| Turmeric is a herbaceous
perennial plant of the ginger family that is native to Asia. 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 preventive and mitigative effects
of turmeric in major diseases like cancer and alzheimer's.
Turmeric is a very powerful antioxidant.
It is 300 times more effective as 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 dish, the combination treatment
with curcumin killed off two to three times more cancer cells than either
treatment alone.
Curcumin can indeed offer high degree
of protection against cancer.
Below are
the excerpts from various research reports on the cancer fighting properties
of turmeric. |
-
National Cancer
Institute (US National Institute Of Health) define "curcumin
as a yellow pigment of the spice turmeric that is being studied in cancer
prevention"
-
Medline Plus
of
US National Library Of Medicine mentions the uses of Turmeric (Curcuma
longa Linn.)/ curcumin , based on scientific evidence. It mentions "Several
early animal and laboratory studies report anti-cancer (colon, skin, breast)
properties of curcumin. 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"
-
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.
-
Reuters
the world leading news broadcasting organization reports that " Researchers
at the Cork Cancer Research Center in Ireland treated esophageal cancer
cells with curcumin -- 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."
-
Drugs.com
mission is the Internet's most trusted resource for drug and related health
information. According to it "curcumin 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 suppresser genes.
Studies have also indicated that curcumin has a radio sensitizing effect
on cancer cell cultures"
-
Cancer Articles
Blog one of internet's leading blogs on cancer mentions "terrific
results have been shown when using curcumin is on different forms of cancer.
curcumin has been shown to stop the growth of existing prostate cancer
cells and also to show prevention of cancer cells forming. It
has been shown to stop breast cancer spreading into the lungs of
mice. The reason
turmeric for cancer prevention is able to arrest
the spread of the melanoma cells is by stopping new blood vessels growing
in the cells without which the cancer cells die"
-
Cancer Compass
, portal that helps cancer patients to make informed decisions reports
that "Turmeric could help prevent and possibly
even cure cancer. Turmeric contains an ingredient called curcumin
that researchers say may help suppress and destroy the blood cancer multiple
myeloma. A study done in Japan found that curcumin prevented cancer and
stopped tumors from growing"
-
The Natural
News Network is a non-profit organization that empower individuals
to make positive changes in their health. It reports that "Turmeric
is an antioxidant that can actually shield DNA from harmful exterior pollutants
known to cause leukemia. Turmeric can also block harmful effects
of cigarette smoke and it prevents harmful chemicals from forming after
eating processed foods. Curcumin, one of the active compounds in turmeric,
may be responsible for much of this benefit."
-
American Cancer
Society (Cancer.org) reports that "According
to Dr Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research
UK, natural chemicals found in turmeric could be developed into new treatments
for esophageal cancer."
-
According to ehow.com
" Turmeric (from the curcuma longa root, which is native to India)
is a yellow, powdered spice that gives curry its distinctive color and
flavor. Widely acknowledged to be a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory
properties,
turmeric is currently under investigation
in several studies to determine its use for cancer prevention and treatment
"
-
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"
-
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
studies suggest drug resistance in ovarian cancer cells was reduced when
chemo and curcumin were given together".
-
Medicine World
reports that according to Bharat Aggarwal of the Department of Experimental
Therapeutics at the University of Texas Anderson
Cancer Center in Houston " studies suggest that people
who eat diets rich in turmeric have lower rates of breast cancer, prostate
cancer, lung cancer and colon cancer" This study was funded
by the US Department of Defense's Breast Cancer
Research Program.
-
According to Wall
Street Journal "New evidence suggests a common Indian spice
is a potent antioxidant that can prevent many diseases. Curcumin, the
active ingredient in turmeric, could be used to prevent a range
of illnesses, from cancer to skin disorders"
-
BBC - British
Broadcasting Corporation reports that "A
team from Loyola University Medical Center, Chicago, said the spice
turmeric-
often used in Asian cooking - may have a protective effect against the
cancer. Professor Moolky Nagabhushan of the Loyola University
Medical Centre said laboratory tests had shown turmeric could protect against
the effects of cigarette smoke on the body and that curcumin - which gives
turmeric its coloring - prevented leukemia cells multiplying in human cell
cultures."
