US source for used 30L barrel?

[Guest]

Not 80 dollars new from Harmony or Amazon.

The last time I bought a 30L barrel it was from a seller of used barrels and it was more like 30 bucks. For fifty bucks I would drive a ways to pick on up.

Ebay and craigslist

I didn't realize they were up to $80. I think when I bought mine (new) a couple years ago it was $50-60 at Midwest Mountaineering in Minneapolis. I bought my 60L used a couple years before that for around $30 on Ebay.

I bought a 60l blue barrel from this guy a few years ago. Definitely had tumeric in it originally and I scrubbed the heck out of it. Still has the smell, but it has diminished over time. Probably better than an ABS smell. I keep the barrel open when not in use.

By the way, mine had 3 little holes drilled just below the lid into the barrel itself. I'm assuming they couldn't get the lid off because of air pressure. I plugged the holes with plastic shavings and epoxy.

Barrel alert!!! I just looked on Craigslist and for the Long Island folks there is this offering. He says they are 9 gallon which converts to just over 30L

$4 bucks a barrel $3 bucks if you buy ten or more. It's too far for me to jump in the car (it's about an hour twenty away) but I would buy two or three if someone was closer and could get them. I would then pick them up at a later date.
PM me if anyone is interested.

According to Mike McDIY's local University of Maryland Medical Center,

"Research suggests that turmeric may be helpful for the following conditions:

[h=3]Indigestion or Dyspepsia[/h]

Curcumin stimulates the gallbladder to produce bile, which some people think may help improve digestion. The German Commission E, which determines which herbs can be safely prescribed in Germany, has approved turmeric for digestive problems. And one double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that turmeric reduced symptoms of bloating and gas in people suffering from indigestion.

[h=3]Ulcerative colitis[/h]
Turmeric may help people with ulcerative colitis stay in remission. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease of the digestive tract where symptoms tend to come and go. In one double-blind, placebo-controlled study, people whose ulcerative colitis was in remission took either curcumin or placebo, along with conventional medical treatment, for 6 months. Those who took curcumin had a significantly lower relapse rate than those who took placebo.

[h=3]Stomach Ulcers[/h]
Turmeric does not seem to help treat stomach ulcers. In fact, there is some evidence that it may increase stomach acid, making existing ulcers worse. (See "Precautions" section.)

[h=3]Osteoarthritis[/h]
Because of turmeric's ability to reduce inflammation, researchers have wondered if it may help relieve osteoarthritis pain. One study found that people using an Ayurvedic formula of herbs and minerals with turmeric, winter cherry (Withinia somnifera), boswellia (Boswellia serrata), and zinc had less pain and disability. But it's impossible to know whether turmeric, one of the other supplements, or all of them together, was responsible for the effects.


[h=3]Heart Disease[/h]
Early studies suggested that turmeric may help prevent atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque that can block arteries and lead to heart attack or stroke. In animal studies, an extract of turmeric lowered cholesterol levels and kept LDL (bad) cholesterol from building up in blood vessels. Because it stops platelets from clumping together, turmeric may also prevent blood clots from building up along the walls of arteries. But a double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that taking curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, at a dose of up to 4 g per day did not improve cholesterol levels.

[h=3]Cancer[/h]
There has been a great deal of research on turmeric's anti-cancer properties, but results are still preliminary. Evidence from test tube and animal studies suggests that curcumin may help prevent or treat several types of cancers, including prostate, breast, skin, and colon cancer. Tumeric's preventive effects may relate to its antioxidant properties, which protect cells from damage. More research is needed. Cancer should be treated with conventional medications. Don't use alternative therapies alone to treat cancer. If you choose to use complementary therapies along with your cancer treatment, make sure you tell all your doctors.

[h=3]Bacterial and Viral Infections[/h]
Test tube and animal studies suggest turmeric may kill bacteria and viruses, but researchers don't know whether it would work in people.

[h=3]Uveitis[/h]
A preliminary study suggests curcumin may help treat uveitis, an inflammation of the eye's iris. Preliminary research suggests that curcumin may be as effective as corticosteroids, the type of medication usually prescribed. More research is needed.

[h=3]Neurodegenerative Conditions[/h]
Tumeric's powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and circulatory effects may help prevent and treat neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and other conditions."

Holy Moly, if I simply switched from my Duluth pack to one of these tumeric barrels, I would probably feel and become 30 years younger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
