Combining curcumin (C3-complex, Sabinsa) with standard care FOLFOX chemotherapy in patients with inoperable colorectal cancer (CUFOX): study protocol for a randomised control trial:

dr Lynn Howells from the UK has been working for several years on curcumin and colon cancer. I watched her in an interview in the Food Hospital and she explained and showed with microscope how cancer cells decrease when curcumin is introduced. that was quite impressive. so Ive researched her scientific articles to find the dosage she is studying for colon cancer patients and what kind of curcumin exactly. it seems the 3 curcumin complex is what to aim for. I didnt find Sabinsa at the health food store, but I found ''NOW Curcumin complex'' which is basically the same as Sabinsa. Ive been taking curcumin for quite some time now, but from another brand (not 3 complex) and with much lower dosage (600mg daily) than what seems to be targeted/therapeutic (above 1,8 g daily).
the 3C complex in NOW:
curcumine 492mg
demethoxycurcumin 118mg
bisdemethoxycurcumine 20mg
the NOW capsules total 665mg so I'll be taking 3 capsules daily. this comes to about 45$ monthly (less expensive than most brands). I find it quite reassuring that curcumin has been found in colon biopsies after oral administration. we ear so often about its poor biodisponiblity... hoping to see some results in my arthritis.
