Medicinal Spices - The Incredible Properties of Turmeric!
The bioactive ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, responsible for over 150 potentially therapeutic activities in your body.
Curcumin has demonstrated preventive and treatment actions against cancer cells, and may help both reduce the negative effects of chemotherapy agents and intensify the cancer-killing abilities of the drugs https://buff.ly/2MFpxuC
Consumed alone, bioavailability of curcumin is poor; however, there are methods that may improve absorption and help raise your therapeutic levels

Turmeric, a yellow curry spice used in Indian cuisine, has a long history of medicinal use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Ayurvedic medicine. Curcumin is one of the most well-studied bioactive ingredients in turmeric,1 having over 150 potentially therapeutic activities, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and powerful anticancer actions. https://buff.ly/2MFpxuC
Cancer has an incredible global impact and places a vast financial and emotional burden on the families it touches. Nearly 40 percent of American men and women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and over $125 billion is spent annually on medical treatment and patient care.2
The American Cancer Society estimated there would be over 1.6 million new cases diagnosed in 2017, equating to 4,630 new cases and 1,650 deaths every day.3 The most common types of cancer include breast, colon, lung and prostate.4
Despite advances in cancer treatment protocols, scientists realize prevention plays an essential role in reducing the number of people who die from the disease. After 30 years of testing more than 1,000 different possible anticancer substances, the National Cancer Institute announced that curcumin has joined an elite group that will now be used in clinical trials for chemoprevention.5
Curcumin May Play a Multitargeted Role Against Cancer Cell;

The Miraculous Healing Powers Of Turmeric and Why We Should Consume It Every Day!
Spices have played an integral role on planet earth for thousands of years. Both as medicine and to add flavor to food. One spice in particular stands out for me, and that is turmeric, a plant rhizome that is often dried, ground and used as a cooking spice,
has also been used medicinally for several thousand years. Curcumin,
the phytochemical that gives turmeric its golden color, is responsible
for most of the therapeutic effects of turmeric. Many researchers are
investigating turmeric in cancer therapy, and the results are very positive.
Spices possess exceptionally therapeutic and medicinal properties which have been known for centuries amongst some cultures such as the people of India, where spcies such as Turmeric, Cardamon, Ginger, Pepper, Coriander, Cumin, Cinnamon, Star Anise and Fennel, have featured as a "main stay" in their diet for thousands of years. As a result of this practice it perhaps not surprising that there is a very low incidence of cancer in this country. However, like so much of the modern world, there has been a steady movement towards convenience foods {takeaways and fastfood} and highly processed and refined foods including GMO food. This has arisen in direct proportion to the migration pattern from farms and villages to the cities. Where manual labor has been exchanged for sedentary work and has only added to the rise of illnesses, including Mental Health, Obesity, Strokes, Diabetes and Mortality. And was particularly prevalent in the big cities, whereas, the small towns and villages still retained their more traditional values, of which food always plays a very important role. I've seen this first hand while I was living in Japan over 20-years-ago now {which is a country who has some of the oldest living people on the planet, many of who are still leading active lifestyles such as the world reknown female Ama Pearl Divers and also their male counterparts in Japan and Korea, who continue to dive up until there 70 and 80th year}.
It is the Asian countries where turmeric is consumed in the highest quantities but in addition their diets are also more balanced and foods are selected from a wider range of crops including the daily use of herbs and spices. Many of the foods are very astringent, something we Westerners are not very familiar with. As we tend to shy away from the bitterness associated with these bitter foods such as Arugula, which is a leafy green vegetable and from the brassicacae family. And is particularly helpful in stimulating the liver to produce bile and promotes detoxification.
Personally, I use turmeric every day. From first thing in the morning as part of my detox regime {a 300ml glass of hot water with a couple of pinches of organic turmeric powder, ginger powder, 1tsp of ghee and a squeeze of lemon juice}. Then I make a 1.9 liter thermos flask of organic green tea, fennel seed, ginger and a few pinches of turmeric. Which I then drink from throughout the day and it helps aid with digestion.
Lastly another option is to consider a new organic supplement on the market called puraTHRIVE a liposomal turmeric extract and they even have an incredible new Vit B12 liposomal product on the market as well.
To conclude, I only put my name behind those products and companies who have the utmost concern and care for your health and welfare. And it's not until I've thoroughly researched the product then I'm willing to promote and endorse it.
Thank you onoce again for your time and attention. It means a lot to me that you should choose to read my words and I hope it may be of benefit to you and/or someone you know.
Wishing you abundant health, wealth, peace, love and happiness......
