We have been on it for years.. Just back off a little and take a smaller dose to start out with. Like you said, die off.

Some times you cannot get better without some discomfort.. die off can be very unconfortable ~~ by feeling bad what do you mean ?

gas ?? what ? some times die off gives you sever indigestion... if this is what it is ~ I suggest you take Papaya pills. ( natural anti bacterial ) That enables the body to release the gas in the proper way.. the one we take is from American Health.. It also has Chlorophyll which rids the gas of offensive odors.

This is what healed my husband sever Hiatal hernia which is caused by gas not being expelled from the body properly.

I have told so many people about this pill... ( the doctors tell you tums.. then you take so many they are upset because you have to much calcium .. then they give you a pills to get rid of the excess of the tums.. and the cycles begins of down word spiral )

You can eat as many as you need to make you feel better.. it will not hurt you.. my husand would at first go through two hugh bottles a month... then it slowly slowed down to hardly anything to nothing at all just keep on hand for indigestion.

inhave read it restores good bacteria as well, i know ginger does which is relaated to turmatric.
how i feel when i take it..at first ok then after a week really weak like i just wantbto lie in bed. when i stand up i feel weak and like my heart is pounding too fast.
there seems to be so many positive reports i really want to give it more of a go..but the effect on me is so bad i just don't know about more

I love turmeric - it is one of my very top favorite items when it comes to natural health. Sad to say, I am not familiar with the site you listed or their products.

The key to getting maximum benefit from turmeric is to either:

1. Purchase an enhanced absorption product such as the Doctors Best High Absorption Turmeric/Curcumin* that I take every day (two 500 mg capsules twice daily) and chose to put in my site's "Supplement Catalog"* or Life Extension Foundation's excellent Super BioCurcumin, or

2. Take piperine (black pepper) or coconut oil along with the turmeric to enhance absorption.

Turmeric is fantastic, but it is not normally absorbed well at all and needs some help.

A note: Many people simply take Curcumin, which is the main ingredient in turmeric - and curcumin is great. However, whole turmeric contains some beneficial compounds not found in curcumin and so I recommend taking whole turmeric root - which you can also purchase fresh and then chop or grind to include in recipes.

My good friend Sayer Ji, webmaster/owner of the fantastic Greenmedinfo website has researched and written extensively about turmeric, which he calls "The Golden Goddess". Here is one example he was kind enough to permit me to republish on my site:

To find out much, much more about turmeric I highly suggest taking a look at his site and doing a search for "turmeric:

I will also add that, without knowing what your skin condition is, there may be other good things to do and take which could benefit you greatly. Here are some links we have about skin conditions:

I hope this helps and good luck!
