Don't Go Easy on Turmeric: It Prevents and Cures Cancer By VIJI SUNDARAM
India-West Staff Reporter Researchers at the University of Texas have concluded that curcumin, the dye that lends turmeric its yellow color, can block the biological
pathway to melanoma and other cancers. Dr. Bharat Aggarwal, who headed the 12-member team of researchers at UT's M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, told India-West in a telephone interview earlier this week that his clinical research has made
available not only "the master switch to turn off cancer, but also a cure for it." "It was already known that curcumin can prevent cancer," Aggarwal said. "Now it can also be used to cure cancer." And, he added: "We are providing evidence that curcumin can work on at least one dozen cancers." In fact, "let's put it this way: we have not found a single cancer on which curcumin doesn't work," Aggarwal asserted. Turmeric, whose vernacular name is haldi, is a rhizome of the plant Curcuma longa. The medicinal use of this plant has been documented in Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old system of medicine that has its origins in India. Turmeric has long been used as a food preservative, a coloring agent, a spice to flavor food and as a folk medicine to cleanse the body. Two to five percent of turmeric contains curcumin. Because of turmeric's extensive use in foods in India and Pakistan, the incidence of cancer, especially breast, colon prostate and lung, is a
lot less in those countries, Aggarwal said. And because south Indians use turmeric more widely than north Indians, "the prevalence of cancer is less among them than among north Indians," he said. The spice has been shown to relieve arthritis as well, he added. The UT
team's research focused on how curcumin stops laboratory strains of melanoma from proliferating, and pushes the cancer cells to commit suicide. The team homed in on a molecule called NF-kappa B, a powerful protein known to promote an abnormal inflammatory response that leads to cancer in some people, arthritis in others, and a wide range of other diseases in other people. "Nearly 98 percent of all diseases are controlled by this molecule," Aggarwal told India-West, pointing out that the humble yellow dye can
subdue this potent molecule. Earlier this year, a UCLA study published in the online edition of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, indicated that curcumin inhibits the accumulation of destructive beta amyloids in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. The team determined that curcumin is more effective in inhibiting formation of the protein fragments than many other drugs being tested to treat Alzheimer's. The prevalence of the disease among older adults in India is 4.4 times less than in the U.S., suggesting that many Indians might
be benefiting from having turmeric as a dietary staple. Researchers at Emory University have tweaked the curcumin structure and made analogues - synthetic versions -- of it which are far more potent than the real thing, Aggarwal said. The analogues were tested by the
National Cancer Institute and found very effective, he said. Combined with black pepper, curcumin becomes 2,000 times more potent, a fact that has resulted in the manufacture in the U.S. of a formulation called "Super Curcumin" and sold as a dietary supplement. Note Tattvas Herbs Turmeric contains Bioperine (extract of Black Pepper) Aggarwal said that Indians have known all along about the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric, but "there was no documented proof" up until now.

Herb of the Month

Ashwagandha

Winter Cherry

Suggested Retail: $17.95 - Sales Price $12.57 (30% Discount)

12 Bottles for $130.00 (40% Discount)

Ingredients:

Standardized extract of: Ashwagandha (Withania Somneriferum) 3.5% Withanoloids, 2% Alkaloids

Servings Per Container: 60 vegetarian capsules 500 mg. each

Indications:

Ashwagandha can be helpful in reducing stress, general debility, depression & moodiness, aging, fatigue (temporary and chronic), anxiety, depressed immunity, sexual debility in men, infertility, memory loss, and hormonal imbalances. It is recommended for stress induced disorders, rheumatic disorder, anxiety neurosis, wounds and ulcers, and weakness due to prolonged illness. Ashwagandha can be useful for patients with cancer who are being treated with standard chemotherapy .

Herbal Actions:

Tonic, nervine, sedative, nerve restorative, adaptogen, aphrodisiac, anti-inflammatory, rejuvenative, hypotensive, antispasmodic, antiarthritic. Ashwagandha is called Rasayana, which means powerful rejuvenator in Ayurvedic terminology. It increases hemoglobin (red blood count) and hair melanin.

Traditional Uses:

In Ayurvedic theory Ashwagandha balances both nervous system and musculoskeletal system. Therefore, it is helpful with fatigue and nervous exhaustion and increases digestive heat in chronic conditions. In arthritis, which involves joints that are painful, dry, swollen and inflamed, Ashwagandha would be the herb of choice.

Ashwagandha is effective for insomnia but does not act as a sedative. Its rejuvenative and nervine properties produce energy which in turn helps the body to settle and sleep. Thus it helps the body address a stress related condition rather than masking it with sedatives. A herb that rejuvenates the nervous system erases insomnia and eases stress.

Contraindications:

To date, no side effects have been reported with Ashwagandha.

Comments:

Ashwagandha is sometimes referred to as the Indian Ginseng. It is widely used in Ayurveda and is known to help relieve stress, restore muscle and body tissue, relieve chronic fatigue and aid in rheumatism. It is commonly used as an aphrodisiac and helps prevent male sterility. Ashwagandha helps the body adapt to stress, but it also rebuilds the nervous system without stimulating it. Recent research points out that Ashwagandha may be the best herb to take for the support of adrenal exhaustion. Many people suffer from adrenal exhaustion and are misdiagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or simply walk out of the doctors office without any clear idea as to why they feel so fatigued and stressed all of the time. Caffeine, nicotine, processed foods and processed sugar take their toll on the Adrenal glands and leave the victim fatigued, depressed and often bewildered as to what to do with themselves. Ashwagandha helps the Adrenals recover quickly to a balanced state assuming the offending bad habits are stopped.

Ashwagandha is specifically used for a wide range of conditions including arthritic inflammation, anxiety, insomnia, respiratory disorders including emphysema, asthma bronchitis and coughs, nervous disorders, gynecological disorders, especially female and male infertility and impotence. Ashwagandha is one of the main herbs for promoting ojas and rejuvenating the body. In Ayurvedic medicine, Ashwagandha is known to protect the body from illness by maintaining the healthy balance of physical energies.
