Turmeric is a very powerful antioxidant. It is 300 times more effective than Vitamin E as an antioxidant. This is documented and measured on the basis of the amount of free radicals mopped up by the compound Curcumin in turmeric.

Curcumin, the substance that gives the spice turmeric its yellow color has compounds that have potential health benefits. In lab tests the active ingredient in turmeric, called curcumin, was found to enhance the cancer fighting power of treatment with TRAIL, a naturally occurring molecule that helps kill cancer cells. TRAIL stands for tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand. In an experiment with human breast cancer cells in a laboratory, the combination treatment with curcumin killed off two to three times more cancer cells than either treatment alone.

Cancer is not formed in a day. Normally cancers are detected only after an average of 10 years. For example mammography can detect signs of breast cancer only 11 years after the initial cancer cells had begun to form. Certain tests like AMAS (anti-malignin antibody in serum) can detect early signs of cancer but that too only after 5-6 years the cancer cells had begun to form. Modern medicine, particularly oncology does not concern itself with preventive and prophylactic care.It only focusses on treating after the diseases has grown. It uses the typical poisoning, burning and slashing method a slang used for chemotherapy, radiation and surgery respectively. This is termed as the cancer assembly line. It starts with series of expensive diagnostic tests leading to chemotherapy which solves part of the problem then comes radiation which solves bit more of the problem and lastly it is surgery which weeds out the problem. By this time cancer would have spread to some other organs which a process known as metastatic cancer spread. The patient then has to go through the same cancer assembly line again. In the process he comes out mutilated, tortured and half dead if not completely dead.
