Although this is not a new article, I thought some may not have seen it, so here it is!

I took curcumin prior to starting my radiation. The radiation techs had never heard of it before, and the doc just rolled his eyes like I was some kind of idiot. But after 6 weeks of rad I can honestly say I had no pain, no swelling, no blisters. Not even a "sunburn". The techs said after seeing my results they would start mentioning it to the other ladies, but I doubt the doc is going to allow that!! He didn't seem "herbal friendly".

Lorraine,

How did you take the curcumin? Was it a form of the spice or was it in pill suplement form? thanks, Karin

I am about to start radiation in a couple of weeks and would love to know more about the curcumin supplements, when to start, how much to take, etc.  I love Indian food, but I don't think I can eat enough of it to not need to take extra!

I joined the group today, so pardon my incomplete information.  Today I had my # 10 rad for DCIS. I read in another post that the dose for Turmric is 1500 mg/day.  It is a link from a site called FreshPlaza. I will provide more specific information when I find the post and can refer specifically to it.
