Oh, the irony. What is reported here is startling. We also learn that it makes excellent sense to combine the dry powder with coconut oil. I would also add matching ginger and pepper. This produces maximal absorption.
I will be experimenting with this as i would love to have a paste that is also pleasant to the tongue.
Better yet a spread that can be put on toast. Perhaps add some butter. Actually coconut oil may serve to thin out the hardness of refrigerated butter..
Did you know that turmeric is just as effective as 14 pharmaceutical drugs?

There is no shortage of peer-reviewed biomedical studies proving that
turmeric is a valuable medicine. Turmeric’s secret is found in its high
concentration of curcumin, a powerful antioxidant that protects human
genes. Over 5,600 studies confirm turmeric’s medical prowess, for use in over 600 different therapeutic applications.
Turmeric should be produced and prescribed as medicine
In several states, medical marijuana dispensaries are showing up, as
doctors learn to prescribe plants that heal instead of drugs that cause
more health problems. Now medical cannabis growers and dispensaries
should make way for another healing plant, one that can liberate
patients from inflammatory conditions, certain cancers, Type-II
diabetes, atherosclerosis, and other health problems associated with
oxidative stress. Like cannabis, turmeric should also be grown and
produced exclusively as medicine.
One of the problems with the many cheap, over-the-counter turmeric
supplements is their high concentration of heavy metals. Many
china-sourced turmeric supplements are loaded with brain-damaging lead.
Clean, medicinal turmeric should be organic, grown in healthy,
mineral-rich soil, not irradiated, and also tested for purity by an
accredited lab.
Because curcumin is fat soluble, a healthy oil is needed to enhance its bio-availability.
Without a healthy fat/oil, curcumin may pass right through the body and
not be absorbed into the small intestine and into the bloodstream,
where it is most effective. Coconut oil, olive oil, and avocado are
great to consume along with turmeric. Curcumin absorption is also
boosted by piperine, the principle component found in black pepper.
Here is a short list of medications that turmeric can replace:
Lipitor/Atorvastatin (cholesterol medication):
Statins, the most commonly prescribed class of drugs, could be replaced,
in large part, with standardized preparations of curcuminoids from
turmeric root. In a 2008 study published in Drugs in R&D,
turmeric performed just as well as atorvastatin (Lipitor) for
correcting the underlying pathology that causes oxidative stress in the
blood vessels – endothelial dysfunction. Not to mention, turmeric does
not incite horrific side effects like statins do, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, muscle wasting, and cognitive impairment.
Corticosteroids (steroid medications): Even when acute pain is present, turmeric can provide noticeable pain relief. A 1999 study published in Phytotherapy Research
found that turmeric is just as effective as steroids for treating
inflammatory eye disease called chronic anterior uveitis. A 2008 study
published in Critical Care Medicine found that turmeric
down-regulates inflammatory genes and can replace the drug dexamethasone
for the treatment of lung transplantation-associated injury.
Metformin (diabetes drug): Genes are not the final
word in determining health problems. In 2009, researchers found that
curcumin activates AMPK, allowing for increased glucose uptake. Curcumin
also suppresses gluconeogenic gene expression in hepatoma cells,
allowing for glucose production in the liver. When curcumin was isolated
into tetrahydrocurcuminoids (THC), it activated AMPK and acetyl-CoA
carboxylase within the body 500 to 100,000 times more efficiently than
common diabetes drug metformin.
Oxaliplatin (Chemotherapy drugs): A 2007 study published in the International Journal of Cancer
found that curcumin is just as effective as oxaliplatin, a chemotherapy
agent that inhibits proliferation in colorectal cell lines. In a 2004
study published in the journal Oncogene, a combination of
curcumin and resveratrol was just as effective as anti-inflammatory
drugs for the mitigation of tumor cells. A 2007 study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham details the mechanism by which curcumin has anticancer, chemosensitization, and radiosensitization effects. Curcumin down-regulates the MDM2 oncogene through the PI3K/mTOR/ETS2 pathway in human prostate cancer cell lines.
Prozac/Fluoxetine (antidepressants): A study published in a 2011 issue of Acta Poloniae Pharmaceutica showed how curcumin can reduce depressive behavior in animals. A 2015 study
found even more promising results in humans with major depressive
disorders. A curcumin and piperine combination significantly reduced
depression symptoms in the human patients and had the greatest effect on
middle-aged patients for longer duration of administration and at
higher doses.
Reversing liver disease: Curcumin possesses such
great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects; it can reverse liver
disease caused by excessive alcohol consumption. In one animal model,
a formulation of curcumin-galactomannosides reversed all the
pathological effects of alcohol consumption, including elevated liver
toxicity markers, lipid peroxidation and inflammatory markers with a
simultaneous reduction in antioxidant defenses.
Curcumin heals where chemotherapy fails: A 2010 study published in TNO Nutrition and Food Research
finds that curcumin has value in treating cancer cell lines that do not
respond to chemotherapy. Two multi-drug resistant proteins, MRP1 and
MRP2, were both inhibited by curcumin and its glutathione-dependent
metabolism. In conjunction, a study from the University of Belgrade,
in the Republic of Serbia showed that high doses of curcumin shut down
multi-drug resistant non-small cell lung carcinoma cell lines. A
synergistic cytotoxic effect was observed when curcumin was combined
with Sulfinosine.
Medicine is at the dawn of a new era. Plant-based medicines such as
cannabis have opened the door and provided an outlet for more
plant-based antioxidants and polyphenols to enter the medical field.
Turmeric is at the forefront of revolutionizing modern medicine. With
hundreds of peer reviewed biomedical studies proving its efficacy in
various medical applications, turmeric should finally be embraced by
failing Western medicine practices.
