Absolutely edibles over pharma. 100%

In most cases, I think the side effects are probably worse than what the biologic can do for you. Obviously, that is a personal opinion, but I took Remicade one injection and it sent me to the ER within less than two weeks with breathing problems. I had COPD that was very well controlled. Now it is not I’m on stronger medication’s for the COPD and it is much worse. I’m now going to start looking for holistic ways to help the COPD and get off all the inhalers, because I think big Pharma is actually trying to kill us. I will never take another biologic. I use CBDTHC and turmeric for my psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Recently had an appointment with my rheumatologist and he said my inflammation numbers, etc. appearance I look better than a lot of of his patients that are on biologic currently. I strongly suggest people looking in to turmeric.

Art515 Just taking it one day at a time. My retirement time has been commandeered. I'm on call 24/7 for my Grandson until my Granddaughter arrives, which could be anytime between now and August 26. My daughter is on so many medications, trying to keep that baby in for as long as possible. No more babies for her; this is not a slam dunk for her like it was for me. I'm ok with two grandbabies.
This is stressful on several levels, so I'm trying not to think about it, the world, the stupid government, the awful president ...etc.

Tj thank you for your response and concern about the turmeric, I recently had a full panel blood test and my liver is fine. I get this done yearly as I am on oxycodone as well due to five neck/back surgeries. The psoriatic arthritis is just a bonus I guess.
Obviously what you eat plays a big role in everything in your life and currently the turmeric as well as pool exercises swimming I am doing well. My skin is completely clear. I do enjoy the sunshine, so I think that helps but obviously in moderation.
I did check all of the backend reports, etc., on Remicade before I started it and was told no problem. This is one of the best for your situation. Obviously it has made my situation much worse. The only thing that keeps me from doing everything I want to do is the COPD, psoriatic arthritis is well maintained with the turmeric curcumin a few other supplements and healthy eating, and obviously get up and move. Moving is your best friend😊
I hope everyone has a great day!
