Turmeric for arthritis

Hi

I have a young dog who has bilateral elbow dysplasia both of which have been operated on but obviously now he is arthritic so I use Raflex green lipped mussel powder and Devil's alternative to help his arthritis but was given a tip to use Turmeric, black pepper and coconut oil as a paste and add to my dogs food as a natural way to treat arthritis...has anybody got any experience with this?

BTW my dogs are all raw fed

Yes hun i use turmeric, i give it with olive oil and black pepper as they get coconut oil separately anyway.

I give it mainly for my ambull who has an old injury to his rear leg, and yes if i run out we can tell a difference in him

Try and get good quality turmeric as this is richer in curcumin

heres a thread i did on it

Yeah, I saw your post on Staffiesrus about that! Great stuff, but Ella's our forum natural remedies boffin, so she can say more than I can about it!

Thanks Ella, It was actually Caryll that pointed me in your direction on another forum, I use Coconut oil anyway as well and I am going to try the coconut oil but thinking now olive oil may well be easier to make a paste with.

I have been to a Real Foods shop and got organic turmeric, organic black peppercorns too so going to give them a try first and see how I get on

I am also a member on Turmeric User Group on FB so been looking up nothing but Turmeric and Black Pepper for the past two days LOL

haha i'm on that turmeric FB group to!

I use extra virgin olive oil which is great for them anyway, plus it's getting another oil into their diet
