A Curry spice that kills Cancer cells...{!}
An extract found in the bright yellow
curry spice 'Turmeric'
can kill off cancer cells...!
scientists have shown that the chemical 'Curcumin'
has long been thought to have healing powers and is already being tested
as a treatment for
Arthritis and even Dementia...!
Now tests by a team at the Cork Cancer Research Center show it can destroy gullet
cancer cells in the lab.
Cancer experts said the findings in the British Journal of Cancer could help doctors find new treatments.
Dr Sharon Mc Kenna and her team found that 'Curcumin' started to kill
cancer cells within 24 hours!
A Natural Remedy.
The cells also began to digest themselves, after the 'Curcumin' triggered lethal
cell death signals.
Dr. Mc Kenna said...
"Scientists have known for a long time that natural compounds have the potential to treat faulty cells that have become cancerous and we suspected that 'Curcumin' might have therapeutic value."
Ways to incorporate Turmeric in your diet
You can reap many health benefits from increasing your intake of 'Turmeric'. To help you on your road to better health, here are some
Turmeric Tea.
- To make this drink, just mix in a quarter teaspoon of ground or freshly grated turmeric to boiling water. Let it simmer for 10 minutes and strain before drinking. If you’re not into its taste,
- try adding some honey or fresh lemon juice for flavor.
- Seasoned roasted Veggies.
- Season fresh vegetables like potatoes, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts with olive oil, turmeric, and other seasonings. Roast this for a few minutes and enjoy.
- Golden milk.
- Golden milk comes from ancient Ayurvedic practitioners. You can easily make it by mixing turmeric paste, which is made from water and ground turmeric, with warm milk.
- Add half a teaspoon of coconut oil to your drink and you’re good to go.
Dr Lesley Walker, director of cancer information
at Cancer Research U.K.said...
"This is interesting research which opens up the possibility that natural chemicals found in Turmeric could be developed into new treatments for Esophageal Cancer.
"Rates of Esophageal cancer have gone up by more than a half since the 70s and this is thought to be linked to rising rates of obesity, alcohol intake and reflux disease so finding ways to prevent this disease is important too."
Each year around 7,800 people are diagnosed with
Esophageal cancer in the UK. It is the sixth most common
cause of cancer death and accounts for around five percent of all UK cancer deaths...!
This yellow spice gives curries
