> I'm not sure if it was placebo or not but I've noticed definite reduction in my pain levels since re-commencing my turmeric trial. But then again it may be because, as Larry so succinctly put it, I was taking enough turmeric to COMPLETELY inhibit the cox-2 processes in my body. {I was taking 3 large heaped teaspoons per day :)}. By the way I am going to also give bromelain another trial as Larry suggested. Hopefully my "three pronged" anti-inflammatory cocktail of fish oil, turmeric and bromelain will do wonders for my knees and all the other little aches and pains that seem to be creeping up on me as I get older.

A fourth prong would be adding GLA (gamma-linolenic acid). In the presence of fish oil, GLA is pushed down a pathway that leads to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. One gram a day of borage oil, black currant oil, or evening primrose oil. Borage has something like 23% GLA, evening primrose about half that.
