Hi Eric, I am familiar with turmeric, and cook with it daily. A large bag (like a half pound) costs about 6 dollars in the US if you know where to look and get the good stuff. I see Whole Foods (part of the whole "natural" racket) sells a few tablespoons for the same price, and I doubt it's as potent.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think turmeric can be consumed in high enough quantities by most people to equal the volume of anti-oxidants my FIL is getting from goji berry.

I did not start my FIL on anti-oxidant therapy until well after his treatment was concluded.

I do not advocate this for everyone; I just decided to do it because I don't think it will hurt and it adds a lot of fiber to a liquidy diet.
