Spectacular Ability of Turmeric in Preventing Cancer
Spectacular Ability of Turmeric inPreventing Cancer - One of my preventive steps is to take turmeric every
day. Those of us who have gone through cancer trips, or have experience with
cancer, will find turmeric as a cancer prevention method. There is a lot of
information on the internet about turmeric and its benefits, but I want to
share my experience with it. I will give a brief introduction to tumerics.
Turmeric
contains curcumin, an active ingredient that has been linked to prevent and
destroy cancer cells. Curcumin is a rather sticky yellow object when you slice
turmeric. The healing properties of turmeric have been known for a long time
now, especially for Chinese and Indians.
In India for at
least 6000 years, turmeric has been used as a medicine, for beauty, cooking,
spices, and coloring. For Chinese people, tumerics have been used to treat
diseases of the spleen, stomach and liver for more than 1,000 years.
The Chinese have
used it to stimulate and purify, and as antibiotics, anti-viruses, and
analgesics. Tumeric, also known as Saffron India, is the root of the ginger
family and grows mainly in South Asia.
Tumeric is
commercially available in powder form. This is produced by boiling the roots
and then dried in an oven. Dry turmeric is then ground into a bright
orange-yellow powder. These are sold as seasonings and food additives.
People can use
raw roots, which is my preference, or buy powdered form from the store if you
only use it for cooking. However, if you consume it as a supplement, then I
recommend doing research and buying it from a leading supplement manufacturer.
Making herbal
supplements is not as regulated as a drug so the amount of curcumin may not be
verified and it will affect its efficacy.
Turmeric has
anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Sometimes I have eczema on my
skin and I use a powder form, make it into a paste and apply it to eczema. In
some applications, eczema disappears.
This should be
the anti-bacterial properties of turmeric in the workplace When applied, it is
slightly stinging, and maybe active ingredients work. Tumerics have also been
proven to help psoriasis. Research has proven that turmeric is effective
against inflammatory reactions triggered by bacteria, Heliobacter pylori.
Many studies and
articles have been written not only on cancer prevention properties, but also
cancer killer properties of curcumin.
Research on curcumin shows promising
results.
• Curcumin can
kill cancer cells in laboratory dishes and also reduce the growth of living
cells.
• Curcumin has
also been found to reduce the development of some forms of cancer in laboratory
animals, and shrink animal tumors.
• When combined
with cauliflower, it has been proven to prevent prostate cancer and stop the
growth of existing prostate cancer
• Curcumin is
used in experimental mice and has been shown to prevent breast cancer from
spreading to the lungs of mice.
• And has been
shown to stop the growth of new blood vessels in the tumor. This supports the
theory of anti-angiogenesis. The idea of anti-angiogenesis is starvation of
nutrients to cancer cells which will cause cancer cell apoptosis.
Turmeric is a
natural herb, and because it is known to treat and prevent cancer, there is no
reason not to try and use it regularly.
