My hem/onc doc didn’t poo, poo, herbal treatment, but he sure didn’t recommend it. He said that he had yet to see any empirical evidence that suggests that it is helpful to MGUS patients.

I had done a quick perusal of the literature, and found some support, but not really anything to jump up and down about and a lot of what I read was old.

Has anybody done a deep dive into actual studies on this?

I like data.

Happy Tuesday!

I cannot find results re past trials using curcumin so I assume none have been completed.
However, I found it helpful to read about the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Trial for a Plant Based Dietary Intervention in MGUS and SMM patients. See: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05640843
It is in the recruiting phase. The anticipated completion is 3 years off. Participants not in the control group will get:
1. PLANT BASED diet
2. Algae OMEGA 3 supplements (QWell Pharma)
3. CURCUMIN supplements (Sabinsa Pharma)
plus
Stool BUTYRATE levels will be measured at 12 weeks.
I plan to read more about the collaborators: Paula and Rodney Riney Foundation, Plantable, M and M labs and Veggie Doctor.
