turmeric powder
The health benefits of turmeric have been known for a long time and it has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to cure many different ailments. However, it is only in recent years that scientists have discovered how turmeric for cancer prevention actually works.It seems this spice, or to be correct its active ingredient called curcumin, can potentially halt cancer in all three main stages by killing the cancer cells but crucially leaving the healthy cells alone.
Turmeric's real potency is its role in fighting cancer. Shane Ellison in his book "Over the Counter Natural Cures"(book can be bought from amazon)(http://www.overthecounternaturalcures.com/index.html) calls it a chemotherapy agent. Everyone has cancer cells. But cancer becomes a problem only when those cells begin to proliferate out of control. All cancer cells are programmed to self-destruct. This immune-protective procedure is called "apoptosis". It seems that the body replaces 1,000,000 cells per-second thanks to apoptosis. To trigger the mechanism we require specific nutrients. Appropriate weapons can be found in broccoli and green-tea, but the best of the bunch is turmeric. In the 1990s the University of Texas, Anderson Cancer Center described the affect "Indian Gold" had on tumor production as "staggering".They found that it blocked the pathways that enhanced cancer growth. It seems the spice blocks "VEGF" or vascular endothelial growth factor. Lacking VEGF the cancer cells weaken and then implode upon themselves. The transcription factors in the cells are turned off and so the cancer cells subsequently die of their own accord. Why? It appears that transcription factors turn off the cells natural tendency to do away with themselves. Once you turn off the transcription factors then the cells natural tendency to self destruction is restored. Turmeric helps destroy cancer cells but it advantageously also promotes the growth of healthy cells.
Its antioxidant properties help to fight free radicals, which cause damage to healthy cells, and have been shown in tests on mice to stop the spread of many cancers, especially breast, from reaching other key areas. One of the main ways this is achieved is by enhancing liver function.
So using turmeric for cancer prevention appears to be the way forward. It has also shown great promise in helping Alzheimer's, lowering cholesterol and as an effective remedy for skin problems and healing wounds.
