Supposed to be! However you have to eat the bright red ones, the tart ones. The extracts and cherry juice used to be made from the dark cherries...and this may be the difference.
The tart cherries are used to make pies. These Montmorency dried cherries are VERY tart (sour) and that is why some sugar is added. They are similar to a Jolly Rancher candy. My doctor says as we age we get slower saliva, and if you have a sour thing twice a day it helps the glands flow better. Otherwise you risk stones developing in them, which is very painful and requires surgery. So this is another benefit too. These give the feeling of a "sweet" and are satisfying without continuing to eat them... a small blast of flavor. But I will confess that first day, they were SO good I did a little binge on them. LOL They are nice in salads too.

I love the dried tart cherries. And once a year, will make sour cherry tart when they're in season. I even went so far as to plant a sour cherry tree two years ago. It yields a small amount of cherries. I have to fight the birds for them though.

Mrs D: Did you find that the cherries helped with your neuropathy (Small-Fiber, in my case), or did it just help with old fashioned arthritis inflamation? Thanks! David |

That's great Stacy2012. I have found alpha-lipoic acid & evening primrose oil to help my pain.
FYI--I have a book called Foods That Fight Pain, Neal D. Barnard, M.D., which says that there are two natural fats from plants that have anti-inflammatory properties: The first is alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is found in several foods, but in concentrated form in flaxseeds and flaxseed oil. You can ground flaxseed and add to salads, oatmeal, cereal, smoothies, or lots of other foods without even knowing it's there. This is in the omega-3 family of fatty acids, and is also found in fish oil. The second is called gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is much rarer. It is found in borage oil, evening primrose oil, black currant oil, and hemp oil. I can't figure out why evening primrose oil helps with my PN, but I have tried borage oil and couple of times, which had more GLA, and it did not help the same way. Ron |

I am still improved. I never dreamed I would lay outside in 83 degree weather in the sun ever again, but since taking these pills I can. I still have to have my little portable battery fan pointed at my feet and keep water or biofreeze on them but still....the fact that I can do it at all is a miracle.
I still get burning if I am in warm temperature or walking a lot, like shopping is still impossible however it is truly improved by 80% in every other aspect. I can tell a difference when I don't take the second pill during the day. So for me, this supplement has moved to the very top of my list. The burping fish oil is gone. |
