Honestly the yucca stalk seemed to increase my appetite so I had to back off of its use. Thankfully I researched the Resveratrol in that supplement and discovered it is an extremely effective phytochemical for DDD pain. In fact, they are now discovering that it likely works by interrupting the inflammatory chemicals that can cause all kinds of physical degeneration, not just DDD. The Aloe Juice has been very helpful and I started low and slow on the methylated folate and methylated cobalamin (not folic acid or cobalamin/B12---if you have trouble with multi's it's most likely that you have an MTHFR gene mutation and your body treats un-activated or unmethylated folic acid as a 'toxin' causing more inflammation; you MUST use methylfolate and methyl cobalamin to get around this problem because you have to have it for hundreds of repair jobs in the body).

Again, my inflammation is under control because I'm using Aloe Juice, methylated folate (methyl-folate) and methylated cobalamin (methyl-cobalamin) from Seeking Health along with 3 divided doses of resveratrol (LifeExtension brand) with 250 mg at each meal. My activity level has dramatically increased as all of my joint paint is gone and my appetite is more like it was in my youth...no carb cravings. My cardio blood tests are stellar as well, though that's not surprising given the oft reported cardio benefits of resveratrol. And oddly enough a recent serious issue with silicone allergies I developed was causing my skin to peel off my nose every day---that issue is now gone---and I don't mean gradually. (Btw, I use a silicone CPAP mask nightly.) Within days of starting the consistent 3 divided doses a day, it stopped peeling. If I miss a dose, the nose skin will chafe and redden. If I miss 2 in a day, chafes reddens and it peels on at least one side. If I miss all of them, the peeling begins anew on both sides and is severe again.

An aside, I also take 1 Vitamin D/K combo from LifeExtension each evening. I always have done this. Turns out that the D3 is necessary in combination to work with the resveratrol.
