    Turmeric really is incredible. We slip it into almost all of our daughter’s dishes, and she loves it so much! Combining it with black pepper helps absorption of curcumin, I believe.

    Curcumin's anti-cancer properties are widespread and include breast, prostate, myeloma, colorectal, pancreatic, head and neck and others. Curcumin has been shown to have anti cancer properties in addition to increasing the efficacy of chemo while reducing it's toxicity. I have been supplementing with curcumin daily (800 mgs) for about 5 years now and I have stayed in remission from multiple myeloma-

    1. hi did you have tumeric when you had cancer i've got my mum having tumeric tablets as she has lung cancer she'ss just had her last chemo

  3. Who ever heard of an enzyme in the mouth being "responsible for promoting cancer spread and growth?"

    Does this refer to the all-natural salivary amylase that we are all endowed with? I would imagine that a lack of amylase, not an abundance of it, would see more of a correlation with cancer spread. Can you supply a link to a study referencing this supposed causality?

    1. No one is blaming amylase. Saliva is full of MANY enzymes, peptides, and proteins including hormones. Some of these autocrine or paracrine hormones may up- or downregulate cell proliferation. The mucosa such as the mouth are rapidly replaced of neccesity and constantly exposed to the environment therefore more *likely* to become cancerous anyway.

      1. Contact inhibition of normal cells is one of the mechanisms which keeps them where they belong. Cancerous cells invade normal tissue with the aid of enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases. Curcumin has been found to inhibit the activity of several matrix metalloproteinases in cell culture studies. To fuel their rapid growth, invasive tumors must also develop new blood vessels by a process known as angiogenesis. Curcumin has been found to inhibit angiogenesis in cultured vascular endothelial cells and in an animal model. Since the digestive tract can be exposed to curcumin unlike other body compartments, it may benefit the most from turmeric.

  4. Curcumin gooood to radically reduce inflamation & pain in knees from arthritis.

      are we talking about tumeric in capsule form?

  5. I need some advice please…..I take 1 tsp of tumeric powder a day (the normal tumeric powder that you buy from supermarket)…can someone please advice if this is enough? Am I taking the necessary amount of curcumin?

    1. Fran,, be smart and buy organic (certified) at a health food store. It's dirt cheap and continue what you're doing………..

  6. No one gave a good idea of how much per day and whether the culinary version of turmeric is right or if it has to be some kind of laboratory grade.
