    It has definitely been mentioned before (but finding the relative posts is difficult].  There are many natural products that help inflammation - the ‘experts’ on these will no doubt be along to advise.

    I'd love tokow as well, as I have fibromyalgia.

      Fibromyalgia is NOT inflammatory.

    I am interested in this. If anyone knows how much cherry juice one would have to consume to have an effect, please let me know.  I don’t like cherry juice but I’ll try it if it might help.

      1  tumbler   per day   there was lots  of  infoe on how good it is.  so we will see   i bought 4 litres from  sainsburys.  but i recon it will take a couple of weeks to  kick in

    My husband has gout that occasionally flares up if he overindulges, we were looking for a natural remedy and cherry juice was recommended. He tried it, and was pleased when it reduced the redness and pain. He also puts celery seed in his tomato juice, and that seems to keep the gout from flaring up. Not sure how either product would work with other conditions, but it’s worth a try.

    Cherry juice is supposed to be good for PMR but it must be Montmorency cherries which are sour cherries. I have a glass every day as I love cherry juice!

    Highly unlikely! If it sounds too good to be true - it probably is!

    I think it's one of those things which may make some people feel better, but probably most won't notice a difference.  It could depend on a lot of other factors too, including your nutritional status - some people may for whatever reason have some sort of deficiency which is helped by (fill in the blank) cherry juice, turmeric, ginger, aloe vera, etc.  I'd say, give it a try, and if it doesn't work no harm done, if it does, great!  I've used aloe vera and found it helpful, but only to a point, think it is no longer having any effect.  But on the other hand after a very difficult summer last year and a so-so winter, I'm definitely feeling better now.  So did the aloe vera help?  Maybe it did!  I certainly seem to have found it easier to reduce when taking it, but now I'm pretty sure I'm close to my best lowest dose, and the aloe very can't take me further.  I suspect it helps with withdrawal pains, but doesn't really do anything about the PMR itself.

    I believe cherries help reduce inflammation a great deal. I add unsweetened dried cherries to salads and anything else that sounds good and drizzle unsweetened cherry concentrate on my plain Greek yogurt.
