I spoke to my hem/onc doc about turmeric and he sort of rolled his eyes, citing lack of supporting data. Undaunted, I read that some were having success rolling the turmeric dice and I decided to try it.
I checked with my PCP because I was worried about unanticipated consequences with an interaction with other drugs I’m taking. She consulted pharmacy who went through them with me and finding no counter indications, I opted for a daily dose of 1000 mg of Curcumin. My kappa values went from 113.8 to 88.8.
I’ll take it. My lambda went down a minuscule bit. My ratio went from 5.69 to 4.49.
I don’t know that any of this is attributable to the curcumin I get semi annual bloodwork done again this coming Monday. We’ll see if the reduction in values was an anomaly. It sure wasn’t adherence to good diet and exercise as I have not been dedicated to either recently, but I am by nature and empiricist, and I’d like to see steady decline in these values consistently before I get too excited.
I had no Gastro issues whatsoever taking the curcumin. I tried taking turmeric with ginger and let’s just say I had to spend way too much time in the bathroom.
Thank you for sharing this information. Are you taking turmeric and how has this impacted your health?
