Cherries the natural pain killer, Yes I did say cherries.  

It is a pity that we can only have it in spring. Usually I buy cherries for my wife who love it very much. I don't have it because it is so small and I like big fruits such as peach. I will buy more cherries and try to share cherries with my wife next spring.

Yes I remember reading about cherries a while ago. The thing I remember is that they said to eat a bag of cherries a day to get rid of gout - I remembered that as I knew someone who had had gout but had to take lots of drugs to get rid of it.

I will try and eat more cherries - I think it is better to eat them fresh than cooked to get the nutrients from it though. Even though they will taste lovely cooked, especially in your nice recipe!

No I did not know and I love Cherries, the only Yoghurts I will eat are Cherry ones, and when I buy the fresh Cherries well they never last lol I will eat them all in one Day as I just love them and can not leave them alone but it is good to know this

such an interesting and informative lil discussion here. i knew i liked cherries and all.. even have a cherry tree that had a bumpercrop this year.. but i had no idea they were THIS good for you, so thanx !!

Sounds delish. I love cherries anyway. I didn't know they were natural pain relievers! Hmmm. I'll have to start eating more of them. I just wish they were always available. I bet there are extracts you can get.

I'm very sorry Bella. I have to differ with you. Cherries can cause immense pain. Let me tell you a story. When I was a boy we lived in a cul de sac. At the top of the road there was a bungalow with the most beautiful cherry trees that in summer ripened sweet, red, juicy fruit. However, the people that lived in the house were not exactly delighted that the children in the road wanted to relieve them of their crop and used to dissuade us from knocking the cherries down by shouting and chasing us off. So we got wise. I was sent up the tree to remove as many ripe cherries as I could. Whilst down below someone caught them in a basket. Up I went and down came the cherries. So vigorous was I that I fell out of the tree too. Hurting myself quite badly as I fell. From out of his house came the owner who promptly picked me up and escorted me home to my mother. She set about my backside with her wooden spoon once she heard the story. No Bella, cherries do not relieve pain. Just cause it! LOL.

Cherries! They are also great anti-inflammatory I hear! Kind of like advil! I have used it to treat tendinitis of mine, and I think it has worked! I love cherries, and try to keep some around all the time!

I love cherries!
and yes I did know about the benifits of eating them
did you know.....?
that tea made from the bark of a black cherry tree can kill a person?
really!!! the bark contains natural arsenic and if brewed just right is lethal

minus me please, thanks

I already liked cherries, but I didn't know all of those interesting facts about them. I doubt I will up my cherry intake as they are really rather expensive and I do not particularly suffer from any of the things you mentioned.

My mom uses cherries for arthritis. It works, stiff joints and other pain she has she swears by it.
