600 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 far more side effects than therapeutic ones, as is the case for most patented pharmaceutical medications, turmeric possesses hundreds of potential side benefits, having been empirically demonstrated to positively modulate over 160 different physiological pathways in the mammalian body.

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 likely 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 5,000 study abstracts from the National Library of Medicine's bibliographic database known as MEDLINE and have discovered over 600 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 dozens of health conditions simultaneously, or that it may improve conditions that are completely resistant to conventional treatment, but that there are over six hundred 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 billions of dollars in pharmaceutical industry revenue.

Turmeric Is Better Than Ibuprofen! Use Turmeric Before Ever Swallowing Ibuprofen Again!

Americans swallow painkillers like candies. Advil and Motrin are the most ‘popular,’ and unfortunately they are often overused, usually due to their lack of efficacy. Dealing with pain can be quite a ‘tough business,’ and people would use anything that pops up in their mind.

Pain can be really frustrating, regardless of where it strikes you. It could be your head, joints, back or muscles. In addition to their toxic content, painkillers seem to have no effect. You start off with the prescribed dose, and when the effect is gone, all that is left to do is increase the dose every day. Eventually, even the whole package does not help.

The problem has extended to the point where even the FDA issues warnings about the potential risk painkillers bring, including the risk of stroke and heart attack.

The same applies to Toradol, Aleve, Naprosyn, and Celebrex. Each of these is linked with a group of severe side effects, and according to statistics, these cause over 16,000 deaths every year. Unfortunately, another 100,000 end up in emergency rooms throughout the US. FDA warns that you should not exceed the recommended dose of non-steroidal and anti-inflammatory drugs. There is a strict rule that you should never combine two NSAIDs that contain the same active ingredient.

Manufacturers are required to change the labels of NSAIDs and more information regarding the potential risk of heart attack and stroke. Excessive use of these drugs may cause bleeding and digestive ulcers. Other side effects include atrial fibrillation, a condition that describes a weakened heart and rapid beats, injuries of soft tissues, kidney damage, and prolonged healing of fractures.

The strict warnings and requirements came after it was confirmed that even the prescribed dose can cause some serious side effects.

But, some of us did not sit with their hands crossed and examined the essence of this problem. It turns out that painkillers are not the only way to relieve pain. In fact, there are much better and safer ways to get an instant relief, and the best thing is that they are all-natural. No more harsh chemicals and toxins. Check your pantry, because you can find your natural painkiller right there!

Turmeric is a confirmed pain reliever, and it comes with almost no side effects. Polyphenols in turmeric provide a huge number of benefits.

The Alternative and Complementary Medicine Journal published a study according to which turmeric is a much safer alternative to ibuprofen, plus it is even more effective when it comes to relieving osteoarthritis. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory potential and the ability to alter immune responses, turmeric has brought relieve to so many individuals. It is natural, effective, safe, cheap and easily available. What more could you ask for?

Turmeric can be used in the treatment of various ailments. Use it to cure gallbladder disorders, stomach ache, diarrhea, heartburn, gas, liver malfunction, or arthritis. Curcumin gives turmeric its potential to fight inflammation. Experts suggest that you use turmeiric extract, although the root is super efficient as well.

Next time you reach for your bottle of painkillers, pull back and use turmeric instead. Your pain will disappear almost instantly, and you will be safe from any side effects.

Eat Half A Teaspoon Of Turmeric And These 10 Things Will Happen To Your Body

Turmeric is a spice used commonly in Indian foods like curry. The spice has significant benefits for the body. Below are 10 ways the body will benefit from your use of Turmeric in foods you eat regularly.

Inflammation will Decrease

Short-term inflammation is helpful to prevent and fight disease. However, long-term inflammation actually has been linked to diseases that cause long-lasting damage and eventually lead to death. Therefore, having additional help in decreasing inflammation means your body can retain overall health. Since the Curcumin in Turmeric blocks NF-KB, it works to fight inflammation.

Antioxidants begin Working More Efficiently

Curcumin also acts as an antioxidant, which neutralizes free radicals. Free radicals react with fatty acids or DNA, with negative effects on the body. Therefore, minimizing the effects of free radicals is a great benefit for the body.

