Here is recipe for turmeric I have been modifying for a couple of years.
Qs:
Anyone else use turmeric?
Any additions you would make?
Does the recipe seem easy for anyone to follow?

Anti Inflammatory Turmeric Mixture.
Notes:
The goal is to have a paste. Add liquids or powders as needed to get to a paste consistency.
About 8 hours after mixing the flavors mingle.
I have left the mixture out of the refrigerator for over a month with no spoilage problems. Not not add water nor any ingredient with water.
Turmeric can die your hands, counter tops, plastic containers. It also fluoresces under black light! youtube.com/watch?v=U6w679_...
Dosage:
Some where between 1 to 3 grams a day(1/2 teaspoon) Can be washed down with milk or almond milk.
Ingredients:
Turmeric: Three bottles of dry (3 x ~2.5 oz bottle) OR fresh turmeric ~7.5 oz (Trader Joe’s or Whole foods has the smoothest tasting turmeric)
Black pepper: One heaping teaspoon ~ 6 grams (3% black pepper to amount of turmeric) Black pepper - piperine helps with blood uptake of turmeric - curcumin.
Oil: Can be coconut, olive, ghee or another pleasant tasting oil (oil is for bio availability) ~7.5 oz
Sweetener: Honey or Maple syrup or another sweetener: three or more tablespoons to taste.
Salt: to taste.
Garlic or Onion: powder to taste. (I have used fresh garlic with no spoilage problems. Garlic sometimes turns a nice blue when mixed with an oil. Your results may vary )
Other spices: Try out other spices to taste. I have use small amounts of cinnamon, cardamon, cumin. They are tasty. In the end this mixture is almost ~curry paste.
No water. Don’t add any water or any ingredient with water. Water can encourage bacterial growth.
Mixing:
In a 2 cup mason jar.
This order of ingredient adding helps with the mixing.
Add the liquids: oil, sweetener
Add pepper, salt, garlic powder
Add turmeric
Mix. Add liquid until a smooth paste.
That’s it!

Wow! Much more sophisticated than I am. I just make a mix of olive oil, tumeric and black pepper when I cook. I primarily use it every morning when I make eggs. I also met with an integrative medicine specialist and they suggested I take supplements.
But your idea looks a lot more interesting! Thanks for sharing!
I have not modified based on PSA. How could that work? More turmeric as the PSA rises? I can see taking the the mixture several times a day to keep blood levels high. I have looked at Turmeric (curcumin) studies. I got the 3% black pepper to Turmeric ratio from a study. If you know of any studies- I am interested.
I understand you take loads tumeric to get the active dose of curcumin. Of course there may be orher benefit. A monthly pas is our best guide and knowledge of estrogeni effects.
Typically in PCa, the interest is in the curcumin component only. A big concern is bioavailability. The LEF product boasts 5 times the bioavailability of the basic extract. Not very impressive.
Longvida is seriously bioavailable. It has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier:
Do you know CuruBrain curcumin is made bioavailable? Is it proprietary information? I looked at their site, no info.
(This site’s html text field is acting strange)
I use 1/2 inch of fresh tumeric root in a breakfast nutribullet smoothie of almond milk, strawberries, kale, apple, banana, and fresh ground flax seed.
You seem more worried about the dangers of plants than myself. Yesterday I bought sweet potato leaves in Chinatown for steaming. They are good eating but not as good or expensive as as pea leaves. regards Luke
Hello there! I just wanted to check... when you mentioned that one "must have the prostate removed", are you referring to early stages only or advanced disease as well ? What are your views on cytoreductive surgery in people with bone mets? This approach is becoming increasingly popular in Europe and even Australia, from what I understand... just thought I'd ask for your opinion on this matter. Thanks A LOT!
