HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, all the pathologic conditions needs to be treated with pharmaceutical molecules (Medicines) only and nothing could be helpful besides this even the disease that your husband got, so I would advise to continue with the given medicine and do not try anything else, perhaps it cause some other complication than benefit of cure, (Turmeric and milk are just the diet and not the medicine, hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