It also helps the body’s own antioxidant enzymes to work more efficiently and have more effect on the body. This has numerous benefits.

Improved Brain Function

The hormone BDNF, or Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, is vital to the division and multiplication of neurons in the brain. This in turn means decreased brain function in adulthood. However, with Turmeric in your diet, this hormone is increased. This helps the brain function, improves memory and increases intelligence.

Decreases Risk of Brain Disease

In correlation with the increase of the BDNF hormone in your brain, the risk of brain diseases are decreased. This is due to the improved functioning of the brain and may even reverse the effects already present in the brain.

Delays Aging, Fights Chronic Diseases associated with Age

Most aging and diseases associated with that process can be traced back to inflammation. Therefore, the anti-inflammatory qualities of this herb can mean the difference for various diseases that tend to hit a person as they age.

Lowers Risk of Heart Disease

The lining of the blood vessels decreases function and heart disease is a significant risk due to issues with regulating blood pressure. However, Turmeric in the diet means improved function for this lining (called endothelium).

Prevents and Treats Alzheimer’s Disease

This goes back to the effect on inflammation. Since inflammation is a big factor in the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease, Turmeric in the diet can delay the onset or even treat the disease by clearing Amyloid plaques that occur in the body.

Helps with Arthritis Pain

Inflammation of the joints is a common arthritis issue. With Turmeric acting as an anti-inflammatory, it makes sense that it would also address this issue and help with the pain and decreased function caused by arthritis.

Helps Prevent Cancer

On the molecular level, the growth and spread of cancer has been stopped by Turmeric. Cancers of the digestive system in particular seem to be preventable with the addition of Turmeric to the diet.

Treats Depression, Improves Mood

Studies have shown Curcumin to have a similar effect to Prozac, a commonly prescribed anti-depressant. Therefore, the use of Turmeric in your diet can be beneficial to your mental health and mood.

Turmeric More Effective Than Prozac At Treating Depression

Turmeric more Effective than Prozac at Treating Depression

It’s common knowledge in the natural health world that pharmaceuticals often (if not always) do more harm than good. It’s also clear that foods, herbs, and other natural sources can offer similar benefits without those nasty side effects. Once again, our beliefs have been affirmed by science: A recent study published in Phytotherapy Research says that not only is turmeric effective at treating depression, it may even be more effective than some of the most common anti-depressant drugs currently on the market.

While previous studies have indicated the effectiveness of turmeric (curcumin) in treating serious depression, this study was the first randomized controlled clinical trial of its kind.

Researchers with the Department of Pharmacology of Government Medical College in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India compared the effects of turmeric and Prozac (fluoxetine), both used together and individually, in 60 patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD).

According to GreenMedInfo.com, the researchers used the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale to measure their results:

“We observed that curcumin was well tolerated by all the patients. The proportion of responders as measured by the HAM-D₁₇ scale was higher in the combination group (77.8%) than in the fluoxetine [Prozac] (64.7%) and the curcumin (62.5%) groups; however, these data were not statistically significant (P = 0.58). Interestingly, the mean change in HAM-D₁₇ score at the end of six weeks was comparable in all three groups (P = 0.77). This study provides first clinical evidence that curcumin may be used as an effective and safe modality for treatment in patients with MDD without concurrent suicidal ideation or other psychotic disorders.”

While reading the researchers conclusions indicates one treatment (turmeric) is equally effective as Prozac, it doesn’t account for the negative effects of Prozac, which boost turmeric’s value considerably. Prozac is known to cause “suicidal ideation or other psychotic disorders,” frightening side effects that are clearly absent in turmeric use.

In addition to fighting depression, the bright yellow root commonly used in Indian cooking known as turmeric has been found to have numerous health benefits. In addition to this enlightening research on its efficacy in depression treatment, we know it also has value in the treatment of inflammatory conditions, diabetes, and even cancer. If that isn’t enough, it’s also been shown effective in aiding in weight loss and cutting heart disease risk. Plus, it tastes amazing.
Anti-depressant medications are some of the biggest of Big Pharma’s many big money-makers. Equipped with knowledge like the findings of this most recent study, consumers have the potential to undermine their goal of drugging America and the world.

