Health See other Health Articles Title: Woman, 67, who battled blood cancer for five years 'recovers after treating it with TURMERIC' in the first recorded case of its kind Dieneke Ferguson, 67, had given up on gruelling treatments and chemotherapy With her myeloma spreading she began taking 8g of curcumin a day The cancer stabilised in what doctors say was the first case of its kind A woman who battled blood cancer for years without success finally halted the disease with turmeric, it has been reported. Dieneke Ferguson is now leading a normal life after giving up on gruelling treatments that failed to stop it. Doctors say her case is the first recorded instance in which a patient has recovered by using the spice after stopping conventional medical treatments. With her myeloma spreading rapidly after three rounds of chemotherapy and four stem cell transplants, the 67-year-old began taking 8g of curcumin a day one of the main compounds in turmeric.

But it stabilised after Mrs Ferguson, from north London, came across the remedy on the internet in 2011 and decided to try it as a last resort. The tablets are expensive £50 for ten days but as kitchen turmeric contains just 2 per cent curcumin it would be impossible to eat enough to get the same dose.

Share this article Share Mrs Ferguson, who was first diagnosed in 2007, continues to take curcumin without further treatment and her cancer cell count is negligible. Her doctors, from Barts Health NHS Trust in London, wrote in the British Medical Journal Case Reports: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in which curcumin has demonstrated an objective response in progressive disease in the absence of conventional treatment. The experts, led by Dr Abbas Zaidi, said some myeloma patients took dietary supplements alongside conventional treatment but few, if any, use dietary supplementation as an alternative to standard antimyeloma therapy.

But they added: In the absence of further antimyeloma treatment the patient plateaued and has remained stable for the past five years with good quality of life. Since the turn of the century, more than 50 studies have tested curcumin the pigment in turmeric that gives it that bright yellow colour. A CENTURIES-OLD EASTERN REMEDY Turmeric is a yellow spice widely used as a flavouring in the Indian subcontinent and as a food colouring by industry It is ground from the dried root of an Asian plant called Curcuma longa and has been used in Eastern medicine for centuries Curcumin - turmerics active ingredient - has significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties Studies have shown it is an effective painkiller and also reduces the risk of lung disease, Alzheimers, heart disease and depression They suggest the spice can protect against several cancers, as well as Alzheimers, heart disease and depression. It has also been shown to help speed recovery after surgery and effectively treat arthritis. But although it is widely used in Eastern medicine, and has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects, curcumin is not widely prescribed because it has never been tested in large-scale trials. The doctors wrote that the biological activity of curcumin is indeed remarkable, including its anti-proliferative effects in a wide variety of tumour cells. But Professor Jamie Cavenagh, one of the authors of the paper, stressed it may not work for all patients. He said: A lot of my patients take curcumin at different stages of their treatment. I dont object to it. Dienekes is the best response I have observed and it is clear-cut because we had stopped all other treatment. Mrs Ferguson, who runs Hidden Art, a not-for-profit business helping artists market their work, is frustrated doctors cannot recommend the spice and wants more research carried out. She said: I hope my story will lead to more people finding out about the amazing health benefits of curcumin. Myeloma affects some 5,500 people in the UK every year, killing nearly 3,000.

The facts remain that Dr. Otto Warburg found a cure for cancer in Germany during the Third Reich. But Hitler prevented him from receiving the Nobel Prize because of the war. And the AMA suppressed this fact to keep people of expensive and ineffective chemotherapy. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
I've been taking 95% curcumin, 500mg twice a day for a couple of years. That's 1g a day. Good stuff. I'd say the color is more orange, than yellow. I've been using Curcumin2X for several years now, so far, so good.

Wonder if it works for alde age and shiftlessness?
One of those "what can it hurt?" things, I guess.

Are you familiar with this O2 drops for combatting cancer; sounds like a scam: Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize Dr. Robert Atkins In 1931, a man named Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for work proving cancer is caused by a lack of oxygen in the cells. He states in his book, The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer", that the cause of cancer is no longer a mystery; we know it occurs whenever any cell is denied 60% of its oxygen requirements. That was in 1931! But documentation and proof of oxygen therapy curing virtually every disease we know of goes back to the late 1800s! So that BEGS the question... Why arent we hearing about this? Why isnt it a part of our every day lives if it is such a powerful cure-all? The answer is simple. It is not profitable. Look, there is a very good reason why the powers that be scurry you away from using such a readily available, abundant and inexpensive solution to peak health? In fact, in 1960's, the pioneering and courageous Dr. Robert Atkins, of Atkins Diet fame, temporarily lost his license after he publicly reported that he had cured, completely cured, a woman's breast cancer by using oxygen. Then the public rallied and forced the New York State Medical Board to reinstate his license. But they did so only on condition that Dr. Atkins agreed to stop using, or publicly encourage the use of oxygen therapy
And that is the bottom line. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
