Kickas.org Forums Treatments, Drugs and Alternatives NSD and diet-related; Is baby aspirin okay?

I'm going to be seen for a dermatology appt follow up soon, after having melanoma last summer (I get seen every 3 months). Recently there was some information about a study done suggesting that baby aspirin daily could help combat recurrences of melanoma. I'm off all NSAIDS...but wonder if baby aspirin a small enough dose that it would not be problematic for people with AS? If my dermatologist suggest this for her patients, I want to be thinking about it, and would love any feedback you may have first! Thank you so much.

Hey Jan,

I would go with a daily dose of curcumin. Super anti-inflammatory, natural TNF-Blockers, and there are studies out there about it's benefit against melanoma: http://www.melanoma.org/community/mpip-m...hting-substance

Best place to get it: http://www.turmeric-curcumin.com/

I was told about it by a older fellow who has been taking it for years along with NSD and is now totally symptom free of AS.

I take curcumin (turmeric extract) a fews times a week to wipe out any aches or pains.

Thank you Andrea, that is very encouraging! I take Zyflamend, which has lots of turmeric in it, I wonder if that is good enough. Maybe I should add straight curcumin as a supplement, thank you for providing that link. When I was first diagnosed with uveitis, I had no idea about AS or anything. My eye flared so badly, even with strong pred forte drops every half hour at one point. I could see nothing from that eye, not even shadows. My late mother researched and bought me turmeric capsules. Meantime, I found out some information about anti-inflammatory eating and coincidence? My flare started to calm down until my eye had no cells of inflammation!
Thanks again, my friend!
