A woman who battled blood cancer for years without success finally halted the disease with turmeric, it has been reported.

Dieneke Ferguson is now leading a normal life after giving up on gruelling treatments that failed to stop it.

Doctors say her case is the first recorded instance in which a patient has recovered by using the spice after stopping conventional medical treatments.

With her myeloma spreading rapidly after three rounds of chemotherapy and four stem cell transplants, the 67-year-old began taking 8g of curcumin a day ? one of the main compounds in turmeric...

Thanks, Shiloh. That is hopeful. I've noticed that what seems like an unusual number of people get myeloma where I live now. I've used tumeric formulas for pain control myself, and used it in skin remedies. I've been happy with results, but want to share that tumeric is thought to be blood thinning so could be a problem if someone has a medical condition making them prone to bleeding or bruising or they are taking anti-coagulants. (For me that could even be a pain cream that has aspirin-like ingredients.)