This is so unbelievably helpful. In my heart of hearts, I really believe in de-bulking and lessening the tumor burden. Of course, we were told It's not an option for us since the cancer is in his bones. I know prostatectomy in our case would be considered controversial but I would still like to push for it. Even if it would be filed under palliative care. I want to thank you for your advice, you are so amazingly knowledgeable and it helps to know that you're firmly in remission. Did yours metastisize to the bones as well? Thank you SO MUCH.
You say among the hundreds of poisons fond in Turmeric are a class of chemical compounds known as "Curcuminoids"…then you go on to say : which are relatively safe and posses some beneficial properties…how can they be poison if they are safe? Then you say: You should buy a supplement of Curcumin that has NO Turmeric in it, but again: in Turmeric are a class of chemical compounds known as "Curcuminoids" which are relatively safe and posses some beneficial properties like reducing inflammation and some minor anti prostate cancer activity. You also said: What you want to take is a highly purified extract of the Curcuminoids found in Turmeric which do have beneficial effects, but to go back to what you said earlier: You should buy a supplement of Curcumin that has NO Turmeric in it, but again you said: you want to take is a highly purified extract of the Curcuminoids found in Turmeric, but you are not to take turmeric, but again: poisons fond in Turmeric are a class of chemical compounds known as "Curcuminoids", but these are safe. Hundreds die from consuming turmeric, can “you” site anywhere this is true?
Turmeric powder is approximately 60–70% carbohydrates, 6–13% water, 6–8% protein, 5–10% fat, 3–7% dietary minerals, 3–7% essential oils, 2–7% dietary fiber, and 1–6% curcuminoids. Phytochemical components of turmeric include diarylheptanoids, a class including numerous curcuminoids, such as curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Curcumin constitutes up to 3.14% of assayed commercial samples of turmeric powder (the average was 1.51%); curry powder contains much less (an average of 0.29%). Some 34 essential oils are present in turmeric, among which turmerone, germacrone, atlantone, and zingiberene are major constituents.
Ok, there have been a couple of people asking you for your proof/reference to these poisons, but instead of providing this proof/reference you can only say “to look it up”; if what you say is true then you must have read this proof somewhere and you should then be able site this proof instead of telling people to find it in the journal of chemistry, or cdc database, which most cannot access, but you being a chemist should have it readily available, since you told us to find it there you must have read it there, therefore what is the problem in you providing what you claim.
“A billion people in India die at a very early age... and the amount of turmeric consumed is very little per meal in India and there is significant nerve damage in the Indian population as a result” To ‘paraphrase’ you say: hundreds of poisons fond in Turmeric; yet you say: the amount of turmeric consumed is very little per meal in India and there is significant nerve damage in the Indian population as a result, so by your definition they are dying as a result of consuming “very little” turmeric which contains hundreds of poisons, doesn’t seem to make your point that turmeric will kill you, if you die from not eating very much of it.
BTW India Population (LIVE) 1,354,663,309, so after a few years there should be pretty much no one left in India
Your link says nothing about “Turmeric contains nitric acid, sulfuric acid”, nothing about it being a “poison” as you claim, it does discuss extraction methods, and what should be further investigated. You totally ignored everything put forth in my reply and came up with only 1 link which does not reference any of your claims; where are your hundreds references from the journal of chemistry? You claim privy to this ‘journal of chemistry’ as you purport being a chemist, and you spread ‘chicken little’ rhetoric, but when challenged you are only able to link one item, not from this journal of chemistry, that says nothing to support your claim. Why can’t you address everything in my reply to you, and instead of just spewing out impressive words, back up your claims with references/proof?
Well since you refuse to provide any reference to back up your claims you appear to be nothing more than a charlatan, a pretender, trying to impress others here with meaningless words that say nothing; your last reply: “If you look at a more comprehensive review of the compounds” is prime example that you are unable, or unwilling to back up anything you’ve said.
Anyway... I find that the turmeric from Trader Joe's is the smoothest tasting and cheapest. About $2 per 2 oz bottle. The fresh root is showing up in more places these days; Indian, Latin, and health food shops.
