Can weight gain cause progression from MGUS to myeloma?

The plant based diet with added tumeric and omega 3 lowered my IgG kappa 0.2

Be carful Tumeric can stop absorption of iron severely. It was a great anti inflammatory substitute instead of IB but I need iron lol

Sorry, but you don't know that. You know that, after following the "plant based diet" for an unspecified period of time, your IgG k went down. Things like IgG k fluctuate normally. You can't assume a causal relationship.

In other words, post hoc ergo propter hoc is a logical fallacy. The jury is still out on the effectiveness of turmeric and a vegetarian diet.

I lost 26lbs since August and my numbers still went up. Just had a BMB and see them hemanoc in a couple weeks.

Most people with MGUS also have a form of anemia. I am IDA

Yes. I have chronic anemia.

So true. And I love the Latin phrase, I’m going to save it and use it in future. Because of my anemia/iron deficiency, I don’t eat vegetarian. But I have added occasional tumeric supplement because I have read positive benefits for MGUS. I know the studies aren’t conclusive but they are suggestive. It probably boils down to good nutrition helps a strong immune system which may help slow, but doesn’t cure progression. We can hope, and we know there is a strong connection with body and mind.

I emailed an author of the 2017 paper "Long-term follow-up of curcumin treated MGUS/SMM patients – an updated single centre experience".
He emailed me with his website http://www.mgustherapy.com and also that the curcumin he used in their clinical studies was C3 complex from Sabinsa.
My reading of the studies is that the type of MGUS may make a difference. It appears that curcumin is not too effective for my IgM MGUS as other types. I will continue taking it until my next test and then decide.

Folks - you gotta read this stuff carefully. Taking the "studies" listed on this site in order by year:
2024: Sample size 1. Yes, 1.
2020: studied use of cucurmin in place of steroid (usually dex) to ameliorate effects of standard MM drug regimen in those already diagnosed.
2017: Sample size 6.
2017(2): sample size 13.
2017(3): same study as 2017(2).
2016: sample size 10 (MGUS cohort).
2015(1): sample size, CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) patients 21; MGUS patients 0
2015(2): another CLL study; sample size 21
2015(3): sample size 1
2013: in vitro study.
2013(2): sample size 2
2012: the only double-blind placebo-controlled study of the group. Sample size: 36. Conclusion: "These findings suggest that curcumin might have the potential to slow the disease process in patients with MGUS and SMM." Note "suggest", "might" and "potential".
2011: Nothing to do with curcumin (or any other supplement).
2010: Vitamin D deficiency may increase damage MM does to bones. No kidding. Vitamin D is vital to bone health independent of MM.
2009: sample size 26.
All tiny, all equivocal, only one double-blind. I'm not suggesting that someone who - after consulting with physician - wants to take cucurmin should not do so. In the quantities discussed here, it is not likely to do any damage, other than potentially to iron absorption. I have high-risk MGUS / SMM, and know how you want to DO SOMETHING. But you have to read between the lines before getting your hopes up, especially on sites where - as here - they want to sell you stuff.

You are right there are a lot of things this body can do
