Once again The Daily Mail proves that it is the worst edited rag on two continents. She didn’t scarf down yellow turmeric by the spoonful, she plunked down fifty Pounds a week for tablets made of a different substance.
I’ve been using Turmeric too.
I think it is great
I have a side effect that it swells up the side of my face (lymph nodes?)
I’ve read of many benefits of curcumin. I know it is a very effective anti-inflammatory which is good for blood pressure and the heart. As I understand it, the primary ingredient blocks cancer cells from being able to absorb energy from sugar. In effect, it causes them starve and die while not impacting healthy cells. But I’m not a doctor. This is just what I’ve seen in my casual research.
I take tumeric daily for my osteoarthritis. We buy organic tumeric online by the pound and put it in gelcaps. I have not taken advil in over a year. It works like a charm and is supposed to deter cancer.
Thanks for posting this !

I take turmeric for my arthritis and it’s really helped
Another thread on the topic (turmeric mentioned):

I have been taking it for a little over a week, and have noticed a definite improvement.
Ping!
Ping!
50 pounds is downright cheap compared to typical medical treatments.
I have no first hand reports on its cancer fighting though the Chinese say it is excellent for this. But check it out via internet and The Health Ranger, the ancient Chinese herb ASTRAGALUS. Bulk Supplements sells direct and at Amazon in a concentrated form. An extract. I have some for general health. It is also an A1 inflammation fighter.
Cost is about $37 per kilogram of extract powder. An amazing price. Amazon feedback is excellent. Don’t waste $$$ on astragalus capsules.
If you get on bulksupplements.com email list they are always offering 10% off and free shipping for orders over $50

Not enough information on exactly what is being taken—8 grams of powdered curcumin, which is the pigment in Tumeric? How much enters the blood as active material? Is per-emptive use a better option, than last resort?

As said, there are ways of enhancing absorption of curcumin by compounding with other ingredients. Here is one supplier that is often recommended.
“Terry Naturally’s CuraMed is a blend of three targeted ingredients that is believed to promote the body’s healthy internal response. This tissue-support formula includes curcumin (BCM-95), phospholipids and turmeric essential oil. BCM-95 is a scientifically researched, highly absorbable curcumin formula. Study results showed blood levels of BCM-95 at 10 times the levels of other curcumin products two hours after ingestion.”
Anyone not taking this supplement would be a fool. I take a big capsule of it almost daily, it’s so big I have to juggle which pills to take when. There is too much evidence for too long re its benefits. I don’t know what positive things it might be doing for me personally, but I want to stay healthy.
This is the one I take.
Thanks for the interesting thread, RB.
