Curcumin-Cancer Healing Spice -Roger Mason
Curcumin is an herb with lots of science behind it for treating various conditions ranging from arthritis to cancer. This is an exogenous herb not found in our food or in our bodies (read What Does Exogenous Mean?), so it is only used temporarily for about six months. It will have no benefit after that. Some people will not get any benefits from such exogenous supplements.
Curcumin has value for such conditions as arthritis and high cholesterol, but did you know it shows promise in curing some cancers! While heart disease is by far the leading cause of death in the developed countries, cancer is the second leading cause- especially breast and prostate. Curcumin shows great promise in the treatment of prostate and breast cancer. The researchers at Columbia University said, "Curcumin could be a potentially therapeutic anti-cancer agent, as it significantly inhibits prostate cancer growth..." Researchers at Wayne State University found curcumin to inhibit colon cancer cells. At Tufts University curcumin and soy isoflavones were found to inhibit growth of breast cancer cells. The list goes on to include mouth cancer, lung cancer and other types as well.
Other researchers gave this to humans with eye diseases such as cataracts and uveitis (inflammation) with good success. Other studies were done on muscle regeneration with injuries to the muscle tissue with good response. Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant and very antibacterial in nature. It also has strong anti-viral properties and may help AIDS patients live longer (AIDS cannot be cured or a vaccine made for it since this is a product of military biochemical warfare labs. AIDS is purely a manmade virus with no counterpart in nature). It may be helpful in Epstein-Barr virus (EPV) which is particularly hard to treat. Curcumin has shown protective effects against radiation damage which would apply to nuclear war or people blind enough to get radiation treatments for cancer.
Curcumin has been used for well over 1,000 years, and has been a part of Ayurvedic medicine from the beginning. Be sure to read the label to make sure each capsule has at least 400-500 mg of actual curcumin. Pay less than $10 for 60 capsules.
Anyone with arthritis, rheumatism, or other inflammatory conditions should try curcumin for six months. In my Lower Cholesterol Without Drugs curcumin is recommended temporarily for lowering cholesterol and improving blood parameters generally.
This is powerful, proven, effective, inexpensive, and has a tradition going back probably 2000 years or more. Try curcumin for six months if you have a condition to treat.
