I am a massage therapist and had read in a massage magazine that curcumin helped reduce swelling of the joints. At the time I was a student and was beginning to feel this symptom. within the 1st week of taking curcumin in pill form (I get mine from Swanson Vitamins, online), I felt a considerable change. I do forget to take it daily, but as soon as I feel any joint discomfort, I begin taking it, and the symptom disappears.

I was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer. After I started on chemo a NursePractioner put me on Turmeric and showed me a study that was done with brain cancer patients and it was found that Turmeric attacked the cancer cells. I'm also now on Tamoxifen, so can't say for sure that the Turmeric is working. But, will continue on it! I took Swanson brand 720mg Turmeric.
