How I manage my symptoms. (It has worked very well for 10 years now)
My doctors misdiagnosed my condition for most of my adult life. It had progressed to stage II while I was still in my 20's and flare-ups became quite regular. It was affecting every aspect of my life and doctors kept prescribing antibiotics and diagnosing me with bacterial infections.
I got an infection and it progressed to sepsis (MRSA) while I was in my 30's. It lasted for 7 months and almost killed me so I really started researching what my underlying condition is. I found out that I have HS by reading on Internet forums.
I set out to find ways to manage symptoms and tried countless things over the years. I started taking high doses of turmeric pills with black pepper and the golf ball sized lesions would shrink to grape size. I then began taking high doses of turmeric tincture and it would shrink the lesions to pea sized. I ran out of the expensive tincture I was taking and the lesions came raging back so I went online and bought a cheap version in a last ditch effort to manage as I was working in 100 F heat everyday, extremely fatigued and desperate at this point.
I bought a full spectrum liquid turmeric with piperine (black pepper) extract. It completely shrunk all lesions. I take one full dropper per day and have only had one or two very minor relapses in 10 years. The relapses occured when I was sick with something else (cold, flu, etc.). I took 2 droppers full during these times and the lesions cleared right up. At all other times it is like I don't even have HS at all.
I've met several people with HS over this past 10 years that I've recommended Full Spectrum liquid Turmeric with piperine to. So far, they've all experienced the same relief that I have. Curcumin alone does not offer us the same relief that this preparation does.
It is a spagyric preparation which gets into alchemy if one wants to learn about that sort of thing. The unbelievable effectiveness of the product led me to really do some deep dives on the subject. Let's just say alchemy is not at all what my earlier impressions of it were as it gets into philosophical, spiritual and physical. Without going much deeper down this rabbit hole, I'll leave everyone to do their own research.