Use Turmeric Before Ever Swallowing Another Ibuprofen Again

I used to pop ibuprofen like it was my job.

I used to suffer from chronic headaches. At 26, my already frequent headaches became so serious that they practically turned into one major headache. For 4 and a half years, I had a headache every minute of my life (I am not joking).

I used to take ibuprofen for it several times a day, often exceeding the maximum recommended amount. It didn’t even ease the pain, yet every time, I was hoping for a miracle.

Turns out that ibuprofen is actually damaging to your health and that there are much better NATURAL alternatives for pain and inflammation.

The Lancet review has found ibuprofen to be as toxic to the heart as Vioxx, a banned anti-inflammatory drug that caused thousands of deaths from cardiovascular diseases.

I haven’t taken ibuprofen or any other similar OTC drug for 3 years. I am living my life pain-free and naturally. I want to invite you to do the same.

Turmeric is one of my secret weapons against visible and silent inflammation.

I was never told that ibuprofen or other OTC pain-killers could be harmful to my health. As a college runner, most of my teammates popped ibuprofen like candy for all injuries and minor pains. My boyfriend took it for his back pain. Every website and doctor suggested it. I thought it was the right thing to do. I thought it was my fault that it wasn’t even helping.

Turmeric has been known as a natural pain reliever for centuries. The spice has proven to be more superior without serious side effects. In fact, the polyphenol in turmeric has been shown to have over 600 health benefits.

According to a clinical trial published in the Alternative and Complementary Medicine journal, turmeric is an effective alternative to ibuprofen for osteoarthritis.

The study on was conducted with 109 patients with knee osteoarthritis. In a randomized selection, some were given 800 mg of ibuprofen, while others received 2000 mg of turmeric a day for six weeks. Their pain level while walking, stair climbing and performing other basic functions were measured.

After 6 weeks, improvements were measured in both groups and the turmeric group showed slightly better performance. The turmeric group also described having a higher level of satisfaction than the ibuprofen group.

Turmeric is not only effective, safe and natural, but it’s also accessible to all, affordable and time-tested.

Looking at these amazing results and understanding how simple, cheap, safe and yet incredibly effective turmeric can be, you can only get excited about this.

The next time you have a headache or are experiencing pain, just go open your kitchen cabinet and reach for that turmeric as your new choice of medicine. Do you know any other awesome natural pain-relieving remedies? Feel free to share with us in the comments below!

Turmeric Beats Ibuprofen For Arthritis Of The Knee

The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine published a new clinical trial according to which there is an effective natural alternative to ibuprofen, known as an exceedingly popular pharmaceutical painkiller, when it comes to treating knee osteoarthritis (OA).

This familiar kitchen spice has shown to be a lot more superior in safety to any drug in the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs. The same applies to the number of side-effects conventional drugs have.

Turmeric versus Ibuprofen

The clinical trial published in the aforementioned journal involved 109 patients with knee arthritis who were randomly divided into two groups. The first group received 800mg of ubuprofen, and the other group of participants was given 2,000mg of turmeric.

Patients received divided doses daily for six weeks. Patients did level walking and went up a flight of stairs. Researchers evaluated the pain patients experienced and the time they spent in doing both activities.

Turmeric is much safer than Ibuprofen

According to WebMD, ibuprofen has many adverse affects, including severe complications like stroke and heart attack. Stomach ache, rash, dizziness, heartburn and nausea were listed as the most common effects.

Moreover, the publication listed 14 infrequent adverse effects and 84 rare side-effects. Many of these are quite serious, involving kidney failure and fatal bleeding from abdominal area.

WebMD reported that turmeric, on the other hand, is safe for most individuals. Of course, only when taken in doses lower than 3,000mg/day. In normal conditions turmeric causes no adverse effects, but some patients may experience stomach upset, dizziness and diarrhea.

Experts do not recommend it to patients with gall bladder disease, gastrointestinal reflux disease or individuals who are on a surgery schedule within two weeks.
