Curcumin Treatment Progress
« on: January 13, 2005, 12:21:21 PM »

I think a seperate thread for those who are trying Curcumin is a good idea - It will leave the "Curcumin - Stat 3 - Psoriasis" thread free for technical & research discussion.


I'll lead the way with my experiences thus far....


As I've stated elsewhere, I'm not a good guide to the efficacy of Curcumin's effect on P because I have been relatively free of P since going on a dairy free diet approx two years ago.

However, in the past, whenever I have resumed eating dairy, mainly cheese, my P begins to return about 2 weeks after resuming eating dairy.

Three weeks ago I began taking 3 x 500mg of Curcumin daily with food - At the same time I began to eat large quantities of various cheeses (I love the stuff) - So far to date there is no sign of my P returning - Actually I did have two very small patches of scalp P which disappeared about 2 weeks after commencing Curcumin.

At this stage that proves nothing to me - But it does seem promising - However, I'm sure that there will be far more better 'case studies' than me.

Of notable interest....

On the first day that I commenced taking Curcumin I experienced mild all over skin itching, which I never have suffered from previously - It did cease after the first day though (Can't be certain it was Curcumin related)

The other major effect, which I don't wish to trivialise & am indeed a little reluctant to mention, but in the scheme of revealing all....

I'm normally a fairly randy red-blooded male who experiences a goodly number of erections a day - However, since taking Curcumin, my daily rises have at least doubled  :o  I'm almost certain that this effect has come from the Curcumin - I have never read anywhere that Curcumin has this effect, although I have read many accounts that Curcumin can increase blood flow & that could be the explanation - It will be interesting to see if any other guys experience this phenomenom.

It will also be interesting to hear if there is a corresponding female effect.


Feel free to add your experiences of taking Curcumin on this thread.

Hi all,
Currently on day 6 of Curcumin (Solgar tabs), started initially on 3 x 285mg tabs with meals, but following advice from Aussie Guy upped it to 6 x 285mg tabs (with meals)

Effects so far:
1. A slight bloated (windy) stomach, nothing major
2. Elbows,  seem flatter and appear to be fading slightly, skin on elbows appear also to be peeling (like sunburn), almost no itching now on elbows
3. Scalp, would say an improvement generally all over, especially hairline, around ears. Nowhere near as many "blizards" from rubbing/scratching hair.
4. Lower back, much flatter, nowhere near as itchy and flaky.
5. Legs and everywhere else, much the same as normal, but would definately say not as itchy.
6. Sexual activity, will come back to you on that one but looking forward to similar effect as Aussie Guy is having !!!!

Will keep posting going forward.

Cheers
DD

LOL Colin and Su  ;) :o ;)

Day 1 for me today so nothing to report.

I am not sure I will be reporting on ALL effect though. I'll see how confident or self conscious i feel about it when writing.

End of week 1 no major improvements but wait... :)
I have had a few days when the skin has been itchy but it dies down.

So , i said no major improvements for 1st week now on 1 week and 1 day and skin seems flatter. HOWEVER i have had added another two protocols to my treatment regime in the last two days. I wont say what they are yet in case they dont work so watch this space. If all three things work together it would still prove a very cheap protocol for people to follow. One is for the mind, one if for the internal body (curcumin) and one if for the skin

I will also report when i get some results, as like Salsera, i only got mine today.  I'd be surprised if Sals had ANY erections, let alone increased erectons .

Mind you Sals, you could make a fortune if you did  :o
