Turmeric root is minimizing my gynecomastia. I tried weights as i am an avid athlete yet it only creates a negative effect as my chest grows and the gynecomastia becomes more visible. I have been using turmeric root for about six months now and even after the second day, i experienced amazing results. All i do is fill a glass with water, pour two tablespoons of turmeric into it and heat it up for two minutes. Take it out the microwave, stir and drink.. Not as appetizing but done three times daily, ESPECIALLY before bed and you won't believe your results in the morning.

I hope this works, but I must admit - it sounds like it's too good to be true. You're not trying to sell anything in your recommendation of tumeric so I assume you mean well but the fact that tumeric isn't associated scientifically with a cure for gyno is reason to keep expectations low.
I will come back and report if I have any changes.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, tell me if your gyno was actual breast tissue (i.e. You could feel hardness in your chest like a pebble) or if it was just fat. Because I have actual tissue and nearly no body fat.

I have been a regular midium-heavy drinker for 40 years and "the alcohol turns the testosterone into estrogen" doesn't seem to apply to me.
Nevertheless, I admit alcohol MIGHT not be good to general health.

It's very unfortunate that you say that turmeric hasn't worked for you to help minimize your "manboobs". It's hard when you hear about a miracle cure that so men have experienced positive feedback from their body, and it doesn't seem to work for someone else. The reality is, there are some things that work for some that don't work for others. But if possible, try the turmeric pills... Works better I think

A guy above, says he takes 8 capsules 3-5X a day. Many things are ineffective when the dose is so low. No side effects on blog.

Selenium (Se) is a metal that is chemically similar to sulfur. It was first discovered in 1817 and because of its silvery color was named for Selene, the ancient goddess of the moon. Selenium is an essential component of two important antioxidant enzymes and is also the helpmate of vitamin E. Antioxidants Against Cancer by Ralph Moss PhD, page 76
Selenium also appears to help stimulate antibody formation in response to vaccines. This immunostimulating effect is also enhanced by vitamin E; the presence of these two nutrients can increase antibody formation by 20-30 times, as shown by research.
Staying Healthy With Nutrition by Elson M Haas MD, page 213
Vitamin E and selenium protected animals against the potent carcinogenic effects of DMBA from tobacco. Beating Cancer With Nutrition by Patrick Quillin, page 164
Selenium acts as an antioxidant and strengthens the body's immune defense system. Thus, many of the effects which are produced by vitamin E deficiency can be reversed or prevented by selenium. Some laboratory experiments have suggested that the combination of vitamin E and selenium is more effective in preventing cancer than either of them alone.

No one fall for this, especially not anonymous testimonies online. Has anyone ever noticed that that are anecdotal reports of turmeric's effectiveness for treating gynecomastia, but yet, no one has ever provided documented proof? No one has before or after photos. Imagine going to a surgeon who has no proof, just anonymous testimonies regarding his effectiveness in treating gyno... it'd be hard to trust a doctor like that, wouldn't it?
Furthermore, let's apply some common sense. Take a look at bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman. The guy has slight gyno, but yet, he has around 5% bodyfat. So we know that being overweight is not his problem. So, does anyone seriously think that Coleman wouldn't know of a natural remedy if one existed (that said I don't know why he doesn't just get surgery). Or take a look at "the Rock" Dwayne Johnson. He had to get gyno surgery... does anyone seriously think the Rock wouldn't have known about a natural remedy?
I REALLY wish turmeric was real. But I'm afraid it simply isn't. My theory on those of you who think it has eliminated your gyno is that it hasn't. What has happened is that at best, it shrunk the gland and you carry enough bodyfat to no longer notice it. But if you were ever to drop your bodyfat % to less than 10%, then you'd see them sticking out again. Another possibility is that you were lucky and your gyno went away on its own, unrelated to the turmeric, which might have happened if you are still young and were finishing puberty. And of course, at worst, you're simply lying and you know it.

Ever thought about upping the dosage, or taking a reliable brand?

I'm no doctor, James, so all I can say is what I did in the past to eliminate my gynecomastia. After doing my own research, (which I recommend you do as well) I decided that I would consume 7 turmeric capsules 3 times per day. Just a cup of water and some turmeric. What's crazy is that I was able to see results on a daily basis. I had gynecomastia while in high school, so I was never a fan of taking off my shirt, and things didn't get any better during college. But thankfully, my research paid off and I'm gynecomastia-free. My turmeric discovery led me to ask 'if turmeric can do this so quickly for my body, what can other herbs do?' The adventure continues. Good luck James.
To Matt from Tacoma, WA:
In hindsight, I wish I did take before/after pics. Back then, my plight wasn't something I was interested in sharing with the world.
If one buys a $10 bottle of turmeric capsules and it doesn't work, then one will have only wasted $10. But what if it DOES work, and a person gets rid of his gyno for good, isn't it worth it? It's unfortunate that it hasn't work for you, Matt and I empathize with your frustration; I wonder how long you used turmeric before you decided it simply wasn't working; I do agree with you, individuals should research and draw their own conclusions. Now, the idea of natural cures like turmeric for celebrities...?! When they can afford the exorbitant prices doctors charge for "quick fixes"?! Not many surgeons are willing to risk losing an easy, hefty paycheck by telling their patient about a $10 cure.
