Might give it a try, especially as I am having some severe health problems and turmeric was recommended for me a while ago to help my body fight the side effects of the pain killers and other crap I need. What comes to reading abilities in general, my rare friends hate it because "you cannot be lied to about anything ever" and my family is very xtian and religious, they cannot tolerate anything of that sort. But I often use it to pick up very lonely or sad people from the crowd (at work and school) and cheer them up with some small talk, I would say it is 98% accurate. |
