What about other herbal treatments?

Someone suggested tumeric to me, and they said that there is a product called cucumen that is a combination of tumeric and pepper, and that the pepper helps absorb the tumeric. I don't want to add a lot of additional products, but I heard of this from two different people. Does anyone know about this? I was doing well until I stood in line as I said earlier for about 20 minutes with friends waiting for a table in a restaurant. The next day I hurt from my neck to my toes. My hips are VERY sore and my upper back. It's lessening but very slowly. It's almost like the original flare up, and it just keeps hanging on.  Some folks add things like over the counter drugs, but what I've read just says that pred negates it. I also have gained about 4 or 5 pounds, and i don't want to go in that direction. I've worked hard to get off 40 lbs. Low carb is the only thing that works for me. If it isn't a fruit, veggie or protein then I should not have it, but I do give in like most of us do at times. This is not for sissies.
