Oddbean new post about login | logout @efa2e20e I have found no benefit. I took it for months and nothing. Switching to keto or carnivore did the trick for me.
@dabe0ad5 i will take it as anti-inflammatory not as diet pill though
@efa2e20e Exactly. There are several routes to the anti-inflammatory goal. Some people respond to curcumin and turmeric, some to diet changes (which was the case for me). I'm simply saying your mileage may vary. A suggestion would be to test it by choosing a movement that you can do consistently that causes pain due to inflammation. For me, it was getting down on the floor to exercise. Over time, that movement should get easier. If it doesn't, what you're taking isn't working.
@dabe0ad5 in which body part you have inflammation?
@efa2e20e My knees and shoulders. I was a swimmer in college -- breaststroke. The kick technique at the time was hell on my knees. It also doesn't help that I shattered my kneecap in an accident, ending my college swimming career. My shoulders are from old age. I have big shoulders, and I'm a side sleeper. So I put lots of strain and compression on them all night. Since changing my diet, the inflammation is reduced, bit not entirely gone. Exercise helps too, counter-intuitively
@dabe0ad5 You have inflammation in both knees or only one of them?
@efa2e20e Just the right one now. The left knee had a total joint replacent in 2014. It's supposedly a 30-year knee, but I'm doing my darndest to test that theory. I have the Smith+Nephew Oxinium model. It's worked great for the past 9 years. I just leg pressed 320lbs this morning.
@dabe0ad5 @efa2e20e same with my wife. She took it to help with some arthritis but after a about six months, gave up on it because she felt that it wasn’t doing anything for her. Maybe it’s one of those things that will vary from person to person🤷🏻♂️
@ceed4f56 yez, it's all in genetics varies bigly
