Joint Pain: Medicine Kit of the Lower Pecos, Part II
Human beings have been plagued with joint pain throughout the history of mankind. Arthritis, the condition caused by the wearing down of beneficial cartilage in the joints, affects over 27 million people in the United States today, according to the Arthritis Foundation
(www.arthritistoday.org). I don’t know enough about the skeletal evidence from the Lower Pecos of Texas to do more than speculate, but at least some people in the region 4000-6000 years ago must have worn out a knee or two climbing up and down steep canyons and running over rough stone outcroppings in the uplands. In other words, they probably had their share of “archaic arthritis.”
Ow! Even that phrase hurts! Osteoarthritis produces stinging pain and can cause swelling and stiffness in the joints affected. Generally, the older you are, the more wear and tear you have on your joints. A stiff knee could make a thirty-year-old adult from the archaic period feel…

Turmeric- Nature’s Ibuprofen, But WAY Better
Turmeric (a plant often used as a spice that can be found in any grocery store) is likely the most common herbal supplement I recommend to my patients. Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen, advil, motrin, aleve, aspirin) are some of the most commonly used drugs, both by physicians and over the counter. However, their serious side effects are well known and feared by physicians. They are one of the leading causes of stomach and intestinal ulcers and can cause kidney failure. They are usually safe is short courses but for people with chronic pain it becomes a real problem.
Turmeric however has been used in traditional Indian (Ayurvedic) and Chinese medicine for hundreds (possibly thousands) of years for its pain relieving and anti-inflammatory qualities. A study was done in 2011 in the journal Inflammation that looked at the anti-inflammatory capability of turmeric vs ginger vs indomethacin (a…
