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.

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.

"As much
as 40% of Americans could develop some form of cancer in their lifetime
as on today."

We have to be armed to the
teeth in order to protect us from cancer. Nothing can be done about the
cancer causing environment as of now. A healthy diet and a source of supplements
that supply us with all the nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants can fortify
our body against this deadly disease. We need help and armaments from all
the sources in order to fight the war against cancer and win. Fortunately
preventive care with nutrients is very inexpensive and is almost free when
it is compared to treatment cost of cancer.
You will never be wasting
your time and effort by taking the supplements in order to defend against
cancer. So much of financial loss, suffering and pain can be avoided by
taking a small effort to fortify your precious body. Turmeric Curcumin
- the supplement that we offer can indeed offer high degree of protection
against cancer. It is never late to take curcumin
extract. It will be beneficial at any stage and age. Turmeric is
a powerful antioxidant and anti inflammation agent. These benefits of turmeric
can be felt within a couple of days.
