- Dieneke Ferguson, 67, had given up on gruelling treatments and chemotherapy
- With her myeloma spreading she began taking 8g of curcumin a day
- The cancer stabilised in what doctors say was the first case of its kind
A woman who battled blood cancer for years without success finally halted the disease with turmeric, it has been reported.
Dieneke Ferguson is now leading a normal life after giving up on gruelling treatments that failed to stop it.
Doctors say her case is the first recorded instance in which a patient has recovered by using the spice after stopping conventional medical treatments.
With her myeloma spreading rapidly after three rounds of chemotherapy and four stem cell transplants, the 67-year-old began taking 8g of curcumin a day – one of the main compounds in turmeric.

I had bicep pain for a year after a too tight automated blood pressure cuff squeezed the daylights out of my bicep. It was a major concern because I only have two arms and the other one was sore from what felt like blood clots after a blood draw the week before.
I read that turmeric rebuilds the endothilia, the inner walls of blood vessels.
So for 10 months I have taken 2 level measuring teaspoons turmeric powder mornings, along with a level 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper to increase curcumin absorption by up to 20 times.
The results for muscle pain have been great and the pain is just nearly totally gone.
I was glad to find a 5 lb box of turmeric powder for $12 and change at Winco Foods in western states and in Dallas, TX.
They also have ground black pepper in bulk at about $9 per pound.
I also found black pepper at Big Lots for $1 in a 2.5 oz shaker which would be $6.40 per pound. I would have preferred fine ground black pepper but when available, it was pricey.
So turmeric has been very good to me and turmeric also improves mood in a mellow way.
If I were to have or were to develop cancer in any way, turmeric might resolve cancer in a positive way.
Suffice to say that I ordered a pound of the mac & cheese or nacho cheese liquefier/thinner, sodium citrate for my clots and it worked like a charm.
I took I think a level teaspoon morning and afternoon. The clot pain started going away after two days. It has a lot of sodium so I only took sodium citrate for 2 months and keep a pound on hand just in case.
