invasive\u2026and you are supposed to follow the least invasive path to taking care of ailments.\u00a0 <strong><u>Curcumin<\/u><\/strong> is the focus of this article.\u00a0 It will help with heart disease, with Alzheimer\u2019s, with joint pain, with diabetes.\u00a0 What I\u2019ve listed there is far from exhaustive.<\/center>Let\u2019s clear up the confusion about it first.\u00a0 Curcumin is not an herb but is a component of one: <strong>Turmeric<\/strong>, or <strong><em>Curcuma longa<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 The herb\u2019s root forms into a rhizome, an \u201cL\u201d shaped underground protuberance.\u00a0 The spice Turmeric usually contains only a small amount of curcumin: anywhere from 2-5%, which is not much and is not necessarily bioavailable.\u00a0 This latter term refers to the ability of the body to utilize it.<\/p>\n<p>Curcumin has been used in India and the Far East for thousands of years quite effectively against dozens\u2026I repeat, dozens\u2026of different ailments, from Crohn\u2019s disease to Cancer.\u00a0 <strong>Curcumin is<\/strong> <strong>an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory, and it is a cancer-fighter.\u00a0 <\/strong>In previous articles, we covered <strong>oxidation<\/strong> (the tendency of a \u201cfree radical\u201d to \u201csteal\u201d an electron from a healthy cell) and how it is a process of aging and disease.<\/p>\n<p>The yellow color of curcumin is responsible for the orange color of turmeric.\u00a0 <strong>It is more than 200 times more powerful than blueberries as an antioxidant.\u00a0 <\/strong>It increases HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) in your system\u2026the \u201cgood\u201d cholesterol\u2026that helps move fats and lipids out of cells and prevents blood clotting in the arteries and veins.<\/p>\n<p>Its anti-inflammatory properties are extremely useful in helping digestive disorders.\u00a0 More than 60 million Americans are afflicted each year with some type of bowel disorder, and curcumin is extremely effective against all of them, from ulcerative colitis to cancer of the colon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the
