Not sure about the Spirulina or Chlporella, but I take turmeric daily. I have had chronic left hip pain since diagnosis and the turmeric helps me GREATLY!!

I think its great to talk about natural ways, even if they dont cure us.

So thanks for getting the conversation started.

I'm just as interested in doing what i can do be healthier, or as healthy as I can potentially be.

Those of you who can't take Spirulina or Tumeric, is there a contraindication or is it b/c of tummy upset?

I use the spices/foods but I don't want to cause problems if there is some reason not to. Let me know!

Also- have there been any good threads on the forum about diets/herbs?

I just signed up this year so I feel like I've probably missed all the great discussions about this topic.

Tumeric can be a problem for those of us on warfarin.

Activation of autoimmunity following use of immunostimulatory herbal supplements. - PubMed - NCBI

Spirulina will stimulate your immune response, it is seriously toxic to us.

Ditto Echinacea, Goldenseal, Astragalus.

Important for us to know and remember.

The literature that comes with Cytoxan also says to avoid turmeric. Still, I used a little curry here and there during that time, in great moderation. I think it is important to know because people may otherwise take supplements of it to reduce inflammation.
