Re: Ginger can help reduce side effects of Chemotherapy

Hi Marion,

I didn't think there was a problem with the address or link that you posted. I just thought that the topic of ginger for nausea etc was interesting and thought I would post another link in case someone else wanted some more info on it. Tumeric's another spice where I think there have been some studies done on it. But from what I see here it does also have some problems with it also.

"People with bleeding disorders, obstructions of the bile duct, or a history of ulcers also should avoid turmeric."

Thanks Marion!

Hugs,
