curcumin is wonderful!

[Guest guest]

I'm really curious now about the source that says bioperine is useless, other than a site which sells it without. " may need to take at least 3.6g of curcumin to achieve anticancer

effect; up to 12 grams of curcumin has been used in clinical practice

and in research; " [Dr.] Aggarwal notes that clinical studies have found

that a daily dose of up to 12 grams (about a tablespoon) a day for

three months is safe " (for more info, www.breastcancerchoices.org/curcumin.html).

Generally " no side effects [from] high doses of Curcumin; rare cases of

stomach upset or diarrhoea may be resolved by temporarily reducing the

dosage and taking with food….Do not use Curcumin if you suffer from

gallstones or a blocked bile duct " ; I would particularly take at the

time of surgery (and for at least a month afterward), since it's

antimetastatic; curcumin's synergistic w/genistein (in fermented soy),

green tea, & bromelain. According to Keith Block, M.D. (2009),

curcumin's indicated for almost all cancer patients in almost all

situations (see exceptions below). Curcumin's especially effective

w/ER+ breast cancer (www.herbalfields.com/c7.html)

; curcumin's not very bioavailable, but taking it w/(bio)piperine makes

it 2000% more bioavailable; use good brand (e.g., New Chapter,

Zyflamend, Source Naturals)www.cancerres.aacrjournals.org/contents-by-date.0.shtml (abstract 62/13/3868) " Bharat

Aggarwal [from] M.D. Anderson...reporting that curcumin blocks most of

the mechanisms by which prostate cancer cells survive and grow...`The

potential is unlimited,' says Aggarwal….clinical studies [on] curcumin

in treating colorectal cancer and multiple myeloma....studies have

found that a daily dose of up to 12 grams (about a tablespoon) [of

turmeric] a day for three months is safe " www.alternet.org/healthwellness/79774/?page=entirewww.lef.org/magazine/mag2002/jul2002_report_curcumin_01.html
