Circumin is a VDR agonist. The VDR or vitamin D receptor controls transcription of at least 1000 genes in the body. There is increasing evidence that VDR agonists help autoimmune conditions. I googled "curcumin vdr agonist" and there are quite a few results, many of them linked to cancer. The "native" VDR agonist is calcitriol, but that is toxic in anything but low doses. If you take Vitamin D it gets converted to calcitriol and you can get too much. I am on a VDR agonist treatment that uses olmesartan. They've had good results with many autoimmune conditions, but so far I can't say if it's working for me.

Olmesartan is known to reduce hemoglobin. Theoretically, it is temporary.