-
The Australian
Broadcasting Corporation reports that "Turmeric, a yellow spice
used widely in Indian cooking, may help stop the spread of cancer. Earlier
research shows that curcumin, which acts as an antioxidant, can help prevent
tumors from forming in the laboratory.
Dr Aggarwal of Anderson
Cancer Center in Houston says earlier studies suggest that people
who eat diets rich in turmeric have lower rates of breast cancer,
prostate cancer, lung cancer and colon cancer. His team would like to try
giving curcumin to women who know they have a high risk of breast cancer,
such as those who have a mother or sister with the disease."
-
According to researchers at
University
Of Missouri "Turmeric may help lower
risk of breast cancer after exposure to hormone replacement
therapy. Curcumin -- a component of the spice turmeric delayed the first
appearance, decreased incidence and reduced multiplicity of progestin-accelerated
tumors. Curcumin should be tested further as dietary chemopreventive agents
in women already exposed to hormone replacement therapy containing estrogen
and progestin in an effort to decrease or delay the risk of breast cancer
associated with combined hormone replacement therapy."
-
According to The North American Menopause
Society " We suggest that curcumin be tested
as a dietary chemopreventive agent in women in an effort to decrease or
delay the risk of breast cancer"
-
As per FOX
NEWS "Chemical in Turmeric, Popular
in Curries, May Cut Colon Cancer. Clinical trial showed the
food chemicals reduced the size and number of pre cancerous growths in
the intestinal tract. If left untreated, such growths commonly lead to
colon cancer. Observational studies in people who eat large amounts of
curries with these ingredients, as well as animal tests, have suggested
that curcumin, the yellow pigment extracted from turmeric, may help prevent
and treat colon cancer, say the researchers."
-
According to British Journal Of Cancer
"Curcumin has been shown to inhibit the growth
of various types of cancer cells. Treatment of human pancreatic
cancer cells with a low and single exposure of curcumin for 24 hours causes
significant arrest of cancer cells"
-
In another report by British
Journal Of Cancer "Curcumin induced
cell death in esophageal cancer cells"
-
According to Irish Times "Turmeric
molecules found to kill cancer cells. Molecules found in a curry
spice have been shown by researchers at University College Cork to kill
esophageal cancer cells. The researchers found when they treated esophageal
cancer cells in the laboratory with curcumin – a chemical found in the
curry spice turmeric – it started to kill cancer cells within 24 hours.
The cells also began to digest themselves"
-
According to Cork Cancer Research
Center, Ireland "Molecule curcumin found in
a curry spice have been shown to kill esophageal cancer. Dr
Sharon McKenna, lead researcher on the study at the Cork Cancer Research
Center in UCC, said it was especially interesting that the cancer cells
that would be the most resistant to chemotherapy were actually very sensitive
to this compound."
-
As per Scientists at Ohio State University
"Newer evidence describes how curcumin interacts
with certain proteins to generate anti-cancer activity inside the body"
-
According to Times Of India the
leading English language newspaper of India "Synthetic molecules derived
from curcumin, main ingredient of Indian spice
turmeric, can help kill cancer cells and stop them from spreading"

University "a pill combining chemicals found in turmeric, a spice
used in curries, and onions reduces both the size and number of pre cancerous
lesions in the human intestinal tract"
-
The New York Daily News reports
that "Turmeric - a key spice in virtually all
curries - contains a potent cancer fighting agent that may eventually provide
treatments for several hard-to-treat types of tumors."
-
According to Ivanhoe Broadcast News
which covers Medical Breakthroughs "The ingredient
that makes curry yellow may be the next treatment for skin cancer.
A new study finds curcumin -- the yellow pigment found in the spice turmeric
-- stops melanoma cell growth and stimulates cell death"
-
Food For Breast Cancer is an
internet portal created by Sarah Charles, a breast cancer survivor
with
a mathematics degree from UCLA and a graduate degree from Harvard. According
to her web site "Turmeric component curcumin inhibits
breast cancer cell proliferation. Numerous other studies that
have reported that curcumin has anticancer effects against various types
of breast cancer cells, including estrogen receptor-positive and progesterone
receptor-positive (ER+/PR+), triple negative, and HER2 overexpressing cell
lines."
