There is some laboratory bench top (in Vitro) evidence that the active ingredient in Turmeric - Curcumin when sequenced (different days or times) with an ingredient in Green Tea call ECGC- May have a minor effect on slowing a rise in ALC. The NIH has published a few papers- its a long complex read
SNIP; It is unlikely that curcumin alone will be an effective treatment for B-CLL due to incomplete apoptotic responses. Curcumin itself enhances the effectiveness of a variety of compounds, including vincristine in B-CLL in vitro....
Ultimately, however, the optimal studies will probably require the use of a curcumin compound modified to enhance its bioavailability. Encapsulating curcumin in liposomes allows it to be administered systemically, and several groups are working on altering curcumin to increase its absorption when taken orally. Based on the biologic properties of curcumin alone or in combination with EGCG or other compounds, these second generation curcumin moieties should be explored for the treatment of CLL and other cancers.
There have been several posts and discussions previously- please see the "Related Posts" box at the top right of this page on a computer screen - way at the bottom on mobile devices.
The bottom line is that raw tumeric alone is not believed to be effective. Enhanced versions of Curcumin & ECGC trials in humans are needed, and some have started, but there are no clinical trials far enough along to prove efficacy in humans.
Wiley Journals are problematic... I suggest you access the .pdf file from a Google search... It works fine for me on all Apple devices.. I just tried it...
