Just wondering if anyone knows if Turmeric Force-Full Spectrum Turmeric is a good capsule. It doesn't seem to be working for me. It has been almost 2 weeks. Each tablet is 400mg. Is there any capsule that is recommended???

EC: What fillers does this brand contain? Turmeric powder bought in the grocery store in the spice section (or a large bag bought for a few dollars at an Indian grocer) is quite potent.

Turmeric force. new chapter. other ingred include extra virgin, maltodextrin, silica, and yellow beeswax. turmeric 400mg-80mg supercritical extract and 320 mg of ethanolic extract. I have read that maltodextrin can cause headaches. i have been fine but boil not going away. it is very very difficult for me to just take spice. I can't stand taste or texture. Thanks your your help. really appreciate this forum.

EC: Try reading up on Ted's remedies for boils and MRSA. You might find something helpful there.

to Steph from Messauga, Ca. Hello Steph, Did you know that you can purchase empty capsules and put the turmeric (Or any other substance) in them yourself, if you can't stand the taste otherwise. The little device for filling empty caps runs about $l3.00. You can find both on line. Probably be less than what you paid for that turmeric that isn't working. Another thing you can do for boils (& other infections) is good old epsom salts (magnesium sulfate). Just mix about l/4 cup of epsom salts to i pint of water as hot as you can stand to wring a wash cloth out in. Apply the epsom salts soaked wash cloth to the boil. Do this about 4 times a day and you will see it making a big difference about the second day. You will need to continue this until all redness (inflammation) & soreness is gone.

Looks like the Home-made turmeric capsules worked. I couldn't stand the taste of turmeric so I made my own. So far, so good!! Thanks for all the help and advice!

Tumeric works... I have been getting boils - usually on my leg...and once in a while on my neck. I got a nasty one on my face for the first time. I was going to see a Dr. for some antibiotics, but I drank the tumeric mixture along with heating the boil. It only took about a day for it to drain massively. Already it has flattened out and is healing. This really works! Thanks for your website!!!

Tumeric is healing my boil after using for only 1 day. I had a very painful boil in my groin area that made it almost impossible to walk. I went to wal-mart and bought Tumeric and started by taking 1 capsule with each meal. By the end of the day... i had forgotten that i even had a boil, the pain was completely gone and the boil is disappearing. Thank you all so much for suggesting tumeric.

About a month ago i came across this site. for the last 25 years i have had cystic acne probably genitic...I also suffered from boils around the nose. possibly MRSA or a staph infection! Anyways i read the forum and decided to apply some of the treatments. I first tried turmeric capsules and most recently turmeric powder with milk. I think the simple powder with milk is more effective...I also mixed a few drops of tea tree oil in vaseline and applied it to my nostrils with a cotton swab. At this point i still get the acne but the inflammation that goes along with the acne...has been reduced dramaticaly...thank you so much for providing this information!!!!

I tried the turmeric rememdy for boils. I just tried it for the first time yesterday, 8/7/08. I have a small boil on my inner thigh. Before taking the capsules my boil was very hard and round yet not painful or itchy. Today at approx. 3 p.m. CST, my boil is smaller in size. I can't say that this is directly due to the turmeric but it is smaller in size. Does not hurt to try. I will continue to take the turmeric for up to a week. I will give more feedback then.

I have had boils and severe acne since I was ten years old. I'm twenty five now. The boils spread from my face to my back and arms, and then to my thighs and other areas in that region. I was unable to find a remedy. It was very frustrating and painful. I discovered this website last year and have used several remedies successfully for other issues. One day I discovered the section on boils and saw that many people recomended turmeric. I started taking app. 7 capsules of turmeric every day. I purchased the capsules from Wal-Mart. They are very inexpensive. Within two weeks my face cleared up. It's been four weeks now and no new boils have appeared at any place on my body. I get compliments from friends and family asking what I did to clear my face up. The turmeric not only cleared up the boils but the acne as well.

I have suffered from boils for the first time in my life about a year ago. I was bitten by a spider on my back. The resulting infection caused me to run a fever, and it was several weeks before it finally went a away with the help of antibiotics and the doctor lancing it.

About 2 months later I started getting boils under my arms. since I had never had one before I didn't know what it was. I ended up going to the doctor and was put on meds once again. Funny thing is I didn't get them in the winter, only when the weather got warmer they came back. They didn't tell me there was a core that needed to come out before it would heal. Finally I decided the meds were a waste of time and money, so this spring the boils started showing up again. This time I decided to look for some different way of treating them. I found your site, I tried the tummeric and egg shell lining. It worked wonderfully, it has been 2 months now and it is still gone. Usually when one would open and drain , another one would immediately start to form somewhere else. This has not been the case. I am very pleased! Thank You!

