    Good article!

    I picked up a Dr.Weiss magazine when I was first diagnosed. He talked about tumeric and its anti cancer ways.

    Its important to know that to make tumeric effective it must be diffused with olive oil and the black pepper increases the anti cancer effects. *Everyone should make a note of this*

    This combo is really tasty for roasting veggies. Especially root veggies or cauliflower. I place 1/2 cup good EVOO in a bowl, add 1/2tsp tumeric and a couple of good dashes of black pepper. Let stand for 5 min, then toss into veggies and bake.

    This is also mentioned in the book Anti-Cancer by David Servan-Schreiber. See video of Dr. Servan Schreiber talking about his book.

    A word of caution. The article Turmeric and black pepper fight cancer stem cells says: "Note that it is often safest to avoid turmeric during chemotherapy as well as a three days before and after the treatment. This is because it can—rarely, but it can—interfere with some chemotherapy treatments and reduce their benefits."

    Dear Molly4,

    Just stick with the organic ground Turnmeric root.Use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon daily mixed with a bit of olive oil and black pepper, and put this on your food at meal time. No need to buy the capsules in my opinion. The black pepper increases the body's ability to absorb the Turmeric by 2000 %.There are a few threads on this very subject. Just scan the Alternative forum.
