Part 6: Turmeric, just do it

Arguably one of my most important supplements, is curcumin. Curcumin is the chemical compound made of the spice turmeric, and arguably the greatest anti inflammatory you can find today. Read it.  Its health benefits are near endless. The anti inflammation properties are better than any. It's natural and has a multi-benefit approach to many illnesses. For me it's cancer, anti inflammatory, and immune boosting. Turmeric can also be helpful in healing the gut, as well as detoxifying. 

So what if I don't have cancer?

Do you have:

arthritis, heartburn (dyspepsia), joint pain, stomach pain, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, bypass surgery, hemorrhage, diarrhea, intestinal gas, stomach bloating, loss of appetite, jaundice, liver problems, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gallbladder disorders, high cholesterol, a skin condition called lichen planus, skin inflammation from radiation treatment, and fatigue.

It is also used for headaches, bronchitis, colds, lung infections, fibromyalgia, leprosy, fever, menstrual problems, itchy skin, recovery after surgery, and cancers. Other uses include depression, Alzheimer's disease, swelling in the middle layer of the eye (anterior uveitis), diabetes, water retention, worms, an autoimmune disease called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), tuberculosis, urinary bladder inflammation, and kidney problems.

Some people apply turmeric to the skin for pain, ringworm, sprains and swellings, bruising, leech bites, eye infections, acne, inflammatory skin conditions and skin sores, soreness inside of the mouth, infected wounds, and gum disease.

Turmeric is also used as an enema for people with inflammatory bowel disease.

I mean.... It's the one stop shop.

I started off by taking it prescribed by my integrative health oncologist in Colorado. This is why:
Reduces invasiveness and angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) in melanoma. Targeting angiogenesis is highly important with metastatic malignant melanoma. Overall, curcumin is a great cancer fighter. Profoundly decreases inflammation, inhibits NfKB, supports immunity, and stimulates apoptosis of cancer cells. It helps with my fluid retention in my lymphatic system.

I take a large amount of supplement form, sometimes liquid, and put it in my food. It is not my one and only, but my biggest aid. I was taking over 900 milligrams of gabepentin for my nerve pain without any help. I have stopped taking it and supplemented with many anti-inflammatory natural medicines. The pain is not completely gone, but I am managing it much better as my body has been able to heal.

Just think about it. Read about it. Ask questions. It can help. It can't hurt. Listen to this doctor share.

History of Turmeric:

Turmeric, whose botanical name is Curcuma longa, is a plant of the ginger family that was first cultivated in India and Indonesia. Going back, turmeric has been an important part of Indian cooking, medicine, and religious practice. To this day, it is commonly used in Indian and Pakistani cuisine, and curries around the globe.

Though we often think of turmeric as the spice that gives curry its characteristic golden color, this plant has an equally long history of medicinal use. Historically, turmeric has been used to treat pain, as well as stomach and liver ailments. Topically, turmeric was used to help with treating many skin conditions, including healing sores, eczema and skin rashes.

To this day, turmeric is viewed as a sacred substance in much of Indian culture and is an important part of Ayurvedic medicine – an ancient Indian system of natural healing that is still practiced today.