-
According to the SUN Newspaper
United
Kingdom "Scientists have discovered a potential
cure for cancer — CURRY. A molecule located in a spice from the Indian
dish was found to kill the diseased cells within 24 HOURS. The
shock discovery was made after the chemical curcumin — found in the turmeric
spice — was tested to fight cancer.
-
According to Anti Cancer Book "A
new study shows that a combination of turmeric
can limit the growth of stem cells for breast cancer -- the cells that
conventional treatment have the hardest time eliminating."
-
University Of Maryland Medical Center
reports that "There has been a great deal of research on turmeric's anti-cancer
potential. Evidence from test tube and animal studies suggests that curcumin
may help prevent, control, or kill several types of cancers, including
prostate cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer and colon cancer.
Curcumin's effects may be due to its ability to stop the blood vessels
that supply cancerous tumors from growing, and its preventive effects may
come from its strength as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage"
There are more
than 1500 such research reports and studies which confirm the power of
Turmeric in preventing and mitigating cancer.
Apart from anti cancer properties
Turmeric/curcumin can help significantly in following conditions.
-
It is a natural liver detoxifier.
-
It is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial
agent.
-
May prevent melanoma and cause
existing melanoma cells to commit suicide
-
Has long been used in Chinese medicine
as a treatment for depression.
-
May help in the treatment of psoriasis
and other inflammatory skin conditions
-
Turmeric is very effective in tackling
stomach disorders and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
-
May be an effective
preventive antidote for Alzheimer's disease and may reduce the severity
and progression where the disease is already contracted. (elderly
- aged 70-79, residents of India, who eat large amounts of curry, appear
to have the lowest incidence of Alzheimer's disease in the world: 4.4 times
lower than that of Americans).
-
Turmeric is a very powerful anti
inflammatory substance. Turmeric can rival any steroid in anti inflammation
action with zero side effects unlike steroids. In fact many of the cancer
fighting properties of turmeric comes from such such anti inflammation
action.
There are hundreds of such scientific
reports and studies that prove the power of turmeric in preventing and
mitigating cancer. In this context many questions arise.
Is turmeric an insurance
policy against cancer? Can I avoid developing cancer if I take turmeric?
Can turmeric cure cancer?
It will be inappropriate to say yes
conclusively. But the benefits of turmeric when it comes to cancer (and
alzheimer's disease) are very commonly accepted and experienced. There
are certain commonly accepted risk factors for cancer. Growing old,
tobacco consumption, exposure to sunlight, ionizing radiation (exposure
to x rays, scanners etc.), certain chemicals and other substances (many
pesticides are carcinogenic), some viruses and bacteria, certain hormones,
family history of cancer, genetic predisposition, alcohol, poor diet, lack
of physical activity or being overweight are considered as cancer risk
factors.
Similarly certain anti oxidants and
supplements are known to de risk cancer. Green tea, resveratrol (found
in red wine), lycopene (found in tomato), leafy vegetables (particularly
broccoli), many vitamins and other anti oxidants which scavenge the free
radicals are known to protect against cancer. Of these curcumin (turmeric)
is the numero uno.
What is the quantity of
turmeric to be consumed and how long?
In fact it is not turmeric that
is beneficial but the compound curcumin in turmeric. Turmeric is not
all of curcumin but even the best quality of
turmeric does not contain
more than 3% of curcumin. For every 1 gram (1000 mg) of turmeric consumed
only around 30 mg of the beneficial curcumin is found.
It may be interesting to note that
even curcumin by itself is not of any use. Curcumin is a poorly
water-soluble substance and its bio availability is very low. It means
that only a tiny fraction of curcumin is actually absorbed by the cells.
