Found this article in this newletter and thought it well worth passing along. I have started cucurmin, 1 cap 2 times a day as a regimen. Have read the report from MD Anderson and thought it significant.

Curcumin — A Really Effective Cancer Treatment ************************************************

“Imagine a natural substance so smart it can tell the difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell; so powerful it can stop chemicals in their tracks; and so strong it can enable DNA to walk away from lethal doses of radiation virtually unscathed. Curcumin has powers against cancer so beneficial that drug companies are rushing to make drug versions. Curcumin is all this and more.”

That quote from the July, 2002 issue of the Life Extension Foundation magazine should get your attention. What has happened in the 4 1/2 years since then? A lot.

Get a load of this quote from a study by M.D. Anderson in Texas in September, 2003: “Extensive research over the last 50 years has indicated [curcumin] can both prevent and treat cancer…Curcumin can suppress tumor initiation, promotion, and metastasis.”

Why isn’t this wonderful substance being used routinely in oncologist’s offices to treat cancer? Very good question. It occured to me again recently when I read a newsletter this week from Robert Redfern on this subject, which included this latest update:

“Dr. Bharat Aggarwal, who headed the 12-member team of researchers at University of Texas (U.T) M.D. Anderson Cancer Centre, said earlier this week that his clinical research has made available not only ‘the master switch to turn off cancer, but also a cure for it.’

‘It was already known that Curcumin can prevent cancer,’ Aggarwal said. ‘Now it can also be used to cure cancer.’ And, he added: ‘We are providing evidence that Curcumin can work on at least one dozen cancers.’

‘In fact, let’s put it this way: we have not found a single cancer on which Curcumin doesn’t work,’ Aggarwal asserted.”

This herb, which has been used for various healing purposes in Ayurvedic medicine for the last 5,000 years is finally getting the attention it deserves among cancer researchers. If you want the full story, including a reliable source and dosage information, you need to go to www.curcuminhealth.info There, you can listen to a talk by Robert Redfern and subscribe to his newsletter and “e-alerts.” I’m getting them and you should, too. Strongly recommended.
