Curcumin

Seriously thinking of trying 'curcumin' however, some people have posted that there maybe contraindications with aspirin. Is it also a blood thinner?

Maz, if you read this, could get some clarification on this for me and others ?

Thanks Maz, bang goes that idea then since I have ET. It just goes to show how you should investigate everything thoroughly.

Hi Maz did you see the various requests for clarification of what Dr Harrison was saying about this? Are you able to speak to her again? Thank you very much, Karen

Hi Maz

Sorry for not understanding, but I am not sure what is meant by 'since platelet function is not agreement'. Please could you help. Many thanks :)

I assumed it might be auto correct. Maybe 'agreeable?'

Supportive but cautious.....? Please clarify if possible...

Cautious of what?

I wonder if for those not taking any medication for ET (not even aspirin) - low risk patients - it would be worth seeing if it has any positive effects?

I'm worried too as I have been taking Curcumin for several weeks. I have ET Jak2+ and take aspirin and hydroxy. Clarification would be good. Thank you, Karen.

Hi Mary i was thinking of taking this also! so much in the media about how good it is for cancer .. I been drinking this matcha green tea , only one a day. but it seems to work for a laxative on me haha so bit wary now although i did check with my heam last week he saidwas ok , on iresearch i did it said can interfere with blood thinner im on clopldrell now too even though some things are so called natural we have to watch interactions eh tumeric is a spice in currys etc and the curcumin in pill form is the main thing to kill cancer apparently best wishes Holly x

UPDATE REPLY FROM PROF HARRISON : Like many of the community I have been watching the story of Curcumin with interest. Of course it is not of proven benefit in patient with MPN. Personally I am not averse to our patients at Guy's trying this kind of remedy alongside conventional therapies and will be watching carefully to assess if there is further benefit.