In this context curcuminoid
- a derivative of curcumin comes into the picture. curcuminoid is a
derivative of a curcumin with different chemical groups that have been
formed to increase solubility and bioavailbility of curcumins. Studies
have shown that as compared to curcumin the absorption of curcuminoid is
higher by as much as 20 times.

The actual chemical formula is same
for both curcumin and curcuminoid. But there is a significant change in
the molecular structure which instills the beneficial property in curcuminoid
as compared to curcumin.
What do we offer?
Ours is an ISO 9002 Accredited
and Good Manufacturing Procedure (GMP) certified factory. We source
the best quality raw turmeric (curcum longa) directly from the place where
it is grown. We use a patented process to extract curcumin from turmeric
and convert the extracted curcumin into the bio available curcuminoid.
We offer the final product in capsule form -
each capsule contains
300 milligrams of the product and it contains 50% - 150 milligrams of curcuminoid
the rest is curcumin and turmeric.
One single
capsule of our curcuminoid extract (150 mg curcuminoid) has same beneficial
properties as 100 grams of raw turmeric
The normal recommended course
is 2 capsules per day. So basically you will be taking 300 milligrams
( 2 X 150) of curcuminoid per day. That is equivalent of 200 grams of raw
turmeric. Even in the spiciest of South Asian cuisine the average consumption
of turmeric does not go beyond 2 grams per day. You can never get sufficient
benefit of turmeric by adding it in your cuisine.
We
recommend our Turmeric (curcuminoid) extract. It is filled in soft vegetarian
capsules and is taken twice a day. We advice atleast 4 months course initially.
Our turmeric (curcuminoid) processing factory has ISO 9002 Accreditation,
Good Manufacturing Procedure (GMP) Certification and FDA approval as a
dietary supplement facility. Our product is completely safe and it is packed
with all the benefits.
Important Note : Our Turmeric Hills
DOES NOT contain turmeric powder but contains curcuminoid. To get the similar
benefit of 1 bottle of our Turmeric Hills from turmeric that is
available in the market, around 6 kilograms of raw turmeric has to be consumed.
1 Bottle of our Turmeric Hills = 6 Kg (13.4
pounds) of Raw Turmeric.

Some important health tips on Cancer
The modern day atmosphere we are living in is most conducive for Cancer.
The air we inhale, the food we eat and the water we drink are bombard with
carcinogens of varying degree. The food we eat has far deviated from nature.
Processed food, packaged food, fast food, excessive meat consumption, fatty
food consumption add fuel to the fire. Add to this tobacco & alcohol
consumption and utter lack of physical activity ... we are sitting on Cancer
bomb. We are booking our birth in cancer train. In
Western countries 1 in 6 will contract some type of cancer in their lifetime...
up from 1 in 12 some 30 years ago.
Something has to be and can be done before this cancer terror strikes.
It is important that you talk to your doctor on this. Certain basic lifestyle
changes can be followed by all of us.
-
Avoid excessive meat consumption (particularly
red meat). Avoid excessive fatty food.
-
Absolute NO to tobacco. Stay far away from secondary
smoke. Alcohol consumption has to be in extreme moderation.
-
Every day in the morning immediately on waking
up drink at least 1 liter of water and do not eat or drink anything else
for 30 minutes.
-
After 30 minutes of water intake drink one cup
of green tea along with one clove of garlic (or garlic extract pill) and
one Turmeric Hills pill..
-
Consume as much tomato as possible. It can be
in any form like tomato sauce, ketchup, juice raw fruit etc.
-
Broccoli is a wonder vegetable. It is known not
only to prevent but also kill cancerous cells. Consume as much broccoli
you can for at least 4 times a week. Do not pressure cook or microwave
cook it. Take it raw and if you do have to cook it merely dip it in boiling
water for not more than 10 minutes.
-
Ensure that you do at least 150 minutes of aerobic
activity every week.
Please do the above on an ongoing basis throughout your life and you will
be drastically reducing your chance of contracting any type of cancer.
Not only cancer the chances of you ever contracting most other diseases
like diabetes, heart disease etc. will also be very slim. You will be leading
a completely fit, healthy and happy life.
