I consider curcumin one of the superstars of natural medicine, and one of my top go-to supplements for daily use. It's superbly anti-inflammatory, is terrific for our overtaxed livers, and is a wonderful antioxidant. Some research suggests it may have anti-cancer properties-- it's been found to reduce development of several types of cancer in animals, and it can kill cancer cells in laboratory dishes.--

Curcumin: The ULTIMATE HELPER
Being a born "helper", if I could be any plant compound, I would be curcumin! Curcumin is the ultimate of "helpers" in my book when it comes to plant medicines having spectacular anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-cancer properties. I recommend it every day that I am in my practice for anything from pain relief and healing to prevention and protection.

There's a good reason why one billion Indians use turmeric/curcumin as their main spice. Over 1000 studies have shown the dramatic benefits that this remarkable life saving and health promoting herb offers. These have been remarkably expanded and made more available by technology that adds back in the herbs natural oils, increasing its absorption by almost sevenfold.
These health benefits include (but are not at all limited to):
Pain relief. With the modern diet triggering high levels of inflammation and pain, curcumin is like the cavalry– coming in just in the nick of time. Especially when combined with one of my other favorite anti-inflammatory herbs, Boswellia, curcumin is more effective than standard arthritis medications. The good news? Instead of causing side effects, such as the approximately 30,000 unnecessary US deaths a year from bleeding ulcers and increased heart attacks and strokes coming from arthritis medications, it causes "side benefits". These include:
Lowering the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Animal model studies are showing a virtual "melting" of the amyloid plaques the clog the brains of people with Alzheimer's. Interestingly, people in India with a high curcumin intake have a 70% lower risk of Alzheimer's than people living in the United States. Treating with curcumin, plus what we' call the "DEMENTIA Protocol" – which tunes up brain function, dementia and Alzheimer's can often be reversed. Research looking at curcumin in people of Alzheimer's is currently underway
Cancer prevention and treatment. Numerous studies show that curcumin has a strong effect on both decreasing cancer risk and in helping to shrink cancers once they have begun. In the past, much of this research focused on colon cancer because the curcumin was poorly absorbed from the gut, but as it stayed in the gut, it still helped the colon cancers. Now that curcumin can be highly absorbed, its use is being explored for numerous types of cancers. Personally, I think is a good idea for anybody with cancer to take one or 2 softgel capsules of a highly absorbed curcumin product each day.
I consider curcumin research to be some of the most important medical research of this decade! I think the one billion Indians have the right idea . . .
