turmeric

Has anyone had any experience using turmeric to guard against or help with MDS? There are several internet articles which say there are studies underway. Since I couldn't find anything negative on Turmeric I started using it a spice almost daily but did not start using any supplements which are available in pill form. I eat wild salmon quite a bit and found a recipe for using turmeric on it.
the wiki link on the topic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curcumin

Also found this on the MDanderson site that was recommended by gipper

Dr. Raza has done some work in this area and has had some success.

Hi Marlene, thank you for the link, I'm going to see if she takes my insurance on Monday and also ask my doctor about these trials.
