Dieneke Ferguson who recovered blood cancer with turmeric and living a happy life now
After she started showing improvement, doctors said she was the first patient to recover by using the spice after stopping conventional medical treatments. Her doctors wrote in the British Medical Journal Case Reports:
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in which curc u min has demonstrated an objective response in progressive disease in the absence of conventional treatment.
The doctors have suggested the spice can protect against several diseases including cancers, Alzheimer, heart disease and depression.
The myeloma started spreading rapidly after her three rounds of chemotherapy and four stem cell transplants. Following this, the 67-year-old began taking 8g of curc u min (one of the major component found in turmeric) per day.
The north London native, Ferguson was diagnosed with the blood cancer in 2007- she continued to take curc u min without further treatment and now her cancer cell count is negligible and lives a stable happy life, said her doctors.
