Curcumin and EGCG

Hi,

Has anyone made use of curcumin, a constituent of turmeric, or EGCG, a major constituent of green tea.

Both have many studies showing benefit for cancers and combination with treatments. Among their mechanisms of action are decreasing NF-Kb, a DNA transcription factor known to suppress cancer cell or cancerous stem cell death (apoptosis). Or, in other words, allowing . They both have other mechanisms that benefit health. Curcumin is being combined with cytotoxic therapies because it sensitizes cells to the chemo-drugs or reverses resistance.

They are being looked into for MDS, really for any blood or even solid tumor. Because aberrant inflammatory pathways are so significant in cancers, illnesses in general, and autoimmune problems, these are even being looking into in the world of blood/marrow transplant.

Wondering if anyone has used these and at what doses.
