Dear Annie: I previously worked with a woman, “Loretta,” who I’ve maintained a relationship with for more than 20 years. We were never close, meeting-for-lunch type friends – more of a talk-once-a-month type. However, this changed when Loretta experienced financial difficulties, a marital separation and attempted suicide.
Dear Doctors: I am a 67-year-old physically active man. I was taking turmeric three times a day for several weeks to reduce workout-related inflammation. I ended up in the hospital with an abscess and small intestine perforation. I have read excess turmeric may cause this. Please comment.
