Webinar-NIH curcumin and cancer prevention
 

Thought I'd share this in case anyone is interested.

I want to share with you information about an upcoming webinar that Dr. Gabriela Riscuta in our Nutritional Science Research Group will be hosting (see below). Hope you will be able to join us on May 17th at 1 PM EDT for these presentations about curcumin and cancer prevention. Registration can be found at http://dcp.cancer.gov/programs-resou...ps/ns/webinars

Continuing Medical Education and Commission on Dietetics credits are available.

Re: Webinar-NIH curcumin and cancer prevention
 

Thank you for posting, this sounds like a good webinar. I am planning to buy more curcumin after finishing my current supply. I noticed there is a brand called Longvida that was developed at UCLA and apparently has a better absorption profile. I was wondering if you or any other members have experience with this product or other recommendations. I know the oral bioavailability is low so this formulation is tempting but I would like to see if any other groups have tested it other than the innovators. Thank you.

Thanks. I will be busy that day, but perhaps they will post something afterwards. I will give my naturopathic physician the link. He will be interested, since he prescribed curcumin for me after testing showed it will help.

hi Tanya,

it says 1pm on 17th May--- which time zone is this? this is probably midnight my time..

Re: Webinar-NIH curcumin and cancer prevention
 

Trasia,

Tanya's post reads the time as "1 PM EDT", which is "Eastern Daylight Time," so it means 1:00 in the afternoon New York time.

Hopeful

When you have completed the questionnaire, you will be directed to supply your name and a business email address.

If you are a consumer, make your feedback count by filling out the feedback form… I agree that cancer treatment should be affordable, effective and have less side effects. This seems to be the first time that NCI — offered this type of webinars to the public.
