Dr. Myers on curcumin (turmeric)

http://askdrmyers.wordpress.com/?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRonuqTJZKXonjHpfsXw7uUsT%2F%3Cstrong%3E%3C/strong%3Ern28M3109ad%2BrmPBy%2B2IYHWoEnZ9mMBAQZC81x0gNLDuGBeYZP6OBQ

Dr. Myers is on board with the fact that Curcumin is showing results in slowing the growth of prostate cancer. In his words "he is somewhat late to the party". When word began to come out about the effects of curcumin on cancer he at first was not convinced and kind of pooh-poohed it.

My wife has been taking it for 6 years. It was recommended to her by her Stem Cell Tansplant doc at MD Anderson. MD Anderson has been doing quite a lengthy list of clinical trials with curcumin for some time now. Dr. Myers referenced these studies in his video as one of the reasons he prescribes it to his patients now. He has seen good results using it in conjunction with resveratrol on advanced PCa patients. Especially in the area of slowing doubling time.

I recently added it to my list of supplements in conjunction with my new lifestyle and way of eating.

The video is worth watching in my opinion.

RCS,

Tried to find your email and there is none shown. My email is listed. I would be glad to talk with you about supplements and lifestyle via email.

I fear that supplements, exercise and dietary changes still elicit debates that quickly get out of control here.

Hey Sonny,

I think I have set up my profile so the email address shows.  I had not known that you could do that. 

I look forward to hearing about your supplements and lifestyle changes.  From your posts over the years, I know you research these things very thoroughly.  Thanks.

Dreamerboy,

Thanks for the post, this is one I wasn't familiar with. Seems to be enough positive feedback on it to warrant adding it to my supplement list. I know alot of folks fear the disease, but I fear the treatment alot more, so I'm willing to give anything that might delay treatment a chance.

Thanks again.

Dave

cut and paste worked for me.

thanks sonny.  my pills are 400mg so maybe i'll start out with one a day.  i'm going to have to get a bigger weekly pill holder because mine is maxed out!

Tumeric can upset your stomach and interfere with other drugs and supplements so you need to be careful how you take it.. Best by itself with a meal...If you are taking calcium, those work best taken at bedtime, not breakfast..

Please, don't ask me how I know these things..