I'm on my second day of the regimen and although the taste is a little gag inducing the first time around, my boil has reduced in size and the inflammation is slowly subsiding. My boil didn't burst yet and I don't think it's going to. Either way I can finally sit comfortably after 5 days. Thank you!!!!

i have had many boils in my life & about 2 yrs ago it started going through my grandkids like a house on fire, my youngest almost died from it, spent 8 days in intensive care.........i ended up getting it again from them, thus starting a huge cycle again, which i hadn't had to deal with in quite a while.......& because my health is not as good as it used to b, i caught the germ again...........it's a staff infection...........i have since then ran across this web site & with other investigation, found that candida surrounds staff & makes it very hard to get rid off.........anti-boitics may be able to help u get over the boil itself, but the staff stays in the body.........& since u said that sometimes u feel as if u r getting one again & the turmeric helps it stop, u probably still have the stuff floating around, waiting for a weak point in ur body, to attack u again...........well, if u fight candida, this site has great info about that, then killing the candida, or controlling it, will help u stop have those times where it starts again.........i think it's the body's way of trying to protect u from the ravages of staff, that can kill...............and then an over growth of candida has it's own special horrors...........after my own outbreak of boils, with many cycles of antibiotics, i had a number of times where it felt like i was getting more.........but since i started controlling the candida, i don't have them anymore..........i do take turmeric & it is a really strong anti-inflamitory & anti-oxident...............which is probably why it has helped u............try working on the candida, check out the symptoms of it, u might b surprised, i sure was.................it's pretty awful, in & of itself...........hope this helps, chris.....

I am a 24yr old black male. I have suffered from minor to severe boils for 3+ years now. I've been to the emergency room almost 10 times and was hospitalized for 3 days and given antibiotics through IV due to a large boil that covered most of my jaw area. I've had boils pretty much everywhere...inner thigh, inner buttocks, underarms, beard area. I've taken several antibiotics which have mostly helped with healing but no prevention (dicloxacillin, cephlex, ciprfloxacilin etc..). I was scared and ran tests (aids, cancer etc.) The doctors came to the conclusion that a have a chronic case of folliculitis. I could have saved thousands of dollars and extreme pain if I had found this site a long time ago. TURMERIC WORKS! I can't believe it, what are the doctors doing and why havent they picked up on it because I have seen 3 dermatologists and 3 different doctors...all had the same responses and recommendations for medication, which never successfully supressed my outbreaks. Never mentioning turmeric. I started taking the spice with water (which is the most disgusting f**king thing). Even when i do feel a sensitive area trying to form it usually goes away in 24-48 WITHOUT swelling and opening!!! If there's anyone that has experienced remotely to what I have with boils know how painful they are and how big they can get. Words cannot explain how happy I am that i found a SPICE that in my book has damn near cured my situation. Even scarring on my face from past boils is going away. Words cannot explain how happy I am. Also, in my case,i no longer eat spicy foods because I realized that after eating too much I would feel boils trying to form. If you've yet to try turmeric or have a boil right now and cant deal with the pain. I've found that taking alleve helps the most (muscle relaxer/pain reliever). WAY better than aspirin. So until I find this i dont need to take turmeric to prevent boils...I will be taking it forever.

Thank-you so much for your information and your honesty. My husband, Butch has had boils much of his life he has had them on his face and cut them out to get to the core. He has so many scars on his face. I will go today and start him on a turmeric spice or pill. Thank-you so much, God Bless you, Jamie

After reading the comments about turmeric and boils on your website, I bought a bottle of turmeric pills. I had a recurring boil and a couple of new boils at the time...well, within a few hours, the new ones were draining/getting smaller!!! It is now a few days later and my old boil is gone as are the other ones!!! thanks!!!

Ok....so I don't not believe in herbal remedies...but..... I really did not think the Tumeric would work for me. I had what I felt was staph and cystitis on my chin that would NOT go away..Literally for several months it would get a little better, then pop up again. It never went away.(didnt help that I kept picking at it!) Infection, weeping and scabbing. I bought Tumeric. I started on Wednesday night. I cleaned my face real good, put neosporin on the areas and took a capsule. I took 3 the next day, B-L-D; and on Friday...SWEAR TO YOU, it was 75% better....Today is Tuesday...not even a full week later and I and 95% better! I did get a new spot come up...but I think it is just some leftover stuff that will get out quickly too!!!! TRY IT!!!!

Turmeric for a boil... I had a boil that came back for the third time. Right on the rim of my a--. I mean deep in the crack right next to the rim. I thought it might be a hemroid the first time but realized it was a boil by the second. Each time is starts small but painful, and grows fast. Usually I have to wait for 4 or 5 days until it gets to a point where the pain is so bad I can barely move. I apply a hot compress for another day or so and finally when I think it i need to see the doc, it opens up and drains the foulest liquid on earth.

This time I researched on the web the 2nd day to see if there was something I could do at home to help. TURMERIC. I rushed to the market and got a $5 bottle of turmeric spice, powder form. Took a teaspoon at 8pm and another at midnight. didnt sleep much cause the boil growing like a volcano on steroids. Got worse all night, hot showers and hot compress. Another teaspoon at 9am and another at noon. 4 pm, I get up to heat some more water for my hot towel regiment and... Bamb... felt the instant relief drainage. I can only imagine the relief of a woman giving birth, but its close. I have never had a boil go through its cycle so fast, not even close. It did get worse for me until it came to a head but let me say that the amount of time, and pain, was soooo much faster. For me it accomplished in 24 hrs what has taken 3-6 days. 36 hours later, as I type this, I am pain free and feeling like a reborn soul. Thank You guys!!!

Make sure to take care of the boil post eruption. Antibacterial soap, neosporin or some king of antibacterial ointment, and a bandage. Keep doing this until it heals. This way you get a healing process from the inside out and will minimize the chances of reinfection.

My experience, my thoughts and my belief in turmeric... Hope you have the same results!!!!

I've had an excruciatingly painfull boil for about 5 days. After taking 1 teaspoon of turmeric 3 times a day, the boil has just open up started draining like you wouldn't believe. I can't believe how much puss has come out of my body, but it has relieved the shooting pain so much. I'm on day two taking the turmeric, and I feel so much better already.
