A sharing on the Golden Paste (turmeric paste)

In Feb 2016, we published this: https://animalcare.my/2016/02/23/the-golden-paste-recipe-for-your-pets/.

Agnes followed the recipe and has this to share:

A street cat that I feed at a street junction has many health issues. At first it was gum infection n 8 teeth were extracted. Then drooling recurred due to tongue ulcer. Various treatments including laser, antibiotic n steroids failed to heal the ulcer. Then I tried giving the turmeric golden, n this paste worked like magic. The ulcer vanished in just 5 days…no more drooling since then.

I kept him inside a cage in my house for the treatment. He was then released to join the community of cats I feed every morning.

The turmeric golden paste is a magical cure!!

The tongue ulcer.

Please also note this (from the website):

Remember, turmeric powder that has on average 3% – 5% curcumin (possibly a little higher in some batches) is effective and can be safely used daily for a lifetime in most cases. Always check first with your treating doctor if you have any chronic health issues, or if you have any doubts.

PLEASE NOTE: Pure Curcumin capsules, (ie. @ 95% curcumin) are NOT recommended by this website, due to possible liver damage.

An alternative point of view (it pays to be careful and to use in moderation): http://www.foodfurlife.com/turmeric–the-golden-paste—unsafe-for-cats.html

So to play it safe, just use it when necessary. A friend also shared that turmeric may not be suitable for people with liver problems.

Liver injury
Turmeric supplements can cause liver injury in some people, and should be avoided by people with existing or previous liver problems. Turmeric-induced liver injury is considered rare, but it’s one of the most common causes of dietary supplement liver injury.

Updated note: Turmeric supplements have been found to cause liver injury in certain humans. Use with caution and in moderation.
