| Re: Cure for cancer: CURRY!
Tala, Sorry to hear about your dad. Prior to my mom’s death from cancer (also a very short time from diagnosis to her death), I was blissfully ignorant of the ways that cancer can impact an entire family. Ardneham is absolutely right, we need to have hope, which is why loved ones spend hours searching the internet for possible cures. Understanding this need for hope, irrational as it may be, isn’t possible until someone has been in the helpless position of watching a loved one die. After watching the degradation of my mother and thinking that dying from cancer is an awful way to have your life end, it’s a bit of a consolation to read about current research in the hopes that other people won’t have to go through the same thing. To return to the subject of this thread -- Curcumin (not curry !) keeps popping up as the subject of some interesting research. I included the link for information from the American Cancer Society in an earlier post in this thread. Two weeks ago, the BBC series, Grow Your Own Drugs, featured a traditional Malaysian drink made from tumeric that is supposed to help with arthritis.  |
