Does 1000mg daily Tumeric consumption mask prostate cancer by lowering uPSA values and not slowing prostate cancer cells down?

This keeps bouncing around. No proof in either direction, no studies except one that showed benefit in lowering PSA and a second that suggested that it might instead be an effect in the test itself . You have cited the references and you have to decide for yourself. I decided in favor of POMI-T and I stop my dosing a week before I re-test. There is zero science in the one week choice. As she said: "ya pays ya' money and ya' takes ya' chance."
