Tumeric

I was listening to the John Tesh radio show and I heard about this spice that is supposed to help with a lot of disease prevention.

At the end of this post is a link to an article about it but I've included some of the points below.

"The medicinal properties of this spice have been slowly revealing themselves over the centuries. Long known for its anti-inflammatory properties, recent research has revealed that turmeric is a natural wonder, proving beneficial in the treatment of many different health conditions from cancer to Alzheimer's disease."

• It is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent, useful in disinfecting cuts and burns.
• May prevent melanoma and cause existing melanoma cells to commit suicide.
• Is a natural liver detoxifier.
• May prevent and slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease by removing amyloyd plaque buildup in the brain.
• It is a potent natural anti-inflammatory that works as well as many anti-inflammatory drugs but without the side effects.
