Re: Nutrition, exercise, and inflammation

Hi Morgan,
I have to admit that I am very conservative when it comes to mixing herbs/supplements with prescription medications and/or chemotherapy. I looked for problems with Arimidex and the anti-inflammatory blend you have been taking. It does not appear they use the same metabolic pathway but that is not a certainty. That is often the issue-we just don't know enough about certain herbs to provide certainty of their safety in combination with conventional medicine. I am glad you've had such a positive response with regards to your joint pain-especially on Arimidex. I suspect much of this benefit probably comes from the tumeric. You might try tumeric alone or combined with Omega-3's-if appropriate in your case. I would be concerned about the Boswellia because there are very limited studies available.

Hope that helps.
