Do you remember Banu Gul

[Guest guest]

Recently I was wondering why we haven't heard from her since last fall, so I

emailed her.

She replied and will send info she sent.

I was particularly interested in the curcumin info.

She has an Electrical Engineering degree (like me) and a MS in Biomedical

Engineering so I consider her information very important.

Please be positive on any posts she may present. She is in Turkey and is doing

better on the English language.

have painfull spasms. More interestingly in barium swallov test all barium

filled in my esophagus till throat i thought i will die:) No even one ml did not

Hi RAY 2-23-11

Yes i am in turkey istanbul. You are sure writing with a poor english may be a

contributor for low interest to my mails.

For now i have not a friend to develop my mails to correct bad grammer.

i dont much relate with surgery or dilatation procedures. Because the succes

rate of them are at %90 for myotomy. All the procedures puts a mechanical

solution without regarding of histopathologic observations.i dont focuse that

treatments untill feeling i am in unmanageable phase.

You can post my mail to group with a suitable comment. Banu

Thanks for your interest.

You are sure i could not post or share with group. The most important one is

lacking of interest of my posts.Generally i follow posts to get more clue to

light possible future developments about achalasia.

i want mention about my condition as you remember my ke factor was curcumin. i

discontinued curcumin 2 months ago due to hyper sensation at esophagus and

depression problems.depressive problems was related with dysphagy .and i had

hyper tension problems even before achalasia.

at least i used 10 month of curcumin usage in this time interval i regain weight

as adding a least 30 lbs .before curcumin i had significant problems even

drinking water. Now dyspaghy disappeared my esophageal sensation heatburn and

regurgitation resolved without using ppi.

i feel my self more enrgetic. i dont know this recovery period is temporal or

not.

but i understand at least one year is needed to get some benefits from

curcumin.i use serotonin uptake inhibitor for depression for two months as

escilatopram that completley resolved my hyper sensation and mood problems still

i continue.

Feeling all things going stomach is a miracle.

Sinserely care yourself...

Best wishes

Banu...

Ray, as an engineer you may be familiar with the design process in which

there is a time to be positive and times to critical. In the early brain

storming portion any idea should be accepted without criticism no matter

how ridiculous it is. The ridiculous idea may be just the thing to

stimulate a better creative thought that leads to a good solution.

Latter when data is presented to analyze the merits of the proposed

solutions one must be critical of bad data, bad interpretations and bad

methods of producing data.

I will try to be positive about suggestions for doing research.

I reserve the right to be critical of bad data, or bad interpretation of

data, or bad methods used to produce the data.

I also reserve the right to question safety and to criticize claims that

could put believers in risk.

BTW: I thought, and do think, researching curcumin was, and is, a great

idea.
