This is it. It is a high dose, but it has been used in mice (not to say that equates to human safety). I would need to find out exactly how much cox-2 inhibition one would be achieving at the dose of 10 grams. Another thing to consider is whether one develops tolerance to the cox-2 inhibition.
Inflamation may have a role in depression too. For instance, inflamation blocks neurogenesis. In addition, some chemotheraputic agents are able to trigger severe depression by activating certain cytokins and inkerleukens.
I don't think I would wipe turmeric off the map as a potential treatment. Even if one cannot take a theraputic dose, it may be able to combine it with other reversable MAOI's to achieve a theraputic effect.
For instance, tuermic + beta carbolines, or maybe turmeric + moclobemide.
