Unusual but true: World's first virtual cocktail hijacks your senses

Woman battled blood cancer with turmeric

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

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.

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