Guest guest Posted December 3, 2001 Report Share Posted December 3, 2001 Les, Powdered tumeric is the root. Can add tumeric to spice mixture like curry. Otherwise I use it in the standardized extract capsules. It's the best way to get a good dose and I use it for inflamatory times. Takes care of the pain easily.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Vegetable Curry Although the ingredient list for this dish may look daunting, most of it is made up of the spices used to flavor the curry sauce. The seasonings are actually included in most commercial curry powders, so if you are pressed for time or lack some of the individual spices on hand, you can make this dish with 2 to 3 teaspoons of mild store-bought curry powder. 2-3/4 cups water 1 cup brown rice 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large onion, coarsely chopped 1 tablespoon minced ginger 3 garlic cloves, minced 3/4 teaspoon cumin 3/4 teaspoon turmeric 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks 3 cups cauliflower florets 2 large carrots, thinly sliced 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced 2 cans (8 ounces each) no-salt-added tomato sauce 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt (optional) 1. In large pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add brown rice, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 40 to 45 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, in large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, ginger and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 7 minutes. 3. Stir in cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, coriander, fennel seeds and salt, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in sweet potatoes, cauliflower and remaining 3/4 cup water, cover and cook until cauliflower and sweet potatoes are almost tender, about 10 minutes. 4. Add carrots, zucchini and tomato sauce, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in peanut butter until smooth. 5. Spoon vegetables over rice, dollop with yogurt (if using) and serve.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hi, Had to do a search to find the word back, here we call in curcuma (longa), apparently in the English language that word is reserved for another variety of this plant family. Tumeric. Several people on this board use it. Some manage to get the fresh roots. Have been lucky enough to have a farmer in the area that is bringing me kilos of it now! When i have it in my system i am symptom free ie cell-phones do not bother me at all anymore, even in the city. (use it like the yogies in anus and vagina, also eat it, plan to add it to creams and dye my hair with it as well, and boil it so i can drink the curcumine) Another thing is that i had a little spot of black on my arm (actually since the time the whole thing came down on me 2 1/2 years ago). Always tried all kinda herbs on it and poking it out, kept coming back. It grew real slow. Was about to have it cut out or tested, then i tried some of the root on it with a bandaid and it immediately disppeared. It threathened to come back and i repeated the bandaid with curcuma and now the spot has cleared. (in just a few days). No way of telling if it was, curcuma does stop the blood from making the kinda cells cancer feeds on, it also is a powerful anti-oxidant and has another benefit that does not come to mind now. Feel having it in my system like this is the perfect solution and defenitely recommend it. It allows my sustem to take from it whatver and whenevr needed.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Been having trouble posting lately. Tried twice a couple days ago to reply to the survey questions. Let us know what the turmeric/curcumin does for your hair color, and if you're blonde or brunette to start with? It might add some nice highlights for some of us! Besides being anti-cancer, turmeric is an antinflammatory. It helps your bodies cortizone receptors receive the cortizone better. Why it's so helpful for arthritis and joints. I wonder if that has something to do with helping the emf symptoms? Yucca root by the way, contains natural cortizone, for anyone that might be looking for a harmless way to help in that area. It also is helpful for dissolving gallstones, and strengthens the capillary walls. I take a tsp. or two a day if joints or allergies are bothering. Maybe not often enough to know if would help emf symptoms. That's interesting about that spot Perla, I think I might give it a try on spot or two I have. Not quite the same, but would like gone.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hi Snow, Yeah gonna be an interesting colouring one of these days. Gonna do it with Red henna, curcuma (boiled i figure) and see if i can get some saffran for specks, plan to put a little lemon or vinagre in it, no decision there yet. Well Im brunette and any henna treatments have always hardly been noticeable. the reason I want it on my head is for the antioxidant working.( Use a greentea shampoo and conditioner from Bioland, and that one always perks me right up, says it combats free radicals, and we dont like those!!) Well if it does work this time i will as always carry any embarrassment with a smile/ (heck it is all an illusion anyway is sometimes taken too far by me maybe) do feel it will be gorgeous... Oh had a kinda bump since a fall above my knee. Always was bigger when i felt worse, and that too seems to be taken away with tumeric-patch-method (had been shrinking already though) Oh by that time i seem to have all the ingredients for kunkuma, the stuff of the red dot on forehead, and i might just experiment a little there as well (saffron tumeric, clay and some lime-vaseline will do just fine i figure) Love and Light Christ will love you free snoshoe_2 <nonengbunny@...