For those who have not come across this, here is a link to information about the 8 week curcumin cancer protocol:
Note:(spam website link edited out)
I started it this week as I have absolutely no intention of having chemo.
There is also a great Facebook page: Turmeric Support Group.
I note the comments come from ‘turmericforhealth.com’. Hardly an unbiased medical peer reviewed group without a hidden agenda.
Don’t kill yourself.
you got that right...a troll making money from clicks on scam websites...notice all promote brands of Curcumin that are junk and not the well researched brands...sane scam company makes all 3 brands rec'd and then uses planted Amazon reviews
Thank you for your concern and comments.
The link I gave was one the protocol is described in.
As far as sources of curcumin, I have researched this and, by no coincidence, came up with one of the brands approved on the Turmeric Support Group Facebook page.
As far as "not killing myself", that's why I am refusing to go down the chemo route
I have personally known too many "healthy" people who suffered terribly as a result of chemo.
Hi gusgold
It seems strange that 1969 Andy has made 3 main posts. The first was to introduce himself, and the two following were for alternatives to treatments, Oncologia and Turmeric. No requests for advice or information on all the usual treatments, just “what is everyone’s opinion of....”, a sort of black door promotion.
Hopefully 1969andy can explain why?
paid troll...everytime someone clicks on a website he recs it is encoded so he can get pay per click...trolls make a lot of money off this
There is so much very valuable information, advice and answers on here, there is no need to "request". I mean that as a genuine compliment to the site and those who take part.
What I hadn't seen covered is the "alternatives", hence my interest and asking what others think.
Having looked further into Oncologia, I don't see this company as one I'd use, plus, from what I can gather, DNA testing to most appropriate target treatment, is very much in its infancy.
As to Turmeric, more specifically, the 8-week curcumin cancer protocol, yes, I would have liked to know the views, ideally personal experiences, of others.
I hope PCa doesn't lead me to be as suspicious and closed-minded as, from some of the comments directed at me, some on this forum are! Believe me, I can understand the frustrations: despite the mega-bucks/pounds/euros spend on "research", cancer treatment, particularly, PCa remains a very inexact science.
In the UK we are just starting to research the "possible" benefits of Metformin used in conjunction with ADT, with results not expected for many years. That research has already been done in USA & Canada: Metformin IS a very useful adjunct as both a direct anti-cancer agent and it minimises 2 of the adverse side-effects of zero-T (high blood sugar & cholesterol) and the sooner into ADT it is started the greater its benefits. No I'm not a salesman for a Metformin supplier!
The head of the unit I am under (Prof Robert Langley) has done research proving that low-dose aspirin reduces Pca-spread. That is not even mentioned in the literature nor has been mentioned by prostate cancer nurses and oncologists in HIS very unit. No, I do not work for an aspirin supplier!
And you wonder why, my preference is for treatment that also improved health & well-being rather than considerably diminsihes quality of life and can, in the case of chemo, be a direct and indirect killer in its own right.
Please note, I am not accusing anyone of being pro-Big-Pharma trolls or financially benefiting from perveying their views on ADT, chemo, etc.
That is absolutely your choice not to have chemo, a proven treatment for PCa, which I’m given to understand is extremely well tolerated, but I find it strange you’re on this site if you’re not prepared be open minded, and also post links to sales sites. Whilst there is evidence circumin may, and I stress may, prevent cancer, I’ve yet to find any evidence it’s useful in extending the life of those with advanced PCa. Only a small element of turmeric is curcumin, so again, I’m not sure of any benefit.
Don’t get me wrong, this is a discussion and advice site, so if there is absolute evidence turmeric stops or delays advanced PCa, I’d be most interested in reading it. We are always interested in advances that may save our lives.
there is no evidence...basically curcumin is so poorly absorbed there is no way to deliver an effective dose to the tumor
I suggest you independently research this before pontificating.
The addition of piperine maximises bioavailability and taking in conjunction with oil/fat (healthy, of course) does make is readily absorbable.
There is a plethora of research showing the very positive benefits of Turmeric, particularly in the form of golden paste, for a whole host of ailments and curcumin as a potent anti-cancer "medication".
Please do not go throwing insults and accusations when, to be blunt, you don't have the knowledge on this.
I know its really hard to "trust" non-conventional therapies, but, to use a famous quote: "the truth IS out there". And, it's no hard to find.
Tommy & Gusgold ... and before you even ask, no, I'm not on the take from this site or any other:
The best form of Turmeric is golden paste: where turmeric is heated and mixed with, usually coconut, oil and black pepper.
That is used in combination with curcumin extract (capsules withe piperine) best taken with oil/fat as part of the Curcumin Cancer Protocol.
There are excellent support groups on Facebook: Turmeric Users Group, with all the information and advice you'll need.
I've just started week 2.
Not head of that one before.
I believe all the curcuminoids have an anti-cancer effect, which is why curcumic extra (for the cancer protcol) should be taken alongside turmeric (golden paste).

Blimey, I must be raking it in LOL
My dr. gave me liposomal curcumin -- 95% tumeric extract --166 mg per teaspoon w/ olive oil -- supposedly for better absorption
