Curing cancer and other ailments?

Tumeric is multi wonderful. I get the tumeric root from the produce isle and steap a few slices it in a cup of hot water, a tea. It is a wonderful pain reliever

I make a paste with turmeric, water, coconut oil, ceylon cinnamon (to reduce the smell) and freshly ground black pepper.  Press into half teaspoon size silicone ice cube trays and pop it in the freezer.  My older 2 dogs and I each take a half teaspoon with breakfast and dinner.  (next dog down is a shar pei and they get a lot of health problems).  The pepper doesn't lose its freshness because it binds with the oil, and it amplifies x 10 the effectiveness of the turmeric, so I get a lot more cure for my dosage.  Too much turmeric can cause heartburn and burpy discomfort, which is why I make it this way. I buy my peppercorns in the big jar.

    So you swallow the half tsp with water or tea then?

Usually tea sometimes water. I try to let the ice cubes thaw a bit first, so it is kind of a melt in your mouth effect, the taste is worth the results. I put the dog's in wet dog food meat balls.

Cool! Thanks

How much turmeric, water, coconut oil, cinnamon and pepper to make the paste?  And would regular canned cinnamon and pepper from the spice aisle work?  I'd like more info on making this so I can try it.

peppercorns freshly ground and Spice Islands turmeric from the spice aisle will work, and any good grade of organic cold pressed coconut oil (I get mine at Costco)

1 cup water
1/2 cup turmeric (organic or good grade spice)
1/3 cup either cold pressed coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
1.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (I grind over the pan and make sure it looks like enough, fresh is what matters the most.
1/4 cup ceylon cinnamon if desired.

Stay away from grocery store cinnamon, you can make the paste without it.  It is used to deal with a smell issue on dogs taking turmeric. Their noses started to smell like cat pee so I ordered ceylon cinnamon and life smelled better.

1 cup cold water in saucepan, 1/2 cup organic turmeric (I used spice islands for first batch and it worked just fine even though not organic).  Heat on low heat stirring until mixture starts to bubble and it has a stiff texture, kind of a paste, turn off heat, keep stirring, Measure coconut oil and add (14 teaspoons=1/3 cup), grind pepper into measuring container or straight into the pan and stir immediately when it is in, to lock in the active part with the oil.
Stir in ceylon cinnamon if desired. 

Refrigerate or freeze at all times, or it will spoil.  I take and give my dogs 1/2 teaspoon in the morning after a meal and again at night.  It does not taste good, but it is very helpful so the taste is worth it.

To make it taste good stir into a smoothie (I am allergic to milk proteins that are also in soy, etc., so this is not an option for me.)  There are a lot of cooking type recipes for humans and dogs in the facebook group Turmeric Users Group.  I got the recipe and info there.

Thank you, Gypsy.

I have got to get my thyroid manageable at a very low cost.  If the affordable care act dies I probably will not be able to afford regular testing, can maybe manage my Armour.  Going to try to get a physical before the insurance goes away
