I live in Michigan and our economy is in the tank...so I say drink up!  Every little bit helps.   ;)

Actually, I have used it in the past and quite frankly came to enjoy the taste.  Personally, I'm not a medication guy and just prefer things to be less processed.  At the time I started using it, I was having issues with my knees.  I used it for pain relief and reduced imflamation.  I didn't feel better right away,but with consistant rehab and a bit of time, I haven't had a problem since. I run 4 days a week, which isn't so good on the kness.

As a result, I can't say that it was the Cherry Juice, the rehab exercises or the supplemental ibuprofen.  It was probably a combination of everything. 

So if your doctor doesn't have a problem with it, why not try it?  You might find something that really works for you and our farmers will be grateful.
