A member asked:
Anyone tried turmeric powder for breast cancer? does it help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely to help: There are some claims made that turmeric might prevent development of cancer. But once you have cancer already, applying turmeric powder is unlikely to do much good. It has some antiinflammatory effects but cancer needs more treatment than just some simply remedy like turmeric!
