Went off road snow riding yesterday. The trail was greasy as the temps were in the high teens low twenties making it slippery out there. Went down hard 4 times and figured today would be a day of pain. Got the end of a 2inch stick jammed into my right thigh breaking the skin (broke the stick, too!).

Woke up this morning with no soreness in my bones or muscles. Only thing hurting is the injury from the stick. I feel great! At 53 years of age that is saying something after the hard hits from yesterday.

An additional benefit seems to be my immune system functioning much better. My wife, son, daughter all got the flu on Christmas break, but I did not. They also all have been fighting head and chest colds, but not me as of yet. Used to get sick at the drop of a hat, but since starting this tumeric thing, I have been very healthy. Also seems to curb my appetite a bit.

Thought you all would like to know.
