MGUS and quite high Free Kappa Light Chain and Kappa Lambda Ratio

I have researched the follow up of MUGUS.
Clinical trials are finding modifications to just monitoring. These seem to be in 2 categories:
First investigating new markers of progression. Much of this research is genetics.
Second is investigating agents that show promise in slowing the progression. One such agent is curcumin.

I take ~3 grams of bioavailable curcumin/day for MGUS. Bioavailable means it has peperine (found in black pepper) and/or lipid (fat) that helps absorption, because otherwise curcumin is very poorly absorbed. Don't know if it helps; the curve of my Kappa proteins has flattened a bit, but that could be other. There is research now on the curcumin, how it affects TNF (tumor necrosis factor), and if there are modifications to the curcumin that could increase absorption and effects on TNF.
