Turmeric use

There is real live data supporting the claims that curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) actually works to destroy melanoma cells…though mostly in the petri dish and mice:  http://chaoticallypreciselifeloveandmelanoma.blogspot.com/2014/02/for-melanomaeat-that-curryagain-we-just.html

I doubt that eating more curry, mustard, etc would harm anyone.  There are curcumin supplements you can buy as well and some have better absorption rates than others.  However, this report is a valid word of caution that perhaps we should all consider when adding alternative therapies to our medical treatment regimens:  http://chaoticallypreciselifeloveandmelanoma.blogspot.com/2016/05/combining-alternative-and-conventional.html

Whatever you decide…I wish you and your husband well.  Celeste

1 capsule per day   Puritan's Pride turmeric curcumin 500mg

Did it help me? I don't know. My oncologist said no and not to take it 

to skewer the clinical trial. When you are fighting for your life you will definetly do

what you feel is best for you. Best wishes for both of you.

I've used tumeric for joint inflammation for a couple of years now. I didn't want to take the heavy doses of anti-inflammatory medicine the rhumatologist prescribed, so I tried natural ways. Always ask his doctor before adding another supplement/natural remedy to his list. Do some research on how much to take and what brands of supplements are good. I just buy high quality tumeric powder and put it in orange juice or smoothies. I add black pepper since it helps in the absorption of the curcumin. 

This website has a lot of info about tumeric and some brands that are good:

It seems to help with my joint inflammation, probably not as much as a strong NSAID, but it's a nice alternative. I don't know about it fighting melanoma or cancer in general. I don't really go for the full natural cancer fighting remedy stuff. But, for joint problems, it's definitely an option.

Here’s an article from Tufts Medical center about chronic inflammation: http://now.tufts.edu/articles/body-fire

I’ve told my oncologist that I’m taking turmeric and he didn’t flinch. Many here have asked their doctors, and they have positive things to say about the benefits of Turmeric. Make sure you take one with black pepper, as it helps to increase absorption. I take the “Dr. Recommended” brand, but there are lots out there.

Best of luck to you and your hubby!

Just wanted to pass this information along. My brother was on BRAF/MEK twice, each time he had a wonderful 16 month run. We were told by his medical team not to take Tumeric supplements as they did not know the effects on the drugs. Also on one of the Cancer websites it also advise against taking the tumeric supplements while on cancer drugs.

I suffer from a long term lower back problem and have stopped taking tablets for the pain, and the turmeric appears to be a much better alternative. I use turmeric for about a year. And I had no more inflammatory issues. I put in about everything I cook, even in sweets and salads. It would work quicker if we add black pepper with the whole ground turmeric. It’s pretty difficult to get whole turmeric. I buy it from horton spice mills ( http://www.hortonspicemills.com/listing.php?pid=69 ).
