Will turmeric root help you? How much should you be taking? Dr. Phelts realizes that although a remedy will cure most people, there in no single remedy that can cure everybody or every disease. Also, not everyone will benefit from the same dose of a food. Some will need more than others and some less. Dr. Phelts does not recommend any remedy without first testing to see:
- If turmeric root is safe for you to take
- If turmeric root will benefit you
- How much turmeric root you should be taking daily
