Having suffered from various low-grade, but annoying, inflammatory symptoms for some time, I was motivated to give Kurk Vanilka a try. I wasn't really expecting anything momentous but, after a week, I observed a noticeable reduction in aches and pains. My wife is also now trying it. One thing that would have been useful; I ordered some for my 90 year old father but Googled drug interactions and saw a possible enhancement of anticoagulants being taken. As he is on that class of drug, I had to advise him of the potential risk and he stopped taking Kurk Vanilla ..... it would have been useful to see that somewhere in the advertising.
