There is a new infomercial on a product called Procera. Does anybody know about this and how it works? Just another pharma gimmick?

I order fresh turmeric root from indianblend.com...My internist is indian and told me she makes a tea, combining grated turmeric root with grated ginger root and boils it.Then adds milk and honey. I found it to be pleasent tasting and a bit sedative so I make it before bedtime. You can also use lemon instead of milk, but I found that gave me heartburn.

I've read that turmeric has wonderful healing properties...here is a concoction that I put together. I take a teaspoonful of this every day for the inflammation in my knees, neck and back.

9 parts turmeric

2 parts black pepper or cayenne

2 parts ginger

coconut oil and/or olive oil

Add enough honey to make a stiff paste

Chase down the teaspoonful with water.

This is also apparently good for allergies, coughs, supports liver and detoxifies, purifies blood, chelates lead, strengthens digestion, great for the cells.

Acts as an antioxidant, anticancer, antibiotic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory

It seems to help me, so give it a try...

I found this comment following a Mercola article on Curcumin in 2006: blogs.mercola.com/.../Curry-Chemical-Destroys-the-Plaques-Associated-With-Alzheimers.aspx

“Curcumin is in turmeric, and Asian Indians eat turmeric not curcumin. Indian grocery stores have large bags or containers of turmeric. The most potent (best) smelling comes home with me. Consider no more than 1/2 tsp per day or every other day, because it is being researched in India as method of population control, because it causes sterility in rats. Because I have to fly through Mercola Vital Votes, I don't take time to dig up all the references, but I know I can find this one if you want. I was married to an Asian Indian girl for 17 years, so I have a feel for what a dietary intake might be. Even those who eat it only occasionally (once a week?) got most the benefit in a prospective study.”

You can buy Turmeric for $5.20 per pound here: www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/.../merchant.mvc

I buy and share with neighbors; next time I plan to order 2 #, since it keeps very well in its ziplock bag.

Russell Blaylock MD, in Blaylock Wellness Reports, recommends the use of Curcumin in practically every issue. He recommends taking Curcumin out of the capsules and mixing with oil to enhance absorption; he also suggests adding the antioxidant Quercetin to this. I prefer to get my supplements from whole foods, so I mix Turmeric with oil, and get my Quercetin from red onions, lightly sauteed, 2 or 3 times a week!

Turmeric has been a popular spice in my life since I began using it to decrease the pain when I had breast cancer. It is a beautiful die for fabric I found out accidentally while filling capsules and goes great with hard boiled eggs, in my dips for chips, and in soups and salads, as well as rice. I do not cook it nor have I ever used black pepper with it. It has worked for me, I can tell you, but I will try black pepper anyway!!

You know the plant kingdom holds many solutions to our illnesses, and the monumental destruction of the plant kingdom should alarm us all.

Dr. M,

One thing I would like to see more of are medical monographs and studies from foreign countries on the efficacy of natural substances such as turmeric. Seems Germany and Sweden have very open medical practitioners, especially when looking at the comparatively closed mind medical thugs running the asylums here.

I have been taking the New Chapter Turmeric liqui-caps for about three years, and it is a staple in my herbal/adaptagen supplementation. Past 50, nothing breaks, avoid doctors. I practice most of your ten tips. Recently, have added in a tremendous amount of tart cherries, in juice, whole, frozen and dried forms. My brutal cycling routines in the summer were giving a trace of arthritic type pain in my hip joints (100+ miles per day, steep climbs), and the cherries seem to have made the problem go away.

I take ginger to aid absorption of reishi, cordyceps and rhodiloa...does it also aid turmeric?

Does your turmeric on the shelf lose it's effectiveness as some other spices do or is it good for longer periods of time?

What is the best way to supplement with curcumin itself or taking Turmeric?

I would like to ask anyone out there about information that I could use to help my mother. She has Trigeminal Neualgia, very painful face pain I believe she got 20 years ago the day after a dentist appointment. Although he said it has nothing to do with him or anything he did. I think a nerve was damaged somehow. The medication is harsh, and yet I haven't been able to find anything to help her naturally. Then in Oct she got shingles. I got her things to try, the shingles are now gone but residule pain across her stomach, another nerve damage thing is still very painful for her. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking I could try Tumeric caps for her because her memory is starting to go, but in a way that I think is related to the medications she is on. I already have been able to work with her doctor to eliminate 6 other meds she was taking. Would like to do more. 6 more to go.

I took my tuna salad sandwich to a whole new level when I added curry & tumeric plus some raisins and nuts of choice. Extraordinary treat. An Indian healer told me years ago that tumeric should be my herb/spice of choice. Thanks for the reminder.

I take turmeric daily and add cumin to almost anything: chicken, rice, salsa, vegetables, salad dressing. I also try and eat curry at least once a week. I was on a cruise recently and was able to eat some type of curry side dish almost every day. Not only is it delicious it is usually full of vegetables and can be fairly healthy if you don't eat much of the rice. At this point in my life I'll take all the help I can get!
