Indians use it every day. They also get all kinds of diseases. Turmeric has been promoted to good effect by many and as a physician I know about it and use it. BUT please don't call this a cure. That is misleading. A cancer patient should get the standard treatments and may add turmeric if they choose to do so. Won't you feel responsible for someone's life who believes in the hype and opts for turmeric instead of usual therapy. !
