Trasia,

Interesting thread. Thanks for the great, in depth posts. Funny thing about chemo and curcumin. Chemo wrecked my G.I. tract, causing esophagitis and acid reflux. I was taking curcumin, but had to discontinue due to my severe heartburn and esophageal pain. I would think they would definitely have to do an injectable curcumin as they did with the mice as humans on chemo would very likely not be able to tolerate it orally.

Finally, you must remember there is little or no profit for drug companies, who are the primary funders of most clinical trials, for therapies with oral spices, an injectable version perhaps.
