Curcumin, Ibuprofen, & Inflammation | DailyDocTalk 40

Inflammation is not evil and is actually an important biological process that keeps us alive at times. But that also doesn't mean it's an angel and we should let it run rampant. In actuality, the truth lies somewhere in between these two extremes, and it's important to understand the context of the inflammation, and also its source before you decide to do anything about it.

[@sarahbutler1030]

[@DrewTimmermansND]

My pleasure

[@mikethegamer2835]

Hey so your video out of 20 ive watched actual helped me understand. Im wondering I got bursitis in my heel right foot i put heel lifts and have been managing it icing and drinking water the inflammation has gone down , but im questioning if i should take inflammatory medications to speed up the healing i have been on a good diet since January ive definitely seen a difference but idk i feel like i need it. Also have been taking herbal teas and taking cologne powder to also provide increase in protein synthesis.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

anti-inflammatory medications don't speed up healing. So if you're looking to improve healing, you should consider things like vitamin c, BPC-157, stem regen, collagen powder, and PRP injections

[@carlosmacmartin4205]

"Finding the seed" to the immflamation would definitely be the priority.

[@MarisolsAdventures]

i have a slap tear on my shoulder..wondering if i should suppress it ? they told me i needed surgery :(

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Inflammation suppression with a slap tear is not a good idea. It does nothing to improve your outcome long term. Get on a good mobility program from Kelly Startett (thereadystate.com), look into prp injections to see if you're a candidate, and watch some of my videos on BPC-157 and connective tissue healing. You may or may not truly need surgery, I would have no idea unless I saw you as a patient, but there's a lot you can do on your own.

[@MarisolsAdventures]

@@DrewTimmermansND Thank you so much. will look into it :)

[@richw1907]

hi, i have a kidney disease called membranous and have been taken off all anti inflammatory meds and this is quite panful so how does turmeric (curcumin) effect my kidneys???

[@DrewTimmermansND]

I'm sorry, that is outside my area of expertise

[@MuhammadAdamGhamkoley]

What about people with hayfever or asthma.... Should they take quercetin or curcumin to reduce inflammation.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Both could be helpful

[@clintonlarry1556]

Great knowledge

[@danashannon8234]

I know I have Neuro inflammation....and all inflammatory tests are high. My brain is suffering. I can tell.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

I'm sorry to hear that

[@alialjeemaz6964]

I pray to Allah you get well soon Dana 🙌🏽

[@yadvindersingh9309]

Good information

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Thank you

[@kkleon2]

Can Curcumin be taken after prp therapy?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Depends on the situation, but most of the time we don't stop curcumin in our patients undergoing prp injections

[@mikethegamer2835]

By any chance how would i get bpc 157

[@DrewTimmermansND]

We use the InfiniWell brand as they use the arginate salt. We specifically use the Original Formula capsules without the SNAC. We have a 20% patient discount code on our website regenerativeperformance.com/supplements (code is RP20).

[@user1828lansb9]

Hello, can you please share if you have any insights whether curcumin has the same benefits as Ibuprofen(which I know is very dangerous in the long run) at easing anxiety, depression and OCD?

[@MeanBeanComedy]

Yes. Try Longvida and Meriva.

[@divinelove1273]

What about nerve inflammation?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Nerve inflammation is a slightly different beast. I would recommend you search and watch my other videos on neurogenic inflammation for more info

[@mattfrazer3278]

Cheek infection best cure noticed 😊
