I agree that one should embark upon the great turmeric experiment with caution. Before I add anything to my regular drug/supplement routine, I work with my clinic’s PharmD to see if a supplement might interact negatively with any prescription medication’s that I am on. We also look at possible side effects and my physician and I monitor to see if there are any negative unintended consequences.
So far, my numbers have improved. Yay!
It looks as though the assertion that most people with MGUS have anemia is inconsistent with the data.

It just goes to show that we are all so different and what will work for one does not work for everybody. I get lots of information from the anecdotal experiences of my fellow travelers, but I always have to make sure that I do my homework and filter through all of the information with my physician before I make a decision to try something like diet or supplements.
It’s important that we all advocate for ourselves.
Yes. I have chronic anemia.
