Hi JC, I buy the 2lb bag of turmeric online(often from Anthony's Organics but have gone elsewhere when they are out) as using the small amounts from grocery stores is too expensive. Mixing turmeric powder with black pepper (coarse ground, not fine, so you can see how much you have mixed in) increases absorption 2000%, and taking it with a source of fat (1 nut) helps as well. The anti-inflammatory properties are preserved when it is cold, but the DNA-repair (ie, anti-cancer) properties require that it be heated. I do not know how warm it needs to be (would have to look at study to see if they mention an exact temperature), but I pre-mix the turmeric & pepper in a Rubbermaid container, and take a big heaping teaspoon, mixed with water, in my coffee mug after I finish my am coffee. I warm this in the microwave for about 30 seconds, so it is warm but not scalding, and down it like a shot. I have not found any way to make this taste good, so I just down if fast and brush teeth.
Thanks for sharing Doc. If you don't mind me suggesting - it my be even better to ditch the microwave. I remember seeing a video ages ago showing how consuming microwaved food messed with white blood cells. Then there's the radiation exposure to consider as well. Might be worth researching further. Best of luck as you pursue truth and health!
Like we Indians have been doing from time immemorial, you can add a pinch to half tsp of turmeric powder to any cooked meal preparation, vegetables or meat. Yes it will impart a yellow colour, should not matter. It is a mild spice and a food colour too. I don’t want to claim that we are cancer free as a result of this practice, because we too have the same adverse things like smoking as in the rest of the world. But per capita, we could have a lower incidence of cancer generally in the population, though the absolute number of cases are high as stand alone numbers, given the huge populations, 4 times that of USA. As a population, we could be benefiting with regular turmeric in our food, though it may not possible to quantify it.
I have also been reading quite a lot about the repurposed drugs and their role in mitigating cancer. Very remarkable. This story is one such. I am not a doctor, but feel strongly about multiple mechanisms of therapy for atleast tenacious diseases like cancer. Even with molecules like Ivermectin and Fenbendazole that can provide multiple actions on cancer, single drugs may not be fully effective.
It has to be a cocktail of these drugs, with adjuvants. Don’t expect to beat cancer only with turmeric or green tea or grape juice.
Yes! One of the many reasons turmeric is effective is that it attacks cancer cells by multiple mechanisms, so it is harder for cancer cells to become resistant to it (methylene blue does this as well). Versus chemotherapy, which only works in one way, leading to resistance in some cases. Also, chemotherapy kills cancer cells by necrosis, which leads to inflammation, which causes mitochondrial damage, which is the ultimate cause of all cancers, NOT an accumulation of DNA damage as we've all been taught/believed. Turmeric (and other repurposed medications) kill cancer cells often by apoptosis, which is programmed cell death and is NOT inflammatory. And I take the powder, not the capsule supplements, as if there is a known absorption issue with turmeric, why add yet another barrier (like a capsule) that the body has to break down just to get to the turmeric?
I wish I could edit my post as I've recently read Dr. Thomas Seyfried's book "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease" in which I was informed that cancer's cause is inflammation leading to mitochondrial damage, not accumulation of genetic damage, thus I no longer take my turmeric warmed, but take it cold.
Another great thing that India does is apparently they have a national de-worming day twice each year where everybody takes Albendazole.

I have heard a lot of good anecdotal things about turmeric. Especially for neuropathy.
