Well in 1960 they died around 40, now they live til 68. I think they had turmeric in the 60’s.
LOL It was read twice here as well. Dem bones, Dem bones, Dem brittle bones.
Obviously they meant “dome density.”
DH does the same for the same reason but he mixes it in some applesauce.
2. In a Petri dish, turmeric kills prostate cancer cell culture
Along with your appetite.
“I think they had turmeric in the 60’s.”
Logical fallacy.
There are many causes for death. The life expectancy is an aggregate, from childhood deaths to accidental deaths to deaths due to diseases. It is a proven fact that turmeric eases inflammation and also kills cancer cells. But it does not reduce deaths during childbirth and it does not prevent accidental deaths.
My doc says that to derive any benefit from turmeric, I must eat massive amounts, as most never gets into the system, and there is only a tiny amount of the active ingredient in it.
I have read that there are no recorded instances of turmeric overdose, ever.
Circumin pills: relatively expensive.
Raw Turmeric: not expensive at all.
I have given up on making it palatable. Now I see it as a test of my mettle and discipline. I ever make it through an entire glass - too yucky!
But then again, I am ingesting massive amounts.
Good call out on the Logical fallacy.
Turmeric is oil soluble but not water soluble — mix it with milk instead and add some black pepper in order to make it more effective. Browse YouTube for turmeric and get more complete info.
Eat some Thai curries as well as Indian curries.
Thank you for sharing. I have taken turmeric off and on as it’s supposed to lower blood pressure, mine seems to increase whenever I’m taking it. I take meds for high blood pressure because no “natural “ cure (turmeric, magnesium, hawthorn, olive leaf, etc) worked. Some made it worse.
I have an autoimmune disease that is in remission-was tested Monday so I’ll see if it still is in remission- so perhaps that’s why the natural route doesn’t work for me?
Health food stores have tumeric in capsule form. I have been taking them for several months.
For those who want a capsule, here is where to get a super duper one, mixed with the *right* kind of additions.
[It has been on my mind to order from here for a long time but just yesterday I finally did order a bottle. Not cheap. But I don’t want something cheap, actually. Nice site. Christian Wilde, medical investigator, esp heart things.
It links up right quick. Right now is a promo on the 1st page.
Lucky not hurt hand ;)
My Done is already pretty dense... so is my head!
My ten year old intact labradoodle had an enlarged prostate. Month into daily turmeric added to his food and problem receding. Plus, he is moving more actively. I’m a believer. Now I am adding it to my daily diet... I am an old intact male, too.
The reason i am passionate about this is because I’ve known folks, as well as myself, who spent tons of money chasing one alleged cure or treatment after another and who in the end may have ended up hurting themselves in the process-
I know when people are hurting, not feeling well, they get desperate- I’ve been there myself- and it’s hard not to fall for the hype or claims made of one supplement or another- and it really bothered me that unscrupulous producers of vitamins, minerals, herbs etc would take advantage of the desperation that people have like that-
I’m not against all natural products- for sure there are3 some legit claims out there- but for folks with autoimmune problems, even things like heart disease, cancers etc- they really really need to research a particular herbal product or vitamin product or whatever, and see if there are any serious side effects that could happen- like many docs say- just because something is ‘natural’ doesn’t mean it’s safe for everyone
Some popular herbs for various conditions like anxiety, nervousness, low energy etc can have serious side effects in certain people=- Other ‘natural’ products really whack hormone levels and can cause all kinds of ill effects-
If you have high blood pressure, you need to be very careful of certain herbs- they can raise blood pressure to dangerous levels- Yuo have autoimmune problem too- so you need to really be careful because you don’t want ot cause more inflammation- more so than other folks-
I always research key phrases when looking into new herbs or minerals- such as say “Hawthorn berries and autoimmune diseases’, or ‘watermelon seed extract and diverticulitis’ etc- and always try to read the medical sites along with herbal sites as herbal sites often don’t mention problems that could be associated with an herb- medical sites do clinical trials and such and are more apt to warn about possible problems
It usually takes a few hours of research, but after possibly harming myself in the past- I now take the time to do as thorough a research as possible- if I’m not comfortable in the least- I’ll pass on the herb-
Magnesium is a pretty good mineral- pretty safe- and will likely be the most help- olive leaf I believe is a form of antibiotic/antibacterial- so be careful with that one- not sure the jury is out on whether it destroy healthy bacteria or not- coudl also interfere with antibiotics- Hawthorn is for heart and circulation, and be godo for high blood pressure- but it can itneract with certain meds- here’s a site with a list:

I make up capsules using gel caps and a little filling machine that fills 24 at a time. If you take it with black pepper, it makes it much more available, so you have to take much less for the same results.
Again, thanks. Hawthorn Berry raised my resting heart rate significantly and It dropped when I stopped taking it.
I’ve spent a great deal of money on supplements, herbs and essential oils. Some things are effective: lemon essential oil in a diffuser cured cold systems overnight; pau de arco lotion cleared up impetigo on my son.
Between my son’s asthma and my autoimmune disease I have learned to be cautious with advice regarding natural treatments.
