I read t'other day that in order for the body to utilise curcumin in turmeric, the turmeric should be taken with oil (I'd recommend organic coconut oil) and black pepper. Also read that milk proteins make antioxidants far less active, so good to eat dairy products separately from antioxidant foods.... all this time I've eaten my blueberries along with yoghurt, or had soured cream dips with my veggies ... who knew?

Do away with the dairy foods completely and you'll be getting an even greater number of benefits!

Needs To be consumed with Black Pepper For Maximum Efficiency

& Oil...to be absorbed by the intestines!

Interestingly all the ingredients to good health are in the curry's and have been for millenia !

Coconut oil, black pepper, turmeric, ginger, cloves, cumin, cinnamon, cardomom, cilantro and chilis. Not exactly new age anything now is it ? No doubt our food is our medicine.

I eat dairy and meats regularly, and some wheat products, like pasta and breads that are home made only. I am exceptionally healthy for 70, very strong with massive endurance and a very strong immune system. Most Americans do not realize there is a definite ratio between their physical output and their over all health and well being. No wonder with 73+ % over weight or obese ? This is just as important as all the other components to overall good health and well being. Very few people fully grasp how to be healthy and it is quite easily accomplished with little effort. It is all about how we think and then act on it in our daily life. It is about balance in all things and fully realizing body, mind, spirit, soul are all 100% interconnected That is knowledge !

I did not fully grasp any of these things completely until I was about 50 and then I realized just how foolish I had lived and how ignorant I was ! I am now actually healthier and stronger than I was in RVN in 68-69 so I imagine I am doing something quite right ? and yes I pass it on to others daily.

This deserves further study.

Natural remedies are very powerful. I was infected with staph in hospital. Most likely MRSA because they couldn't cure it & discharged me after they destroyed my bowels with toxic antibiotics. I was covered with boils, had a third testicle, (tumor) Going downhill steadily. I decided to self medicate since everything offerred by doctors had horrible side affects. After some research I formulated a soup containing a (head) of freshly sliced garlic, a heaping tsp. of turmeric, a heaping teaspoon of chopped oregano, placed in a bowl and added hot soup, various kinds, 1 bowl a day. After a few days the boils were drying up, my third testicle disappeared after a couple of weeks. I wish I had I known about black pepper enhancing turmeric. It took over a year to undo the damage to my bowels from the antibiotics but I've regained control and normal function. When I hear the medical industry proclaim, "THERE ISN'T A CURE!", I know now that it means they can't patent some toxic crap to treat the symptoms so look to natural meds for the cure!

I tried to share with you a view , yet I was tagged as spam ???? why?????

I think you'll be able to read it under my profile,

It is all about control mechanisms and power over the masses, simple as that ! I am always a bit astonished at how slow Americans are to grasp such obvious concepts and reality ? They willingly believe the many illusions created for them like a herd of Wildebeast jumping off the cliff into the crocodiles, because the other guys did ?

If I juice the turmeric do I have to mix it with any other yhing

Follow the protocol. Turmeric in any form still has the problem of bioavailability. Studies show that ´the piperine in black pepper and a little oil/fat is necessary to boost its bioavailability. And raw isn't necessarily better. Cooking with fresh turmeric enhances it bioavailabilty also. Powdered turmeric has been cooked, then dried before grinding.

What about turmeric in a pill?

Does cow urine contain curcumin? Please reply.

No... Circumin is found in Turmeric(1-2%)... That is why the reliance on Circumin Extract for convenient consumption.

I applied turmeric to my skin cancer and after two applications it successfully stopped the irritating itch and spread. I have a mild form of skin cancer called basil cell (spell check). I mixed one cup olive oil with a few tablespoons of turmeric powder. I paint my exposed areas of the skin and let penetrate for 30 minutes and shower off. I also fill gel caps with turmeric powder and consume 4 to 6 capsules after breakfast. Avoiding dairy products as Hayley posted is wise. I drink water or tea mixed with at least 2 tablespoons of turmeric powder. No side effects whatsoever. Avoid contact with clothing, especially bed sheets.

You must take curcumin extract with any fat or with black pepper

Any Fat (Oil) and Black Pepper!

Plus Ginger (Gingerol)... Add Green Tea (made with Ginger) + Any Fat (Ghee , Coconut Oil, Fish Oil etc. ) + Pepper(Piperine)+ Turmeric.... Take care to use Organic Turmeric!...
