I dissolve mine in coconut oil so that it goes into my lymphatic drainage system, instead of my blood. Thankz ECReplied by Lewis (Circleville, Ohio,USA) on 08/26/2008

"In order for curcumin to be maximally effective against cancer, it MUST be introduced into the body in a bioavailable form. Curcumin is almost totally insoluble in water. On the other hand, it is completely soluble in fat.
Curcumin dissolves readily in coconut milk or cream, especially if they are warm. There is NO reason to boil coconut milk or cream in order to dissolve curcumin. Never boil anything unless you are absolutely certain the heat will not damage the medicinal properties of the natural medicine. I have no idea how heat stable curcumin is for medicinal purposes. So don't boil it.
Curcumin that is dissolved in fat will be introduced into the lymphatic system with the fat. There is exactly where we want curcumin to be introduced into the body. The lymphatic fluid bathes all the tissues in the body. We are NOT interested in directly introducing it into the blood.
People complain about the taste of curcumin. So add other spices, such as turmeric, or other spices to the mix to change the taste.
How much curcumin do we need to treat cancer and leukemia? No one knows but I would recommend at least 10 grams a day, 5 grams twice a day dissolved in fat. Since curcumin is not toxic, why screw around with low doses?
You must use glutamine, at least 20 grams a day, with the curcumin to make it maximally effective. I blogged on this issue yesterday.
Stay tuned...

I have tried to ingest curcumin, but have had problems with diarrhea. Have tried several brands (some with medium chain triglycerides) and always the same: cramping and diarrhea. I think eating yogurt at the same time might help a bit - seems to, but not significantly. I've dissolved the curcumin in oil, taken it with cod liver oil etc. No luck. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?Replied by Javagenie (Central, Vermont, Usa) on 05/07/2010
I've been reading up on this natural cure-all. It sounds great and can't wait to try it for some family members allergies and joint pain. However, I am confused by so many opinions on best ways to take it.
However, after hearing about it being soluable in fat/oils and best absorbed through the lymphatic system, I began to do some quick research. Then something immediately rang clear to me. Wouldn't combining tumeric with a long-chain fatty acids such as omega 3 dha/epa be the best solution?
A capsule of fish oil and a tsp of tumeric should yield a nice paste that can be then inserted into a capsule. Has anyone tried this? Or is there a flaw in my reasoning?Replied by Merryanne (Orange City, Fl) on 05/08/2010
I take turmeric by capsules 2, twice daily,,,You could just also take the oil caps at the same time and eat a bit or two of food at the same time and let nature do the combining. I also add turmeric to a lot of my cooking, any where there is any oil or fat I add some turmeric,,just a little and it gives a marvelous flavor and enhances the whole pot.:)Replied by Mariana (Ca) on 03/18/2015
I take 1 teaspoon of turmeric with my coffee, add 1/4 teaspoon of coconut oil, 1/4 teaspoon of some pepper, 3 to 4 times per day. if not with coffee I have tea. I use it because I have RA. I no longer have the pain like I use too. I would say about 80% less than before.
