Here are the links to the videos I mentioned about tart pie cherries: Tart Cherries for Insomnia (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/tart-cherries-for-insomnia/) and Reducing Muscle Soreness with Berries (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/reducing-muscle-soreness-with-berries/).

Here are two ways I incorporate cherries into my diet:
Pink Juice with Green Foam (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pink-juice-with-green-foam/) and Healthy Chocolate Milkshakes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/healthy-chocolate-milkshakes/).

Other studies in which anti-inflammatory drugs were compared natural dietary remedies include:
Turmeric Curcumin and Osteoarthritis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-osteoarthritis/) and Turmeric Curcumin and Rheumatoid Arthritis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-rheumatoid-arthritis/).
