Many people claim to be suffering from pain but not any more. In a recent study at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas, five out of six patients said cherry extract provided significant pain relief.
Relief for some 20 million arthritis suffers may be growing on trees.
"They have a lot of the same properties that common anti-inflammatory medicines like ibuprofen or naproxen will have," said rheumatologist John Cush, M.D.
There is another possible benefit of treating pain with cherries. Many patients like the fact that they're natural and might keep them off prescription painkillers, which can have side effects.
Kim took cherry extract gelcaps, and said that in about three months she had no pain. When the study was over and Kim stopped taking the gelcaps, and her pain returned.
She says she is now seeing benefits from eating cherries and drinking cherry juice.
