Brain Diseases - Curcumin Fights it

How I use curcumim: I ad about 3% black pepper to the curcumin and it is said to become 4000 times more absorbable. I do one to two teaspoons with black pepper per day.   

Scientists used to think, that people who use medications’, like these anti-inflammatories

•  aspirin  
• non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as naproxen
• indomethacin 
• ibuprofen

 were significantly less likely to develop Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease effects and some still due.   These are man made drugs with dangerous side effects and the big Pharma is not going to tell you how dangerous the long term use is.  They have done studies that show these drugs reduce dementia.  Probably done or commissioned by big pharma. Don't know.

BUT,

(One  study, published in the journal Neurology, found that elderly individuals who took NSAIDs are more likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer's disease. -  http://www.healthcommunities.com/alzheimers-disease/nsaids-and-alzheimers-risk_jhmwp.shtml#sthash.hkBYuiTD.dpuf )

It has been discovered that some anti-inflammatories, such as corticosteroids, actually increased people’s risk for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s in people. 

(Corticosteroids are medications commonly used by people with asthma.)

 Curcumin a natural substance in Turmeric can reduce the risk of these degenerative brain diseases, while conventional treatments still offer little hope.

 Drugs have been developed for these conditions with side effects

• extremely toxic 
• many complications, yet 
• offer little benefit for the condition 

Curcumin - A natural compounds   combats Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s  

• Animal studies have be done.
•  curcumin addresses the cause of the problem of neurodegenerative brain diseases. 
• reduces amyloid by eight different mechanisms
• dramatically reduces the amount of this toxic substance in the brains of animal with Alzheimer’s disease. 

 Studies have shown that curcumin does things no other known substance can do:

•  Reduces the formation of any amyloid in the brain
• Reduces the formation of amyloid plaque 
• Dissolves amyloid plaque once it has formed
• Curcumin can do these things in very low concentrations 
• Results are attainable by oral supplementation
• It also significantly reduces its toxicity - Doubling its benefits against Alzheimer’s disease  
• It does this in very small concentrations. 
• Ad about 3% black pepper to the curcumin and it becomes 4000 times more absorbable
• Curcumin easily enters the brain, so its benefits are immediate.
• ( I also talked to a gentleman in the store the other day and he said a tablespoon at night reduces the pain in his heals.  My daughter tried it and it work for her.)

Notes:

• Inexpensive way to buy, is to buy the herb, powered or the root and grind it up yourself
• The fresher the tumeric the more nutrients are retained
• Mix it in a little milk or juice is not the best, but it works for me.
• The best would probably be a smoothty.
• better than medicine

Deffinition of Amyloid plaques: Amyloid plaques are sticky buildup which accumulates outside nerve cells, or neurons. Amyloid is a protein that is normally found throughout the body. For reasons as yet unknown, in AD, the protein divides improperly, creating a form called beta amyloid which is toxic to neurons in the brain.

 One  study, published in the journal Neurology, found that elderly individuals who took NSAIDs are more likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer's disease. -  http://www.healthcommunities.com/alzheimers-disease/nsaids-and-alzheimers-risk_jhmwp.shtml#sthash.hkBYuiTD.dpuf

Until more research is done, doctors advise against taking NSAIDs to prevent Alzheimer's and demetia disease.  The   drugs can have  serious side effects in high doses and/or when used long term. -  http://www.healthcommunities.com/alzheimers-disease/nsaids-and-alzheimers-risk_jhmwp.shtml#sthash.hkBYuiTD.dpuf
