Re: Turmeric
I am thinking of taking tumeric. Any side effects I might want to be aware of? I read that it may possibly cause slow clotting or bleeding. I had that problem with the baby aspirin so now I take it every other day instead of daily. (problems with bruising) For that reason I want to take tumeric, but am a bit hesitant.
Elaine, you had mentioned milk thistle in an earlier post on this thread. I had read that milk thistle can mimic estrogen and therefore should be possibly avoided if the breast cancer tumor was hormone sensitive. Comments?
