someone were to truly objectively

evaluate turmeric okay I don’t think

there’s one condition one health problem

that you couldn’t find some benefit from

taking this right here it’s amazing I’ve

been growing turmeric for the last nine

months and I finally harvested it and my

wife and I are eating it and we’re just

chewing it it’s like an aromatic carrot

it’s not very strong but boy does this

have some serious potent properties but

first let me talk about how to increase

the bioavailability of turmeric now

anytime you take turmeric in a

supplement I highly recommend you don’t

take it in the curcumin extract only you

want the whole plant because curcumin is

only one of many many and I’m talking

about thousands of different

phytonutrients in turmeric so if you get

something that says curcumin extract

also make sure it comes with the

turmeric powder or you could just like I

said before chew the whole thing number

two black pepper paper or white pepper

will help you increase the absorption by

roughly two thousand percent the white

pepper actually increases the absorption

a little bit better but they’re both

pretty similar now what you could do if

you’re going to take a supplement or

just consume this you can just take a

black peppercorn or a white peppercorn

and this swallow it that will help and

thirdly add some fat at the same time

you’re consuming it the question is why

because a lot of these phytonutrients

including curcumin are fat soluble so in

order to better absorb them you need

some fat you can do ghee you can do

butter MCT oil coconut oil olive oil any

of the fats just a little bit now the

other thing to know is that these

phytonutrients are a bit heat sensitive

so if you’re gonna put them in your

Foods chances are they’re not going to

be as potent the other point is if you

get a supplement with turmeric or the

curcumin extract make sure you get the

one that’s freeze dry right because

freeze-dried allows for these enzymes to

be activated so they’re in a state

that’s dormant but they’re not overly

processed or heated so let’s just do a

deep dive into what this stuff actually

can do for your body out of all the

plants I would imagine that turmeric is

right at the very top as far as the

number of studies that were done on this

I’m talking about double blinded

placebo-controlled studies on all sorts

of things the two big areas of research

for turmeric are number one inflammation

and number two cancer and the amazing

thing about turmeric is that it has

virtually no side effects there’s been

no deaths no serious side effects maybe

some slight digestive problems if you

have too much but even at high doses

there’s no major serious side effects

like there are with medications and

they’ve compared a lot of different

medications to turmeric and turmeric

keeps up with these medication effects

okay so let’s start with antioxidant

potential it increases glutathione it

increases other antioxidant networks in

your body by actually increasing your

ability to activate these antioxidants

there are certain genes that turn on or

turn off your antioxidants and turmeric

has the ability to turn them on to help

fight off free radical damage that’s

involved with oxidation and inflammation

turmeric also has potent effects for

your brain and nervous system it’s been

tested to show significant improvements

Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s other

neurodegenerative disorders it’s also

been shown to decrease the formation of

plaquing in the brain it has very potent

cardiovascular effects and helping

lowering blood pressure decreasing

lipids help slowing down the formation

of plaquing in arterial sclerosis and

clogged arteries it also protects that

inner lining of your arteries the

endothelial layer that is usually most

vulnerable to inflammation now from a

microbe standpoint turmeric is a

powerful anti-microbial antiviral

antibacterial anti-candida anti-fungal

antiparasitic anti-h pylori so it’s

great to take if someone had an

infection it shows great benefits to

dermatitis and many other skin problems

psoriasis it’s great for the liver too

to protect the liver against fat

formation fibrosis which someone

develops after they have inflammation in

the liver because turmeric has very

potent anti-inflammatory properties it’s

going to slow down fibrosis certain

things in turmeric also increase bile

salts and that gives you a whole Cascade

of improving digestion increasing the

fat soluble vitamins turmeric helps

support the gut mucosal lining and

that’s really important to prevent

autoimmune diseases allergies and immune

deficiencies curcumin in turmeric

directly targets the DNA to help protect

the DNA against free radical damage to

help in the Improvement and repair of

DNA it also helps the cells that are

damaged commit suicide and that’s a good

thing it’s called apoptosis which is

controlled a cell death if there’s a

problem in the cell which that right

there can help lessen the risk for

cancer curcumin also protects the cell

if someone is taking chemo or radiation

therapy as well as increasing the

effectiveness of that treatment turmeric

also helps the endocrine system in many

different ways one big way is to make

insulin more sensitive so if someone has

insulin resistance as a pre-diabetic or

a diabetic it helps insulin become more

sensitive there’s been quite a few

studies and I’m talking about like

clinical trials that are double-blinded

placebo-controlled studies showing

protection against a pre-diabetic going

in to a diabetic also at the same time

diabetics taking this greatly reduce the

complications from diabetes so even

though they have diabetes they have a

lot less side effects also turmeric

shows great therapeutic benefits in

being an adaptogen which is something to

help you increase your tolerance against

stress this has also been used to help

depression anxiety so it can help both

mood disorders as well as cognitive

disorders but like I said before cancer

and inflammation are the two primary

things that turmeric is known for

there’s a lot of research in many

different types of cancers not only

directly targeting the cancer but

inhibiting a lot of the mechanisms that

are involved with cancer including

inhibiting angiogenesis which is feeding

blood flow to the cancer countering some

of the mechanisms that cancer and tumor

cells use to suppress your own immune

system so it actually helps your cells

prevent the cancer cell from surviving

and also in one study they found

curcumin inside a colon cancer cell

which means that somehow it ended up

there which is a good thing because now

that can create some really cool effects

there’s many different Pathways involved

with inflammation and so curcumin seems

to inhibit most of those Pathways which

gives a very broad spectrum approach for

inflammation I’ll include one study that

shows all the different medications that

work for inflammation and then how

curcumin mimics a lot of these

medications and so curcumin is not

actually a root it’s a rhizosome which

is kind of like a the stem of a plant

that lives underneath the soil to help

protect it and like I said before it’s

it’s not bad but if you’re not growing

it just go to the grocery store go ahead

and buy some organic and just eat two or

three of these per day to prevent a lot

of problems

hmm

delicious
