This was an interesting read its a long one again with a few sub articles and vids i love learning about original medicines as i wont call them alternative as really the pills you buy and get from the doctors or pharmacy are the real alternatives.As these remedies have been around for years.
500 Reasons Turmeric May Be The World's Most Important Herb.
There is a medicinal spice so timelessly interwoven with the origins of human culture and metabolism, so thoroughly supported by modern scientific inquiry, as to be unparalleled in its proven value to human health and well-being.
Indeed, turmeric turns the entire drug-based medical model on its head. Instead of causing more side effects than therapeutic ones – which you can read any drug insert to see is a universally true phenomenon and which ensures the infinite expansion of the pharmaceutical market and all the associated medical services – it has several hundred potential side benefits.
While no food or herb is right for everyone, and everything has the potential for unintended, adverse side effects, turmeric is truly unique in its exceptionally high margin of safety vis-à-vis the drugs it has been compared with, e.g. hydrocortisone, ibuprofen, chemotherapy agents. Furthermore, nothing within the modern-day pharmaceutical armamentarium comes even remotely close to turmeric’s 6,000 year track record of safe use in Ayurvedic medicine.[1]
Despite its vast potential for alleviating human suffering, turmeric will never receive the FDA stamp of approval, due to its lack of exclusivity, patentability and therefore profitability. Truth be told, the FDA’s "gold standard" for proving the value of a prospective medicinal substance betrays the age old aphorism: "he who owns the gold makes the rules," and unless an investor is willing to risk losing the 800+ million dollars that must be spent upfront, the FDA-required multi-phased double-blind, randomized clinical trials will not occur. For additional details on this rather seedy arrangement read our article on the topic: Why The Law Forbids The Medicinal Use of Natural Substances.
Here at GreenMedInfo.com, we have reviewed over 4,000 study abstracts from the National Library of Medicine’s bibliographic database known as MEDLINE and have discovered over 580 potential health benefits of turmeric, and/or its primary polyphenol known as curcumin. These can be viewed on our turmeric research page which is dedicated to disseminating the research on the topic to a larger audience.
Some of the most amazing demonstrated properties include:
Destroying Multi-Drug Resistant Cancer
Destroying Cancer Stem Cells (arguably, the root of all cancer)
Protecting Against Radiation-Induced Damage
Reducing Unhealthy Levels of Inflammation
Protecting Against Heavy Metal Toxicity
Preventing and Reversing Alzheimer’s Disease Associated Pathologies
Again, what is so amazing is not that turmeric may have value in six conditions simultaneously, or that it may improve conditions that are completely resistant to conventional treatment, but that there are over five-hundred and eighty additional health conditions it may also be valuable in preventing and/or treating. Consider also the fact that turmeric grows freely on the Earth, and you will understand why its very existence threatens a trillion-dollar plus conventional medical establishment.

VIDEO > Turmeric Curcumin Reprogramming Cancer Cell Death ( http://youtu.be/7KQE9bAYig4)
DESCRIPTION: The spice turmeric appears to be able to switch back on the self-destruct mechanism within cancer cells.
This is the last of a three part video series on turmeric and cancer. If you missed the first two, check out: Back to Our Roots: Curry (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/back-...) and Carcinogen Blocking Effects of Turmeric Curcumin (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/carci...).
Other herbs and spices such as garlic (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/1-ant...) and amla (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/some-...) have similar selective effects against cancer cell.
I talk more about this concept of "apoptosis," programmed cell death in:
• Clonal Deletion Theory of Immunity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/clona...)
• Ex Vivo Cancer Proliferation Bioassay (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/devel...)
• Is It the Diet, the Exercise, or Both? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-it...)
• The Answer to the Pritikin Puzzle (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-a...)
What else can turmeric do? Here's the videos I have so far (with more on the way!):
• Who Shouldn't Consume Curcumin or Turmeric? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-s...)
• Turmeric Curcumin and Rheumatoid Arthritis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turme...)
• Boosting the Bioavailability of Curcumin (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/boost...)
• Spicing Up DNA Protection (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/spici...)
• Which Spices Fight Inflammation? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/which...)
• Turmeric Curcumin and Osteoarthritis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turme...)
Stay tuned for another 3-part cancer series coming up in a week or two:
1. Phytates for the Prevention of Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phyta...)
2. Phytates for Rehabilitating Cancer Cells (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phyta...)
3. Phytates for the Treatment of Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phyta...)

VIDEO > Carcinogen Blocking Effects of Turmeric Curcumin ( http://youtu.be/nE7T5FZUgu4)
DESCRIPTION: Less than a teaspoon a day of turmeric appears to significantly lower the DNA mutating ability of cancer-causing substances.
This is second of a three-part video series on turmeric curcumin and its relationship to cancer. To find out more, check out the prequel Back to Our Roots: Curry and Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/back-...) and the last video in the series Turmeric Curcumin Reprogramming Cancer Cell Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turme...).
Smokers are common research subjects for carcinogen studies. For example, see what happens to carcinogen levels when those eating processed meat start eating vegetarian in my video Heterocyclic Amines in Eggs, Cheese, and Creatine? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heter...).
Other foods that may protect DNA include kiwifruit (Kiwifruit and DNA Repair, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/kiwif...), cruciferous vegetables (DNA Protection from Broccoli, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dna-p...), leafy vegetables (Eating Green to Prevent Cancer, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eatin...), garlic (Cancer, Interrupted: Garlic & Flavonoids, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cance...), green tea (Cancer, Interrupted: Green Tea, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cance... (but which is better? Antimutagenic Activity of Green Versus White Tea, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/antim...)), and plants in general (Repairing DNA Damage, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/repai...).
More information on cancer prevention, treatment, and reversal can be found in my two latest annual presentations Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uproo...) and More Than an Apple a Day: Combating Common Diseases (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/more-...).
