500 Reasons Turmeric May Be The World's Most Important Herb

July 2nd 2012



There is a medicinal spice so timelessly interwoven with the origins of human culture and metabolism, so thoroughly supported by modern scientific inquiry, as to be unparalleled in its proven value to human health and well-being.

Indeed, turmeric turns the entire drug-based medical model on its head.

Instead of causing more side effects than therapeutic ones – which you can read any drug insert to see is a universally true phenomenon and which ensures the infinite expansion of the pharmaceutical market and all the associated medical services – it has several hundred potential side benefits.

While no food or herb is right for everyone, and everything has the potential for unintended, adverse side effects, turmeric is truly unique in its exceptionally high margin of safety vis-à-vis the drugs it has been compared with, e.g. hydrocortisone, ibuprofen, chemotherapy agents. Furthermore, nothing within the modern-day pharmaceutical armamentarium comes even remotely close to turmeric’s 6,000 year track record of safe use in Ayurvedic medicine.

Despite its vast potential for alleviating human suffering, turmeric will never receive the FDA stamp of approval, due to its lack of exclusivity, patentability and therefore profitability. Truth be told, the FDA’s "gold standard" for proving the value of a prospective medicinal substance betrays the age old aphorism: "he who owns the gold makes the rules," and unless an investor is willing to risk losing the 800+ million dollars that must be spent upfront, the FDA-required multi-phased double-blind, randomized clinical trials will not occur. For additional details on this rather seedy arrangement read our article on the topic: Why The Law Forbids The Medicinal Use of Natural Substances.

Here at GreenMedInfo.com, we have reviewed over 4,000 study abstracts from the National Library of Medicine’s bibliographic database known as MEDLINE and have discovered over 580 potential health benefits of turmeric, and/or its primary polyphenol known as curcumin. These can be viewed on our turmeric research page which is dedicated to disseminating the research on the topic to a larger audience.

Some of the most amazing demonstrated properties include:

• Destroying Multi-Drug Resistant Cancer
• Destroying Cancer Stem Cells (arguably, the root of all cancer)
• Protecting Against Radiation-Induced Damage
• Reducing Unhealthy Levels of Inflammation
• Protecting Against Heavy Metal Toxicity
• Preventing and Reversing Alzheimer’s Disease Associated Pathologies

Again, what is so amazing is not that turmeric may have value in six conditions simultaneously, or that it may improve conditions that are completely resistant to conventional treatment, but that there are over five-hundred and eighty additional health conditions it may also be valuable in preventing and/or treating.

Consider also the fact that turmeric grows freely on the Earth, and you will understand why its very existence threatens a trillion-dollar plus conventional medical establishment.

Thanks for this information. I have taken Turmeric as a supplement in the past but this is a good reminder as to its value.

Don't bother taking the irriadiated crap that is found on most supermarket shevles.
That stuff contains virtually none of the beneficial health properties mentioned in the O.P.
If you're going to use tumeric, make sure it's certified organic tumeric - otherwise you're just wasting your time (and money).

Thanks Jacko. I'm so inspired, I'm going to try to get a fresh root or whole plant so I can grow it in my food & medicine forest

I second that.

Jacko you radiate the light of an honest truth warrior. Thank you for being.

I have been taking tumeric everyday for the last three years. I initially started to take it because I was exposed to a parafin based grease solvent. This basically caused massive skin issues. I researched skin remedies and found out that African men used it to cure ingrown hairs from shaving etc. It really worked and made my recovery so rapid that the doctor freaked out. It also caused the scarring to be much less severe. Along with that I have noted its use as a pain killer or anti-inflammatory as well. Tumeric works.

Ever since it was brought up on this forum I've been adding it to my food. And if I have a headache I take a little on the tip of my finger. It's good stuff....

Thanks for posting this. My husband told me his mother (they are Laotian) has used Turmeric when him or his siblings were sick. He did mention she would make them drink the boiled root too. I love turmeric as well, it has many uses.

Good reminder, this is true of all important medicinal herbs, and also for obtaining the medicinal benefits of foods. If it's not organic, don't expect anything other than empty calories.

I eat one small organic turmeric root once a weak raw, this is the way to go raw. Turmeric is a phenomenal herb. One of the best. The only negative thing about turmeric is your teeth will turn yellow for a few hours as well as your tongue if you eat it raw. A little embarassing if your around people. Its also bitter to the taste.

Way to go Whitefeather!!!

If one wants to avoid the yellow teeth, tongue and bitter taste, one can also consider to make a fruitsmoothy every other day in which you can add all sorts of beneficial additives like Turmeric, ginger, bee pollen, omega 3 & 6 oil etc.
I make them with a few peace's of fruit, nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts), seeds like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds etc., some oatmeal and berries. All organic of course.
Mix them with water, some yoghurt or fresh cheese in the blender and voilà.... a healthy fine tasting smoothy with everything in it.

Turmeric is in Curry, many people eat bean and cheese burritos for a quick meal, by adding Curry and Garlic, (Minced, not salt) it lowers blood pressure and aids the full respiratory system...

only 1 time a week makes a difference, you don't need to eat it for every meal...
