My husband is big on supplements. This is contrary to our local hematologist's thinking who would prefer Bruce discontinue everything except prescription medication.
Bruce's preference is to keep taking them. We no longer buy "drugstore" supplements. One of the main issues with curcumin is poor bioavailability. So, Bruce is taking a curcumin supplement which is supposed to have improved bioavailability.put out by Thorne Labs, a company which our medical doctor feels is reliable.
As an interesting side note, I did find a current clinical trial for low risk MDS patients involving Maitake Mushrooms at Sloan Kettering. http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/sh...splasia&rank=1
