Reminds me of the beautiful actress, Allison Hayes
She was getting up there in Hollywood. But she started to experience severe health problems and was unable to walk without a cane.
In severe pain, her usually good-natured personality began to change and she became emotional and volatile, making it difficult for her to secure acting work. She had a very minor role in the 1965 Elvis Presley film “Tickle Me,” making her final appearances in a guest role on Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. in 1967.
Hayes later said that the pain of her illness caused her to contemplate suicide, and that her symptoms were not taken seriously by doctors.
Reading a medical book about the metal poisoning of factory workers, Hayes recognized the symptoms described as being similar to her own.
Hayes began to question the ingredients of a calcium supplement she had been taking for a long time and when she employed a toxicologist to test a sample of the product, he determined that it had an extremely high content of lead and concluded that Hayes was most likely suffering from lead poisoning.
By then it was too late....her body had been fatally damaged by lead poisoning. She died soon after.
Amazing.
I’ve used different tumeric supplements over the past few years.
They seem to help me some.

I have very mixed feelings about supplements. I believe in many natural remedies, and the right of an individual to treat himself with them. At the same time, a lot of these things, and their processing, go unregulated. Also, medical doctors aren’t very knowledgeable about them.
I think you have to be very careful where you buy your supplements, and don’t try to save money by using things from less than highly reputable producers.
Turmeric has been used in food forever, and heavily in some cuisines. I wonder if this issue is something that occurs in just some people, like Fava bean ‘allergy’.
Unbelievable story!
You have got to be so careful with supplements. They’ve been pushing turmeric for a while now.
