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

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.

As for research on tart cherry extract, much of it seems to come from universities in Michigan (go figure, since cherries are a major crop in Michigan!).  That leads one to wonder how "independent" the results are.  There also seems to be limited information of interaction effects between the extract and other medications.  (I guess I'll ask my doc about it next week since I already have an appointment.)

Since a lot of scientists make their money by debunking what other scientists have declared you're likely in good shape.  Hooray for science and peer review!  With budgets & funding going the way they have it's dog-eat-dog out there for the smartest & most educated people in the country.

The doc calls his nurse into the office and asks me one simple question: "Are you allergic to poison ivy?"

My simple answer was: "Hell yes!"

He replied, "Good!"  Then he instructs Nurse Jane to "grab the brown bottle", which she does & hands it to him.  Then the doc starts lathering my feet with this dark brown fluid.

"What's up, Doc?"

"I'm giving you a very mild case of poison ivy, young man."

"The hell you say!" says I.  "I get that crap really bad!!"

"Well, that's probably a good thing and, yes, I am," he states & proceeds to inform me that - in about 50% of the cases - persons who are allergic to poison ivy will LOSE THEIR WARTS when their body deals with the poison ivy.  "We don't exactly know WHY it works but it does often work," he concludes.

About one week later my warts - the plague of my life for 2-3 years - were completely gone.  They have been gone ever since.

Moral of the story: if you have a bad case of Planters Warts, consider going straight to "Plan B" on your own.  You might just save yourself a $200 doctor visit by simply walking barefoot through a local patch of poison ivy.


Jimbo   Cool


Jimbo, you really need to work a pollyhumper into that story somehow.  Wink

I find it humorous and creepy that the ad that appears at the bottom everytime I access this thread is for tart black cherry extract.

Solotripper, can you work "nubile" into this thread a few dozen times so we can see what else pops up?  Depending on what it is, that could be a poor choice of words...

Hey buy one get one free! Funny thing is ads are rather personalized. Freaks me out sometimes too. I blame it on where certain computers have been.

Snow_Dog -

WHERE THE HECK DO YOU THINK THAT AWFUL CASE OF WARTS CAME FROM?

P.S.  Lucky I still have my foot left after that harrowing encounter....

"Nubile", Tart Cherry Extract?
Sounds like a all girl Punk Band  Wink

In all seriousness, taking alternative medicines ( foods/herbs) isn't something you do without some diligent research. Most but not all have a long history and there effectiveness is well documented.

For those that think only double blind studies by real scientists are the Gold Standard, remember their the same people that convicted the FDA to put many of the drugs on the market that were later pulled after they were found to be dangerous and even life threatening.

I'll take my chance's with things like Tart Cherry extract any day over hyped drugs from a drug company with the list of possible side effects as long as your arm Shocked

I check with my doctor today ... I should be good to go with tart cherry extract.

She also mentioned that I might try turmeric (yes, its the seasoning sometimes associated with curry).  It is also supposed to be a pain reliever (however, I'd already ruled this one out due to its documented interaction with blood thinner medication).  Interestingly enough, it appears that turmeric is more readily absorbed by the human body if it is used in conjunction with pepper.  So curry up everyone!!!
