Enter Turmeric Hills The Most Powerful Anti Oxidant supplement

"When it comes to tackling cancer it doesnt hurt to belive in miracles along with all the regular treatments."
Dr.Wilmar Robinson

Turmeric is a herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family that is native to Asia. Turmeric is one of nature's most powerful healers, antioxidants and immuno defense boosters. Turmeric is regularly used as a spice almost on daily basis in Asian Indian cuisine. There are hundreds of research report by various organizations, universities, laboratories which repeatedly confirm the preventive and mitigative effects of turmeric in degenerative diseases like cancer and alzheimer's. Turmeric Plant Turmeric Root Powdered Turmeric 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. Wikipedia page on Turmeric- Curcumin. (Wikipedia is the most authentic encyclopedia in the internet.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curcumin It has been estimated that everyday around 350 cancerous cells are formed in the body of a young healthy individual. But most of these deviant cells are killed by body's natural immune system even before these cells cross the microscopic stage. When the number of such deviant cells formed in the body increases and when the natural killer cell activity (immune system) decreases then these tumors can grow into a malignant form. At this stage clinical diagnosis of cancer happens. Turmeric is known to kill such deviant cancerous cells when they are in the microscopic stage itself. 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. www.turmeric-cancer.com

Turmeric may help lower risk of breast cancer after exposure to hormone replacement therapy, U.S. researchers say. The study, published in the journal Menopause, found curcumin -- a component of the spice turmeric -- delayed the first appearance, decreased incidence and reduced multiplicity of progestin-accelerated tumors in an animal model. Progestin is a synthetic progestagen that has effects similar to the hormone progesterone.

Turmeric, a spice that is a key ingredient in Indian curry dishes, contains a potent cancer-fighting agent, the New York Daily News reported Tuesday. A study published in the upcoming issue of Cancer magazine related that curcumin, a chemical pigment in turmeric, helped stop the spread of breast cancer tumor cells to the lungs of mice.Now doctors have launched clinical tests to see if it works on humans,

# According to 'How Stuff Works "one of turmeric's most exciting benefits is its potential ability to prevent cancer and even slow down the spread of cancer that has already developed. People who regularly include the spice in their diet have much lower occurrences of cancer" http://health.howstuffworks.com
# As per About.com "Researchers continue to examine the effects how curcumin can regulate the activation of immune system to help fight against cancer. In fact, over the last several years, several research papers have been published on its medicinal properties, many of which have focused on cancer care. An in-vitro cancer research study reported at the 2007 meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research concluded that curcumin-based therapies may be attractive in patients with ovarian carcinoma. An in-vitro study is one in which test tubes are used to conduct studies. Specific cells are targeted, like cancer cells, and studied to see how a drug or nutrient affects the cells. Two additional in-vitro studies suggest drug resistance in ovarian cancer cells was reduced when chemo and curcumin were given together". http://ovariancancer.about.com

• National Cancer Institute (US National Institute Of Health) define "Circumin as a yellow pigment of the spice turmeric that is being studied in cancer prevention"http://www.cancer.gov
• Medline Plus of US National Library Of Medicine mentions the uses of Turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn.)/ Circumin , based on scientific evidence. It mentions "Several early animal and laboratory studies report anti-cancer (colon, skin, breast) properties of Circumin. Many mechanisms have been considered, including antioxidant activity, anti-angiogenesis (prevention of new blood vessel growth), and direct effects on cancer cells"  Turmeric has also been found to treat stomach and duodenal ulcers"http://www.nlm.nih.gov
• British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has extensively reported on the beneficial uses of turmeric especially in preventing alzheimer's disease. "Turmeric a spicy ingredient of many curries may be an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease. The finding may help to explain why rates of Alzheimer's are much lower among the elderly in India than in their Western peers." http://news.bbc.co.uk
• Reuters the world leading news broadcasting organization reports that  " Researchers at the Cork Cancer Research Center in Ireland treated esophageal cancer cells with Circumin -- a chemical found in the spice turmeric, which gives curries a distinctive yellow color -- and found it started to kill cancer cells within 24 hours" Study showed curcumin caused the cancer cells to die "using an unexpected system of cell messages." http://reuters.com
• Drugs.com mission is the Internet's most trusted resource for drug and related health information. According to it "circumin and its analogs have been reported to inhibit cancer at multiple stages of development, including initiation, promotion, and metastasis. Curcumin is thought to act through a variety of mechanisms including the ability to induce apoptosis, inhibit angiogenesis, and modulate tumor suppressor genes. Studies have also indicated that curcumin has a radio sensitizing effect on cancer cell cultures" http://www.drugs.com

Turmeric is a herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family that is native to India. It is a part of daily diet in a typical South Asian cuisine - mainly the popular curry. Turmeric is one of nature's most powerful healers and immuno defense booster.  There are several hundreds of research report by various organizations, universities, laboratories which repeatedly confirm the powerful healing effects of turmeric in major diseases like cancer and alzheimer's.

India has one of the lowest incidence of cancer (particularly of breast cancer). This is despite high rates of tobacco and arecanut consumption in India. Moreover Alzheimer's disease is considered very rare in India. This is called as the Indian paradox similar to the popular term French paradox. French have very low incidence of coronary heart disease despite consuming a diet very rich in saturated fats. This is mainly due to the high consumption of red wine by the french. A constituent of red wine, a poly phenol known as  resveratrol is believed to cause such beneficial effect. Similarly turmeric is a part of cuisine in India almost on daily basis. A constituent circumin in the turmeric is believed to have this beneficial anti cancer property.

Many initiatives to prevent or delay the onset of AD have had contradictory results. Diet do seem to have some impact in preventing/delaying Alzheimer's Disease. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, bread, wheat and other cereals, olive oil, fish, and red wine, may all individually or together reduce the risk and course of Alzheimer's disease. Many vitamins such as B12, B3, C or folic acid have appeared to be related to a reduced risk of AD. Curcumin/Turmeric in curry has shown some effectiveness in preventing brain damage in mouse models. Curry is regularly a part of diet in India. Elderly people of rural India, who eat large amounts of curry, appear to have the lowest incidence of Alzheimer's disease in the world around 5 times lower than that of Americans.

Ginkgo is widely used in Europe for treating Alzheimer's disease. It improves blood flow to the brain and has good antioxidant properties. There is evidence that ginkgo may improve thinking, learning, and memory in people with Alzheimer's disease. One herb known as Ashwagandha (Botanical name Withania Somnifera) seems to have certain preventive and cognition improving effect on Alzheimer's patients. Ashwagandha (Botanical name: Withania Somnifera) is a medicinal plant used in India to treat a wide range of age-related disorders. Its most remarkable effect may involve its ability to preserve the health of the aging brain. Research indicates that ashwagandha extract is capable of halting and even repairing damage to brain cells in an experimentally induced model of Alzheimer's disease. In laboratory experiments in Japan 2004 and in earlier in Germany, researchers discovered that ashwagandha root extract inhibits acetyl cholinesterase in much the same way as the prescription drug donepezil, which is currently used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
