Incredible story about how TURMERIC is the bomb diggity!

A woman who battled blood cancer for years without success finally halted the disease with turmeric, it has been reported.

Dieneke Ferguson is now leading a normal life after giving up on gruelling treatments that failed to stop it.

Doctors say her case is the first recorded instance in which a patient has recovered by using the spice after stopping conventional medical treatments.

With her myeloma spreading rapidly after three rounds of chemotherapy and four stem cell transplants, the 67-year-old began taking 8g of curcumin a day – one of the main compounds in turmeric.

Dieneke Ferguson had been diagnosed with the blood cancer myeloma 
in 2007 and had undergone three rounds of chemotherapy 
as well as four stem cell transplants

Dieneke is still taking 8g of curcumin in tablet form daily 
— the equivalent of about two teaspoonfuls of pure powdered curcumin

The cancer, which has an average survival of just over five years, was causing increasing back pain and she had already had a second relapse.

But it stabilised after Mrs Ferguson, from north London, came across the remedy on the internet in 2011 and decided to try it as a last resort.

 The tablets are expensive – £50 for ten days – but as kitchen turmeric contains just 2 per cent curcumin it would be impossible to eat enough to get the same dose.  Mrs Ferguson, who was first diagnosed in 2007, continues to take curcumin without further treatment and her cancer cell count is negligible.

Her doctors, from Barts Health NHS Trust in London, wrote in the British Medical Journal Case Reports: ‘To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in which curcumin has demonstrated an objective response in progressive disease in the absence of conventional treatment.’

The experts, led by Dr Abbas Zaidi, said some myeloma patients took dietary supplements alongside conventional treatment but ‘few, if any, use dietary supplementation as an alternative to standard antimyeloma therapy’.

Since the turn of the century, more than 50 studies have tested curcumin 
– the pigment in turmeric that gives it its bright yellow colour

But they added: ‘In the absence of further antimyeloma treatment the patient plateaued and has remained stable for the past five years with good quality of life.’

Since the turn of the century, more than 50 studies have tested curcumin – the pigment in turmeric that gives it that bright yellow colour.

A CENTURIES-OLD EASTERN REMEDY

• Turmeric is a yellow spice widely used as a flavouring in the Indian subcontinent and as a food colouring by industry
• It is ground from the dried root of an Asian plant called Curcuma longa and has been used in Eastern medicine for centuries
• Curcumin - turmeric’s active ingredient - has significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties
• Studies have shown it is an effective painkiller and also reduces the risk of lung disease, Alzheimer’s, heart disease and depression.

But although it is widely used in Eastern medicine, and has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects, curcumin is not widely prescribed because it has never been tested in large-scale trials.

The doctors wrote that the ‘biological activity of curcumin is indeed remarkable’, including its ‘anti-proliferative effects in a wide variety of tumour cells’. 

But Professor Jamie Cavenagh, one of the authors of the paper, stressed it may not work for all patients. He said: ‘A lot of my patients take curcumin at different stages of their treatment. I don’t object to it.

‘Dieneke’s is the best response I have observed and it is clear-cut because we had stopped all other treatment.’

Mrs Ferguson, who runs Hidden Art, a not-for-profit business helping artists market their work, is frustrated doctors cannot recommend the spice and wants more research carried out.

She said: ‘I hope my story will lead to more people finding out about the amazing health benefits of curcumin.’

Myeloma affects some 5,500 people in the UK every year, killing nearly 3,000.

Light

May these words be the first to find your ears
The world is brighter than the sun now that you're here
Though your eyes will need some time to adjust
To the overwhelming light surrounding us

I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will soften every edge
I'll hold the world to its best
And I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I will defend your every breath
And I'll do better

Cause you are loved
You are loved more than you know
I hereby pledge all of my days
To prove it so
Though your heart is far too young to realize
The unimaginable light you hold inside

I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will rearrange the stars
Pull 'em down to where you are
I promise I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I'll defend your every breath
I promise I'll do better
I will soften ever edge
Hold the world to its best
I promise I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I'll defend your every breath
I'll do better

Unfriggenbelievable Lyrics...

I just found this song online on a blog I follow.. 

 I wonder what this man's daughter will feel when she hears these lyrics written about her...     makes my heart want to explode!

"Life"

It began

With a whisper in my ear:

"I think it's time."

Suddenly all we held dear was on the line.

As your heart measured in mountains fell and climbed.

You're okay, you're okay, you're okay, you're okay.

Amen.

We were changed in an instant.

We became so much more.

Our definition of perfect was written when she was born.

She drew her first breath out of what love meant.

In my heart, reconciled all the darkness and light inside my chest.

As her hands held tight.

And her eyes met mine, I saw the future unfold in sliver and gold.

And I'm already proud.

Beautiful like your mother,

You are grace, you are light.

The better version of our past.

From the start of life.

We will learn from each other.

As you grow up, we will too.

And our reflections of one another.

We will start something new.

We were changed in an instant.

We became so much more.

Our definition of perfect was written when you were born.

There is so much to tell you.

There is so much to see.

We will show you the oceans, and everything in between.

What a privilege to love you,

To teach you all that we know.

To watch you build a collection of dreams that you can call your own.

You are beautiful like your mother.

You are grace, you are light. Oh.

A better version of our past.

From the start of life.

We were changed in an instant,

When we became so much more. Oh.

Our definition of perfect was written when you were born.
