Greetings,
Today's topic is about one of my favorite
herbs - curcumin. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a
plant native to south India and Indonesia. Its tuberous
rhizomes have been used from antiquity as a condiment,
as a textile dye, and medically as an aromatic stimulant.
Curcumin is the substance that gives the spice turmeric
its yellow color. Curry powder which is extensively
used in Indian cuisine, is largely made of turmeric.
Curcumin contains many powerful antioxidants and
anti-inflammatory compounds. ===========================================

Curcumin
is an herb with multifaceted effects. They include
the following:
1. Block estrogen mimicking chemicals
that induce the "out of control" cell growth. Essentially,
it blocks the pathway used by estrogen and similar
substances that promote cell growth. Examples would
include fibroids and cysts.
2. Strong antioxidant. It protects
our body against free radical damage as well as
a DNA protector. A recent study showed curcumin
protected bacteria from a lethal dose of radiation
at nearly 100% effectiveness.
3. Induces apoptosis. This is a process
that identifies abnormal, dangerous cells and "instructs"
them to destroy themselves.

Quick tip: One of the most effective substances
for prostate health is Cernitin. It is a standardized
flower pollen often used with Nettle root to help
suppress the effects of estrogen and sex hormone
binders. Used as prevention and treatment.

4. Inhibits angiogenesis by blocking the so-called
AP-1, an enzyme needed for this process.
5. Removes excess copper and iron
from the blood stream and finally,
6. Acts as a powerful digestive aid.
Curcumin is available at most health stores and
is usually found in liquid or capsules. As with
most substances, the former is preferred.
To your health,
