Turmeric

Hi 

thank you, some one else said Turmeric with pepper As well  . I have to see hospital next week so will now check with the pharmacist there to see what’s compatible.  Sounds as if The turmeric definately works for you then with your  arthritis  

I take it with black pepper too (you buy it like that)

I saw some tablets today think they were By  7Seas it was a tablet plus a capsule & included ginger . 

Pubmed is an on line publication of world wide trials etc a great source of info,especially as most are peer reviewed..

This site https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/turmeric gives a lot of information, but unless you are a medical professional you should talk to your GP or other Dr, your pharmacist maybe  able to advise too, as looking at the different herb drug interactions is not for a lay person, I have no idea what a lot of these things mean, but I have been told that Tamoxifen can be affected by taking turmeric so use in cooking etc as it is such a small amount but won’t take it as a tablet which is a much more higher and concentrated dose, even though I am sure it would help me with my aches and pains.

Hi 

I was on Tamoxifen but swapped to Letrizole . Thank you I’ll look at this as well - I’m just fed up of taking prescribed tablets etc so thought going down the natural self help route would be better but it’s still a bit of a minefield isn’t it .
