Very interesting. Thanks !!!!!!!!!
I have been interested the things nature has to offer us for a long time.
We must remember that some chemos orginated from natural sources too-----taxol, taxotere, abraxane, navelbine and halaven come to mind right away.
There is no reason we can't find other things in nature to help us.
I have taken low dose curcumin for years. I also cook with tumeric regularly. I hope it is helping.

hi elaine,
thanks for the acknowledgement. you are one special lady too.. 12 years! very inspiring..

my mother and I are both taking 800mg (8mg) of Bio-Curcumin from LEF-- she got tired of drinking fresh turmeric juice for the last 15 months..

we also put turmeric on our brown rice and most of our veggie and meat dishes...

looking forward to see you around here..

hi jackie,
we have an appointment with the oncologist offering the COMPARE Clinical Trial (Herceptin+taxol+ a new drug under study) this coming Thursday..

my mother asked me today-- "why are we going to an oncologist again? we just saw one this week.. make sure that doctor will not ask me to take chemo!!"

so, I told her, "you are a very strong woman, no one can ask you to take anything against your will-- let us just see this oncologist and see what he has to offer us.."

she eyed me with suspicion...I was almost able to convince her that Herceptin is not chemo-- so I was able to drag her to the doctor.. but now she kept hearing Herceptin needs to be in combination with chemo..
