Some of the BC patients I have talked to about the idea of conducting a laboratory trial comparing the effectiveness of either Curcumin only or Curcumin + Herceptin or Herceptin only for Her2+ BC patients, told me I am getting nuts or that I have high hopes for myself-just even thinking about it.. Apparently there has been a clinical studies conducted to compare the effectiveness of Curcumin only or Curcumin + Taxol (chemo drug) or Taxol only for mice with breast cancer. I hope that they perform these trials on humans as well. I hope a big organization like Life Extensions can sponsor these trials, since they have been selling Curcumin supplements anyway. This would mean that millions of women who cannot afford chemo and Herceptin can now have access to cancer treatments that are available in every kitchen.
