  1. I love articles like this but they never tell you the dosage, for different stuff. I have a whole bottle of organic and the capsules but I don't don't know how much to take.

    1. YOU SHOULD take 1/4 tsp. with any warm/hot food – no salads or cold foods.- it is better the food to have some fat: oil since it is better absorbed. eating to much turmeric can affect your liver (in some people) so watch out -(can have liver enzyme test). In India have been used for centuries to treat cancer and other illnesses. Improves immune system, helps with arthritis, etc etc…

  2. In the book "The Prevention of all Cancers" the author

    Hulda Regehr Clark, Ph.D. lists 30 references to Tumeric in the Index.

  3. As far as dosage goes, I don't think it really matters to follow a specific dosage. When I am sick with a cold or flu or anything similar, I take huge amounts of vitamin c. The key is to introduce it to your system in large doses, giving your body the stuff it desperately needs. I'm willing to bet the reason no dosages were specified was because no dosage is needed. Just consume a lot of it.

    1. Same here re the vitamin C and colds/flus. I start taking massive doses of vit-C at the first hint of symptoms and have not had an obvious symptom of an actual cold or flu for about 25 years now.

  4. Turmeric is a FOOD, some cultures use spoonfuls a day, curcumin is the active ingredient if you are interested look it up. Last time I did there were 125 university studies on curcumin with very favourable results for many ailments.

    I have been treating a PSA of ninety five over three years ago with alternatives,including turmeric, refusing a biopsy as that spreads it (look it up) Conventional treatments, by long term studies, are no better than no action for prostate cancer.

    I have no symptoms now, and the tumour has receded, but the catch 22 is if I survive another two years, for medicine that is considered a cure, but I cannot claim that as it was never diagnosed as cancer (although a PSA of 20 is given an 80% likelihood of cancer).

    That is why you won't find cancer cures by alternatives in the literature, if they weren't diagnosed by biopsy they were 'never' cancer. If they were, the biopsy would spread cancer cells, which is why chemo. is generally the immediate rush, to kill the cancer cells released into the bloodstream, then the claim is that the patient had chemo, and that was the 'cure'.

    everyones body is different. some don't need to take as much as others. figure out what your body needs 🙂

  6. Interesting Article and Tumeric does work alongside a natural healthy eating style.

    Fruit and Vegetable diet cutting out sugars and certain food such as meat and dairy.

    I have just come through two yrs of C situation with my sons father. Bowel C that went on to Liver C, that spread to both lungs.

    HE did have nine months chemo by the way, but, we started on the greens by way of homemade soup using only fresh vegetables straight away to combat the effects of the chemo.

    Mostly green and with most of all the other types.

    He drank the soup three times a day.

    The antioxidents definatly do go a way to helping cleanse the body.

    He still adheres to a healthy diet, exercise by way of walking. Drinking only green tea and takes no sugar in any form.

    He has been in remmision for the past 6months, and the doctors are a little surprised

    by his progress.

    The comment made, we don't know what you'r doing, but, what ever it is… keep doing it.

    Tumeric… cayene pepper and cinammon are all good for the blood and circulation.

    Great to read this article and best wishes to all who consider changing their diet and lifestyle to combat illness.

    I also used a lot of Onions when making the soup… Cancer does not like sweet… Pickled onions and all pickled foods, vinegar and applecider vinegar alongside Lemon, all make for an alkaline environment.

    The tumeric is great used in a mild chicken or fish curry sauce… or vegetable curry.

    We definatly found out the hard way, you are what you eat.

    I wanted to take more turmeric than I could eat in food and found this video on filling gel caps with the powder. Easy as pie, no equipment to buy and make 100 in less than an hour and costs about 3 cents per cap filled. I add black pepper to make the turmeric work better. Here is the address

    but if that is not allowed on this site go to youtube and search "sutlaf and turmeric gel caps". Be healthy!

  8. For those who want some dosage info. Everyone is different, you have to know your limits. For example, I can eat all kind of peanut products, as much as I want. Some people got a life-threatening allergic reaction to just the smell of peanut on the dining table.

    I know some people swear they will gain weight if they touch bread, or sweet food. I can eat all the sweet food, all the breads all day long for weeks and months at a time, I won't gain weight. The thing is, I often skip meals without problems, and I won't over-eat. I have hardly eaten much meat products (compare to others I've seen around me).

