Hi I have on going health conditions for 14 years mostly chronic fatigue. Pain which seems to have spread from lower right hand bowel area burning into lower back. Now in my liver and scan has suggested that their are noncancerous tumors, though I don't think they are tumors as they are painful wondering if they are abscess, may by some kind of infection that has spread. I don't know though I am wondering if it may be some kind of autoimmune like lupus because I now have burning in hands and knees.
Anyway the turmeric seemed like it would be good as many of the symptoms I have seem to be relieved by it. However I took it for a week and my symptoms seem to have got worse to the point that I have now stopped it. In the first few days I developed a cough and it hurt the painful bit in my liver when I coughed. I don't know if I should try it again but just take a really small amount.
Any advise would be welcomed. Moonie64

Moonie64 --- I have tried turmeric in whey powder and water for a liver complaint for a month. It may have had a good effect elsewhere but I noticed no improvement.
I am always taking Milk Thistle as a tincture and it works very well. It can be taken several times a day. For the abscess type of complaint try ESSIAC tea from Essiac West online. It really addresses these things. I am taking it at the present time.
Namaste, Om

Hi Moonie64.
You don't say how you are taking the Turmeric? From what I've read, you need to add some black pepper and take with a fat. such as virgin coconut oil. (Which also has many health benefits, as well). Your reaction, could be your body getting rid of toxins? It sounds like you could have Fibromyalgia. so, maybe do some research on that? There are many symptoms. (I have it). Hope that may help you. x
