I'm curious about the effect of turmeric. I've read otherwise and curious what you have found.
I want to do whatever I can do to keep this disease at bay.

The PC oncologist recommends avoiding antioxidants such as CoQ10 and turmeric until after the radiation therapy, reason being one doesn't want to protect cells when you are nuking them. I take about 10 g/day of turmeric that has about 2 g/day of bioavailable curcumin (piperine [pepper] and lipids help absorption through intestinal walls). I take it to (hopefully) decrease my risk of multiple myeloma. There are a number of brands, none regulated by the FDA; I take Qunol 1 gm tablets. Do they help? My plasma kappa curve has flattened but don't know if there is any cause and effect, or just chance. I don't have side effects, but some people do. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8464730/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6429287/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2820199/#:~:text=Alone%20or%20in%20combination%20with,%2C%20treatment%20or%20co%2Dtreatment.

Yes I am interested in turmeric also. Does anyone have any experience with it? I have read that the best supplements for PC are broccoli, green tea, turmeric, and pomegranate juice.
