Science Confirms Turmeric As Effective As 14 Drugs

Hi guys,

I came across this interesting article today . Considering how strong a track record turmeric (curcumin) has, having been used as both food and medicine in a wide range of cultures, for thousands of years, a strong argument can be made for using curcumin as a drug alternative or adjuvant in cancer treatment.

If it does have anti-platelet and prostacyclin modulating effects, compares favorably to steroids,effective alternative to anti inflammatories (please read article for rest). Could this help fibro in anyway?Anything is worth a try ;)

Wishing all my fibro family a 'comfortable' night

God bless

i have tumeric powder and was using it in foods but could not get the taste for it yet. ( not done with it yet! lol). I bought it for the health benefits. I have been using ginger for many years for its therapeutic benefits as well. I started using it many years ago for awful headaches and nausea and could get no relief from any drugs. I started with just a bit and developed the taste for it and then it started going in all my foods and my teas. .lol...

thanks for sharing and reminding me about the many benefits of tumeric!

Hi Guys,

This is exciting. Here is some evidence based research you can follow up and read.

RE: ingestion

You can take 'tumeric' as a powder or buy fresh - it looks like fresh ginger. Supplements as always -tablets, capsules, powder . You can have tumeric tea,facemasks ..... list is endless.

We automatically do think of food when we say turmeric so here are some recipes a Sjorgens member kindly gave me:

This link offers great site for research, tips etc.. if you wish to become more informed:

To summarise everything so you can get started lol!

-Turmeric - we mean 'curcumin' ,tumeric , per se, is not pure 'curcumin'

- Dosage needed - they suggest around or exceeding 1 gram per day. Pretty difficult to reach such levels just using the turmeric in your food as thats equivalent roughly to 1600mg twice a day with meals .

-Take an extract that contains significant amounts of 'curcumin' Most spices only contain 2%.

Quick tips:

-Curcumin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream, so consume black pepper with it, which contains 'piperine'… a natural substance that enhances the absorption of curcumin by 2000% .I am now swallowing a few small whole peppercorns along with my curcumin supplement, in order to enhance absorption ;).

- Curcumin is also fat soluble, so good idea to take it with a fatty meal. You all have excuses to go fry those chips and make yummy burgers ;). In the UK just hit the 'fish, chips and mushy peas ' !

Anyone interested can trial tumeric. Lets all see how we are in one month. Every little 'tool' helps!. Ill make a note to revisit post.

PS: dont forget tumeric stains hands, clothes yellow - so be warned ;)

Love it!

God bless