    Some people can drink milk all day, on the other hand, I have a terrible time with plain Milk. but not so bad with ice-cream, milk-shake, sweet-breads with milk…

    As for tumeric, the Indian people eat curry dishes just about every meal. That's right, tumeric is part of the "curry dishes". I don't make anyone eat curry food, but you should know that those Indian people don't measure the tumeric in-take dosage at all. I also don't claim that Indian people are cancer-free in anyway.

    By the way, tumeric isn't the only thing either. There are many other info out there. Try searching youtube for

    Cancer the forbidden cure

    also, look at various related videos there. Lots of info to absorb. Do your own research.

    Curcumin, the yellow pigment in Turmeric, increases the rate of apoptosis for a given concentration of TNF (Tumour Necrosis Factor). In simple terms, it makes cells more sensitive to the "kill cancer" signal molecule.

    As well as making a given level of TNF result in a higher rate of cancer cell death, a useful side-effect is that background levels of TNF (presumably maintained to kill randomly mutated cells before they can become cancerous) become lower as less TNF is needed to weed out mutant cells. This results in less TNF-mediated damage to healthy cells including brain cells. This is consistent with the lower incidence of dementia in cultures that consume a lot of Turmeric, especially in conjuntion with black Pepper, which greatly increases the bio-availability of curcumin.

  10. Be advised that you should consult your Physician if you want to try turmeric as it is a natural blood thinner. Those who are already on anticoagulant medications can thin their blood too much which can cause other ailments you do not want.

    Turmeric may not bode well for some cancers. Bladder cancer for one. Tumors in the bladder can cause blood to pool in the urine, which will form into clots, and cause extreme pain when trying to pass them and/or block urine passage completely. Turmeric will thin the blood and create more bleeding and form some clots larger than silver dollars.

    Your Urethra is not meant to pass that kind of object.

    Do your research before trying natural or orthodox medicines and you will be much better off. Some work, some don't, and each persons scenario can be unique.

    Cheers.

  11. Turmeric is easy to take in water, doesn't taste bad at all. You have to put it in the glass before you add the water, or else the powder likes to stay on top. As it is fat soluble, also take some good fish or other oil capsules, a spoonful of coconut oil, some avocado, whatever.

    Buy certified organic turmeric from the bulk section of a health food store -it is way cheaper than the same purchased in bottles. Transfer to glass at home, as it seems to react with plastic bags after a while, creating a strange oiliness on the outside of the bag.

    It's probably about a 1/2 tsp to a tsp I put in there everyday, or 2x/day, as a tonic and preventative. To you troll-types above, who like to attack with stupid questions (what do you think this page is – the ultimate guide to the cure??) -you would have to research what the proportion of curcumin is in the powdered root, and what would be considered a therapeutic dose by those who claim success, and go from there.

  12. I really appreciate it that the Natural Society gives space to comments like these. It's difficult to find many people (neighbours, acquaintances, friends) who are interested in this kind of discussion. General attitudes tend to be polarised, but I've learnt a lot by reading your postings.

    Thanks y'all.

    Some people think that just because a person hasn't gotten an education on medicine through a college that their voice on the subject has no merit. Anyone who chooses to read and do medical research for years can obtain more information on health than Many of the docors who "practice" medicine. Not to say that there are not many great doctors. I'm sure there are plenty doctors who take all kinds of natural herbs and supplements (including turmeric) but would never divulge that information to their patients–knowing, full-well, that they are inhibiting cancer from forming. Do your homework. It can save your life!

  14. This is an spice used in Indian cooking… therefore it is very simple to follow.. just see the recipes. It is also used as medicine mixed with other herbs and plants… by doctors in herbal med. (in the orient)

  15. Yes, I agree. Some people smoke and never get cancer and others die from it. each body is different for some some therapy will work and the same therapy will not. Some scientist and doctors 'study' you individually, and give you the proper plan and treatment based n you only. And I also agree that someone who is fighting cancer should follow more than one treatment… you must try several protocols and 'things' it make sense to you. Because some of the many many treatments and possible therapies you can follow, are fake or wrong or don't work.

  16. And where did you get this idea to mix with dill pickle vinegar and mustard seeds? Did you read it some where that thise combination is better and can help?

  17. Yes, and i some sensitive people can damage their liver. So people taking high amounts, should check their liver enzymes. Some one in this forum said that you can get 500mg of the extract @ "good nutrition' (?) still, their nutritionist/alternative/holistic practitioner should check on this… just in case.
