Patty, Thanks for posting this. This is exactly the type of information that I've been searching for. I've was taking turmeric with black pepper for years. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with MGUS and put on "wait and see" with 6 month testing. At that time I went to a curcumin complex and per day took 3g turmeric (300mg curcumin). My last blood tests showed M protein and IgM continue to rise exponentially. I just started supplementing the 3g turmeric by taking an additional 1g turmeric (950mg curcuminoids C3 complex). This should now be about 4X the active ingredient I had been using.
I did hint my plan to my Hematologist/Oncologist. She made it very clear that she wasn't going to comment or recommend anything other than the standard protocol. Glad to read you are having positive results.
