Turmeric Curcumin Put to the Test for Inflammatory Bowel Disease Michael Greger M.D. FACLM
| Placebo + standard care | 8 out of 39 relapsed (20%) | clinically worse |
| Curcumin + standard care | 2 out of 43 relapsed (5%) | clinically better |
- … researchers extended the study for another six months but put everyone on the placebo to ensure the initial findings were not some aberration. The curcumin was stopped to see if that group would then start relapsing, too—and that’s exactly what happened. Suddenly, they became just as bad as the original placebo group.”
“… Why did it take so long? Well, who’s going to fund such a study? Big Curry?”
