Has anyone tried making the LET of turmeric? I find the herb very helpful
but personally can only take so much.

As an addition to my previous response, one possibility would be the use of
curcumin.
Curcumin has been shown to prevent the accumulation of amyloid proteins in
the brain and possibly reduce amyloid accumulations in the brain. I have not
seen any data regarding curcumin and amyloid accumulation other than in the
brain, however it might help reduce amyloid accumulation in the body
overall. Curcumin is found naturally in the spice turmeric which generally
contains 3 to 5% curcumin. You can buy standardized extracts of curcumin,
usually 90 - 95% curcumin. Or you can just use turmeric powder or make your
own turmeric tincture. Adjust the amount of turmeric used to get the desired
amount of curcumin. Personally, I believe that whole herb tinctures that
contain all the plant substances are generally better than isolated
extracts.
Because the body metabolizes curcumin so quickly, bioavailability is a
problem with curcumin.
See: Bioavailability of Curcumin: Problems and Promises
http://mccormickscienceinstitute.org/assets/Mol%20Pharm.%202007%20Nov_Dec;4(6)807-18.pdf
But there are some products that give improved bioavailability.
As far as I know, there are four forms of improved bioavailability curcuman
available commercially:
1. Curcumin with Bioperene (aka pepperine) (A number of sources are
available)
2. Biocurcumax - Curcumin blended with turmeric oil (an essential oil).
3. Lipisomal encapsulated curcumin A number of sources are available.
4. Curcumin suppositories
Biocurcumax is more more bioavailable than curcumin with Bioperene and lasts
roughly twice as long in the bloodstream (8 hrs).
I haven't seen data on Lipisomal encapsulated curcumin but my guess is that
it is as good as Biocurcumax.
Because substances absorbed in the large intestine bypass the liver during
absorption, curcumin taken by suppository lasts longer in vivo than orally
ingested curcumin.
You can mix freshly ground black pepper with curcumin (or turmeric) to get
something similar to Curcumin with Bioperene.
You can mix curcumin with turmeric oil to get something similar to
Biocurcumax. Turmeric oil is available online as an essential oil
Here is a link to the curcumin study:

It is claimed that serrapeptase will dissolve the excess protein that causes
amyloidosis.

I was wondering if there was some one out there that would make me some CS.
I will pay for the shipping and what ever else you may need to get it to me.
I just found out I have what is called Amyloidosis. It's incurable and will
probably die some day of this. I would like to take CS to see if it will
help this amyloidosis
