophen to 325mgs. However to my knowledge there are safer alternatives to acetaminophen (such as Curcumin/Turmeric root) with studies showing that it's as effective as other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs but without side effects when taken as directed. So if that...

I take 7.5 mg. my hands still hurt and are swollen. 2nd day to take them. I scraped glue off a floor for several days and night and my hands and fingers are so swollen and very painful . ## Merry Christmas Joyce, Sorry to hear about the pain in your hands and fingers. Scraping glue off a floor for several days/nights sounds like it would do that to just about anyone though. But I hope you're able to find some level of relief from taking the meloxicam. Based on your description, my guess is that it may be a while before the swelling subsides. However it seems like you're using the right preventative measures w/ a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug to keep it from getting any worse. Have you also considered looking into supplements like Turmeric/Curcumin as a secondary option for...

Is the medication Methotrexate a steroid ? ## No, if falls under the DMARD category. (Disease Modifying Anti-Rhuematic Drug) ## I take that medication for lupus. It is also used as a cancer chemotherapy medication. It can cause your blood sugar to go high, especially if you are a diabetic, cause severe headache, and diarrhea. ## Metho is sytotoxic, it inhibits an enzyme that participates in the production of folate (related to Folic Acid). Methotrexate acts specifically during DNA and RNA synthesis. It has a greater toxic effect on rapidly dividing cells. Your doctor must have explained you need supplement with enough folic acid (as high as 2-10 mg at least 5 times a week) and B12, as well as antioxidants and other vitamins and minerals. I hope you are taking curcumin, quercetin, boswel...
