"Recent studies have demonstrated that curcumin has a wide range of beneficial pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory [3], antioxidant [4], antiviral [5], antiangiogenic and antitumori- genic [1] effects."
Curcumin is the natural yellow product extracted from the Indian herb turmeric. It is currently used as part of many different protocols for our children that makes it's pure benefits unclear (in my opinion) because it is combined with other non-natural components such as psychotropic drugs.
Curcumin has properties of an iron chelator which is huge in the population of our children who tend to have high iron loads, as Lucas does. Things like cancer and tumor growth need a good supply of iron, it is their feeding source. In fact, the attached article demonstrates the ability to track development of cancerous tumors and other diseases by monitorring iron loads over time. Allowing excess unbound iron in the system will lead to devastating results.
Curcumin impairs tumor and cancerous cell growth - both of which need iron to grow, in addition it is an antioxidant and free radical scavenger.
Are any of you using curcumin as a supplement? What reasons did you decide to do so?
