Does Dr. Weil sell herbs such as turmeric? I am 74 with bad arthritis, overweight, unable to walk without a walker, wear a brace on my leg, and have lots of pain. I have been taking plain curcumin but it doesn t have black pepper. I read in Dr. Weil s column that it isn t absorbed without peperine or black pepper. My email address is: YYYY@YYYY P.S. If there is a cost to this, please ignore. Otherwise I would appreciate some insight. Thanks.
hithank you for providing the brief history of you.A thorough clinical examination is advised.As you are 74 and most of the functionality is reduced I will recommend you to undergo physical therapy.As in ageing the metabolism slows down and also the will be a lot of aches and pains along with weakness.In my clinical practice most geriatrics are recommended with physical therapy and they find a lot of difference in their overall health and functionality. They also get benefit by reduced pain, improved Cardiorespiratory endurance etc.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel
