Turmeric is a very powerful antioxidant. It is 300 times more effective than Vitamin E as an antioxidant. This is documented and measured on the basis of the amount of free radicals mopped up by the compound Curcumin in turmeric. Curcumin is the substance that gives the spice turmeric its yellow color. It has compounds that have potential health benefits. In lab tests the active ingredient in turmeric - curcumin, was found to enhance the cancer fighting power of treatment with TRAIL, a naturally occurring molecule that helps kill cancer cells. TRAIL stands for tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand. In an experiment with human breast cancer cells in a laboratory, the combination treatment with curcumin killed off two to three times more cancer cells than either treatment alone. Turmeric's best beneficial effects are when it comes to preventing various types of cancer rather than outright therapeutic effects. The present day conditions are extremely conducive for cancer. It has been estimated that as on today as much as 40% of Americans could develop some form of cancer. It has been established that everyday around 350 cancerous cells are formed in the body of a young healthy individual. But most of these deviant cells are killed by body's natural immune system even before these cells cross the microscopic stage. When the number of such deviant cells formed in the body increases and when the natural killer cell activity (immune system) decreases then these tumors can grow into a malignant form. At this stage clinical diagnosis of cancer happens. Turmeric is known to kill such deviant cancerous cells when they are in the microscopic stage itself. We recommend daily intake of Turmeric extract for everyone above the age of 21. We strongly recommend that every woman above the age of 21 must take turmeric extract. Turmeric has a proven history of forming a powerful shield against breast cancer. Anti cancer properties
are only one part of the benefits of Turmeric. Sometimes it sounds too
good to be true. Nature has endowed turmeric with so many wonderful therapeutic
and healing properties. Turmeric is proven to defend against brain degenerative
diseases like alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Turmeric is a powerful anti
inflammatory agent and immunity booster. It can effectively act against
airborne and food allergy. Everyone who intakes Turmeric extract feels
enhanced stamina and energy levels within a few days.
Turmeric is the nature's most powerful Non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug popularly termed as the Yellow Wonder. Chronic inflammation has been linked to allergies, arthritis, asthma, atheroschlerosis, coronary heart disease, diabetes, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, osteoporosis, psoriasis, stroke, and arthritis. It is thought now that inflammation plays central role in almost every degenerative process associated with aging, from inflamed gums that may provoke cardiovascular disease, to Alzheimer's Disease. The initiation and progression of all types of cancer start with inflammation in the cellular level. The inflammatory response is responsible for loss of bone mass and joint cartilage accompanying aging. The Need for a Safe Anti-inflammatory Control of inflammation is a logical way of arresting the progression of the degenerative process of aging. NSAIDs such as aspirin is taken daily as a preventative for atheroschlerosis. NSAIDs are widely used for chronic arthritis. In mice bred to develop premature Alzheimer's Disease NSAIDs have been shown by suppressing the development of amyloid plaques from inflammation to reduce their risk of developing Alzheimer's by over 80%! . But there is a price to huge price to pay. NSAID?s users face an extremely high risk of stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal tract bleeding, thrombotic events, kidney and liver damage. This can happen even with a short term course of NSAIDs. The active ingredient in turmeric the Curcumin may provide
a safer alternative to NSAIDs. Turmeric (curcuma longa), a member of the
ginger family, contains curcumin, a potent natural anti inflammatory agent.
Unlike other NSAIDs which are damaging to the Gastro Intestinal tract and
cardiovascular system, curcumin may even be protective to both. Curcumin
has been used safely for thousands of years as part of Indian traditional
medicine. It is non-toxic and free of side effects.
