Great article on Chrerries easing arthritis pain. They have the same propertieis that anti inflammatory meds do...plus a great benefit to eating cherries for pain is there are no side effects like you get from the OTC meds or perscribed meds.

Cherries Might Ease Arthritis Pain
More than 20 million Americans have arthritis and relief from the pain may be growing on trees.
Kim Adair fights a daily battle with the aches and pains of arthritis.
"With 10 being the worst, I would say it's about a 7 or 8," said Adair.
But she recently found relief in a study at Baylor on the pain-relieving properties of cherries.
"They have a lot of the same properties that common anti-inflammatory medicines like ibuprofen or naproxen will have," said Dr. John Cush, a rheumatologist.
Adair took gel caps containing cherry extract.
"I think about maybe three months, I didn't notice any pain at all," Adair said.
"Overall, about five out of six patients did very well in the study," Cush said.
Cherries: A Natural Alternative
As soon as the study ended and Adair stopped taking the gel caps her aches and pains returned.
So, she started eating cherries and drinking cherry juice.
The benefits of tart cherries are found in fresh, frozen, canned or juice forms of cherries. High levels of anthocyanins are found in both tart and sweet cherries
Tart cherries are very rich sources of anthocyanins whereas sweet cherries have lower amounts
Montmorency and Balaton varieties are 2 kinds of Tart Cherries
Even without overdoing it at the gym this last month, I've had a severely aching shoulder for a few days. Cherries sounds a lot better than drugs ~ as soon as I can get to the store, I'm there with the cherries!
How about if you eat a piece of tart cherry pie each day...will that help? lol
Notice lately everything goes back to pie?
Cherry Pie?
I'm all over that medication regime.
Of course, cherries are not a cure for arthritis, only a temporary relief from the pain that goes with it.
Certainly cherry pie can't hurt the condition. I'm thinking there is enough cherry in each slice of Cherry Pie to be considered a dose. Keep that in mind when you have a slice of Cherry Pie. Try not to overdose when you are treating your ailments with Cherry Pie.
