Too much iron defeats the benefit of curcumin, but too little means depressed hemoglobin. Yikes. Maybe I'll just settle for whatever iron comes along in the food, as I have been doing.

I have metallic fillings in my teeth which are decades old. My Haematologist says "leave them alone" so does my dentist, but I feel uneasy knowing that with every bite I take some dangerous molecules come off the fillings and enter my system. I have just finished reading "The Enzyme Factor" by Prof. Hiromi Shinya,MD,a leading gastroenterologist,who says we should chew each bite of food 40 to 70 times. ( Releasing More nanoparticles of heavy metal?) I consume a fair amount of turmeric with my food, but no curcumin (not yet). It's a dilemma. BTW I saw the consultant on Monday who said there was no change in my readings since the last tests 6 months earlier, in fact very little change since first I was diagnosed with MGUS 5 years ago,so it encourages me to carry on as usual. Thanks for a highly informative statement;I shall try to ensure that my diet contains plenty of chelating agents henceforward. Best wishes, Old Bill.
