It contains curcumin as an active ingredient. Rather than rely on mailing list buddies for accurate life altering info, it's safer to try official definitions first. This from wikpedia: Chuck Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent. Turmeric From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search iTurmeric Curcuma longa Curcuma longa Scientific classification Kingdom:Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Liliopsida Subclass: Zingiberidae Order: Zingiberales Family: Zingiberaceae Genus: Curcuma Species:C. longa Binomial name Curcuma longa Linnaeus Turmeric (Curcuma longa, also called tumeric or kunyit in some Asian countries[1]) is a spice commonly used in curries and other South Asian cuisine. Its active ingredient is curcumin. It is a significant ingredient in most commercial curry powders. Turmeric is also used to give a yellow color to some prepared mustards, canned chicken broth, and other foods (often as a much cheaper replacement for saffron). It makes a poor fabric dye as it is not very lightfast (the degree to which a dye resists fading due to light exposure). Turmeric, a representative of plant genus Curcuma, is a member of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. In Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric is thought to have many healthful properties and many in India use it as a readily available antiseptic for cuts and burns. It is taken in some Asian countries as a dietary supplement, which allegedly helps with stomach problems and other ailments. It is popular as a tea in Okinawa, Japan. It is currently being investigated for possible benefits in Alzheimer's disease, cancer and liver disorders. Sangli, a town in the southern part of the Indian state of Maharashtra, is the largest and most important trading centre for turmeric in Asia or perhaps in the entire world.[citation needed] -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.

Re: CSCurcumin
I love LEF, and agree entirely that the membership fee can pay for itself on the first big discounted order. All the same, I'd point out again that nutriceuticals such cinnamon and turmeric are cheap in bulk at places like Costco, and very easy to take as food. Likewise the very healthy blueberry, good frozen or canned or fresh.I'd prefer the food to the capsule if its easy to eat.

CSCurcumin
The more I have read about curcumin over the years, the more impressed I have been. I write this apropos the glioblastoma one member's relative is suffering, because curcumin apparently transits the blood/brain barrier, given its documented role in preventing Alz. disease.Here's my message: Getting a daily dose of curcumin is very easy. Serve up some ordinary plain yogurt. Put in a teaspoon of turmeric powder, which is quite inexpensive in bulk at Costco. Stir it up. The taste is something like a very mild yellow hotdog mustard. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner; it could not be easier to do. JBB -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.

CSCurcumin Blocks Inflammation/Cancer Growth
Last Updated: Jun 15th, 2006 - 17:24:24 Melanoma Channel subscribe to Melanoma newsletter Latest Research : Cancer : Skin : Melanoma DISCUSS | EMAIL | PRINT Curcumin - Potent turmeric spice blocks growth of melanoma Jul 12, 2005, 13:13, Reviewed by: Dr. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties of curcumin derived from turmeric are undergoing intense research here and at other places worldwide, says one of the study's authors, Bharat B. Aggarwal, Ph.D., professor of cancer medicine in the Department of Experimental Therapeutics. By University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Curcumin, the pungent yellow spice found in both turmeric and curry powders, blocks a key biological pathway needed for development of melanoma and other cancers, say researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. The study, to be published in the August 15, 2005 issue of the journal Cancer, but available on line at 12:01 a.m. (EDT) on Monday, July 11, demonstrates how curcumin stops laboratory strains of melanoma from proliferating and pushes the cancer cells to commit suicide. It does this, researchers say, by shutting down nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB), a powerful protein known to promote an abnormal inflammatory response that leads to a variety of disorders, including arthritis and cancer. The study is the latest to suggest that curcumin has potent anticancer powers, say the researchers. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties of curcumin derived from turmeric are undergoing intense research here and at other places worldwide, says one of the study's authors, Bharat B. Aggarwal, Ph.D., professor of cancer medicine in the Department of Experimental Therapeutics. At M. D. Anderson, for example, dramatic results from laboratory studies have led to two ongoing Phase I human clinical trials, testing the ability of daily capsules of curcumin powder to retard growth of pancreatic cancer and multiple myeloma. Another Phase I trial is planned for patients with breast cancer, and given this news of curcumin's activity in melanoma, animal studies will soon begin, Aggarwal says. Ground from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, curcumin is a member of the ginger family. It has long been utilized in India and other Asian nations for multiple uses: as a food-preservative, a coloring agent, a folk medicine to cleanse the body, and as a spice to flavor food (two to five percent of turmeric is curcumin, for example). While researchers had thought curcumin primarily has anti-inflammatory properties, the growing realization that cancer can result from inflammation has spurred mounting interest in the spice as an anti-cancer agent, Aggarwal says. He adds that another fact has generated further excitement: The incidence of the top four cancers in the U.S. - colon, breast, prostate, and lung - is ten times lower in India, he says. This work is just the latest by M. D. Anderson researchers to show how curcumin can inhibit cancer growth. Curcumin affects virtually every tumor biomarker that we have tried, says Aggarwal. It works through a variety of mechanisms related to cancer development. We, and others, previously found that curcumin down regulates EGFR activity that mediates tumor cell proliferation, and VEGF that is involved in angiogenesis. Besides inhibiting NF-kB, curcumin was also found to suppress STAT3 pathway that is also involved in tumorigenesis. Both these pathways play a central role in cell survival and proliferation. He said that an ability to suppress numerous biological routes to cancer development is important if an agent is to be effective. Cells look at everything in a global way, and inhibiting just one pathway will not be effective, says Aggarwal. In this study, the researchers treated three different melanoma cell lines with curcumin and assessed the activity of NF-kB, as well the protein, known as IKK that switches NF-kB on. The spice kept both proteins from being activated, so worked to stop growth of the melanoma, and it also induced apoptosis, or programmed death, in the cells. Surprisingly, it didn't matter how much curcumin was used, says the researchers. The NF-kB machinery is suppressed by both short exposures to high concentrations of curcumin as well as by longer exposure to lower concentrations of curcumin, they say in their study. Given that other studies have shown curcumin is non-toxic, these results should be followed by a test of the spice in both animal models of melanoma and in human trials, they say. - August 15, 2005 issue of the journal Cancer __ Do You Yahoo!?
