Feeling good with Multiple Myeloma
Once you officially become a “survivor”, you never really want to own up to feeling fabulous because you feel you might jinx it. In the interest of possibly helping others to regain their old self, I have to share this story of a guy from my Multiple Myeloma support group in Atlanta. His name is Vinnie M. I visited the Atlanta area MM group back in early 2006 when I was still battling with Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulenemia, which they say has characteristics of both MM and Non-hodgkins Lymphoma. I asked if anyone in the group was aware of any natural remedies that were working for them. In particular, with WM I think its the MM side of the disease that is the most dangerous. So Vinnie, who is a MM patient, says he has been following the clinical trial parameters of Circumin which is being studied by MD Anderson. I immediately start taking Circumin because I am committed to never ever going thru chemotherapy again, because I think it’s vile. Long story short, both Vinnie and I are still, knock on wood, without further progression of our respective diseases 3 years later. Perhaps there is something to this. In keeping with the demands of medical science which insist you tell your doctor of every single herb, vitamin and medication that you are taking, I always disclose the Circumin and never had any doctor tell me to stop. There are no side effects or intereactions that I could find. One other thing; in India, the incidence of cancer is 1/10th of the USA incidence of cancer and their diet is very heavy with Circumin/Turmeric which is the main ingredient of curry. So there.
