We have visited a centre for integrated medicine & he is starting a treatment with them in 2 weeks time. They do have photo dynamic therapy there but the Doc said he thinks it would be too overwhelming for the esoph as it is a delicate part of the body.
Can I ask how you buy your curcumin? Do you take it in capsules or powder? We tried Turmeric previously but it got lost with all the sickness from chemo/radio.
I have not got the company names, there are ony 3 in the USA selling at the moment. Google "where to buy LONGVIDA". You will see quite a lot of basic info there. You shouldn't pay anymore than $38 incl frt. Straight ground tumeric requires too much to be of benefit.
As for PDT the esophagus is one of the major uses. The procedure is limited because you must put a light source in and there arent many places with a hole to light up. Call Roswell park in Buffalo Dr. NAVA office for info.
