Answers:
I know someone who is using curcumin as a complementary to their chemotherapy treatment. He has been doing this independently, but his conclusion was that there was no effect on his tumors when he used just curcumin. But, when he added the curcumin with another potent agent (chemo) it seemed to be able to stablize the disease . . although it did not get rid of it. He's been using the combination for 7 months. He feels strongly that the curcumin is having an effect, but because there have been no Clinical Trials it is difficult to say on which cancers it will work and which ones it won't work. As the saying goes . . don't try this at home. You can't just sprinkle a little curcumin onto your food. You need to take a dosage that is compatible with your cancer. Also be careful about allergic reaction to long term usage.
