Anyone ever hear of using the spice turmeric to help with P. My mom read it a long time ago and it seems to work to an extent. I take a tablespoon of turmeric and mix it with V8. It tastes awful, but turmeric is supposedly an anti-inflammatory and it seems to have kept the P on my scalp to a minimum. Sometimes I'll throw in some tabasco sauce to overpower the bitterness or sometimes i'll mix it with milk instead of V8. Tastes very strange but not that bad.
Anyone ever hear of this?

Yes i take turmeric. i think it is helpful but not strong enough to do the job all by it's lonesome.

Hi Mike,
Here's a link to some previous discussions about tumeric:

Hope this helps.

Turmeric contains 2-5% curcumin. To get a big enough dose of curcumin, most people take a purified extract (or 10 or more spoons of the spice). I take curcumin, milk thistle, and slippery elm.

I cleared after using turmeric for a few months. I did use it in capsule form aka 95%curcumin. It's not all that expensive, esp if you order it online and a lot easier to get down. --kiki

I will have to add that (concentrate in pill form)to my regimen. I have just been adding it to my foods every day, so that's probably why I did not see strong results from just that. But I am seeing results from other herbs!

I'm 99.9% clear after 30 years with P. Curcumin, Milk Thistle, Slippery Elm.

Now I'll be wondering which herb did the trick. Did you change your diet at all? I'm pretty sure you've been over this already but there's so much info on here that my brain gets lost. --kiki

How much of each did you take?

Hi all
im in a P forum in the UK, and we have had a very long long chat about tumeric , NOW it is not tumuric its self that is the main ingriedient that helps P, it is CURCUMIN , tumeric only has 3% curcumin , though it has helped some people on the forum here, Some of us have ordered 95% curcumin and are trying that at the moment, and some people have had good resaults even after a few days, so there is excitment over this substance and p, It has been proven by scientists that curcumin does help clear P and is said to be even better than donovex,
It has also been seen to help in many other things aswell such as some cancers, alzhimers, arthritous,bowel problems,anti bacterial properties and more, there are links on this board that do show P research so i will not repeat them, but i will let you know more if you wish me to inform you,
all the best

Thanks, Andrew,

I think this is what he is talking about...I'm still reading ...and he tells what he found out about dosage

Hi
Yes this link is the correct 1, i did not post it as i did not know if it would be classed as advertising, but anyhow the link is correct, the circumin is taken
3+500 mg with food, on an empty stomach it is suppose to cause stomach upset,so after a meal is best,
We are discussing a topical application at this time, oil would be the best thing to mix it with though i have been reading that water, and some use vasoline though i have my own thoughts on this, i have not made any yet im sort of thinking so far, i am going to start my curcumin at the weekend,1 tab for the first week, just to build up to 3 after 2-3 weeks,
I at the moment do not have really bad P so i am lucky for that, but i do have patches and spots here and there, tho i am planning to improve my diet over the next few weeks, this is something i have decieded to do, new year and all, so i will let you know how it goes and if you want to know more the link is hot , so there you go
al the best
Andrew

Hi all

see ya
all the best
Andrew

good news Andrew....keep us informed....we have people on here that will be interested in your outcome..... :)

For those of you who asked. I first started taking Milk Thistle to support the liver. I started seeing results after about two months and great results after four months. I then started taking Curcumin, Slippery Elm and ACV. Currently I take one 1000mg Milk Thistle, three 500mg curcumin, two tablespoons Slippery Elm in whole fat yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons organic flax oil and two tablespoons of ACV a day. I have been eating a low carb diet for about three and a half years, no processed foods, no trans fats, eat good animal fats. All scientific reports lead to supporting the gastrointestinal tract (AKA Leaky Gut) and supporting the liver for improved immune response. Prevent/treat toxins in the body and prevent autoimmune disease.

All I gotta say is....we are gonna be one big healthy bunch on here...not just with getting rid of P.....but in getting our bodies back in a healthy condition :D
good going Alan....did you by chance ever read Adelle Davis....the momma of nutrition? My mother had her books...I borrowed them and got hooked...many years ago........

Can someone who is having success with curcumin please tell me what brand they purchased? There are so many out there..
thanks.

A week and a half ago I started using Turmeric Catechu from Gaia Herbs. I squirt half a dropper in my mouth 4 times a day. I cannot believe what is happening. After 20 years of worsening, I am seeing reversal. The painful plaques on my eyelids and in the corners of my eyes have disappeared and the plaques on my legs, knees, elbows, arms, ears, under boobs, in bum crack are fading. I just want to cry from happiness. It's been 20 years of long sleeves in the heat of summer and if this keeps up, I'll be in short sleeves this summer! Woo Hoo! I hope it works for you, too!