> wrote: Been having trouble posting lately.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I wasn't clear there. It's the turmeric that helps dissolve gallstones. Both turmeric and yucca together are useful for hayfever and arthritis by the way. > > It also is helpful for dissolving gallstones, and strengthens the > capillary walls.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 When I taught students from India, they told me that tumeric inhibits the growth of cancer too. They eat a lot of it, as anyone who has eaten Indian food can testify. ellen > > > > Hi Butch, sorry to read you are in such pain from joint inflammation, > > among other things. > > > > Maybe someone has already responded to you, because I just saw your > post. > > > > If you search the archives, people have mentioned many things for > > inflammation and joint pain - > > tumeric, teasel, stephania root, > > I use SAM-e for that. > > > > Someone has recommended Devils' Claw.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 > > Bee, > > Do you have any information on tumeric? > > I have heard of its anti inflamatory properities. ==>Hi Sue. I haven't looked into it but it is good. Don't overload yourself taking anti-inflammatories; you can overwhelm your body trying to give it too much. More is not better. You'll do better just sticking to recommendations on this program. Your body needs time to adjust, heal and get stronger before you'll see improvements. It also needs to be according to what your body decides is best too. You can't push it - it will just make your body go into apathy OR it will kick back with symptoms that are hard to handle.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Heidi, How much turmeric do you take. I have started adding tons of organic regular spice isle turmeric on top of food. It is not very good. I even mixed turmeric butter one day, that was not too bad. I figured I am already swallowing too many pills (Japanese knotweed, cats claw, white willow bark. aspirin, gingko biloba, sarsaparilla, and multivitamins) and I do not even know if any of them are working. I think a lot of turmeric would make you sick to your stomach, that is why I am asking how much you are taking.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Dear Dagmar: I take 900mg of Turmeric twice a day. I started with 450mg twice a day and herxed some, so I waited a few weeks before going to 900mg. twice a day. I take it with Ginger Root because my yeast was starting to over-grow (long-standing battle for me), and I take it with digestive enzymes and milk thistle. I really think digestive enzymes are important to help with the pathogen-coatings. I take 550mg Ginger Root twice a day, and have been for a year with no side affects. This has really worked for me, but I am now looking into a detox plan in addition. From: Dagmar: " How much turmeric do you take.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 That is about the amount I am using I think. As for the ginger, I love candied ginger. Our local Wegmans grocery store has dark chocolate covered candied ginger in the organic bulk section. Yummy. I hope it is not too denatured in this form, it tastes a lot better than pills though.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Ounce for ounce, few spices can compete with the health-promoting effects of tumeric. Commonly used in curry sauces in South Asian cuisine, this golden yellow spice is showing up with increasing frequency in medical journals all over the world as researchers identify the many health attributes of tumeric. Recent Findings Curcumin, the active component of tumeric, may help the immune system eliminate protein that is suspected of accumulating to form damaging plaques in the brains of people who develop Alzheimer's disease. Only 1 percent of the elderly in India develop Alzheimer's disease - this is one-quarter the rate of Alzheimer's development in North America. This difference is thought to be due in part to regular consumption of curry in India. Daily intake of curcumin may decrease the risk of developing polyps in the colon, which in turn, decreases the risk of developing colorectal cancer. Regular consumption of tumeric may help to ease pain and inflammation that accompanies arthritis. Curcumin may be helpful in the treatment of some cases of cystic fibrosis. Curcumin can help to effectively treat skin cancer cells. Tumeric may help to prevent the spread of breast cancer cells. The medicinal properties of tumeric are so significant that the National Institutes of Health is currently conducting clinical trials to determine if tumeric (curcumin) should be a part of conventional treatment recommendations for Alzheimer's disease, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and multiple myeloma. If you would like to add tumeric to your diet via curry powders and sauces, be sure that tumeric appears on the list of ingredients. Many curry powders, sauces, and recipes use cumin, which is not to be confused with curcumin or tumeric. The health-promoting effects listed in this article are attributable to curcumin found in the spice tumeric. In addition to being a main ingredient of authentic curry powders and sauces, tumeric is also abundant in prepared mustards. When purchasing mustard, choose one that lists tumeric close to the beginning on its list of ingredients. Suzi List Owner health/ http://360./suziesgoats What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I think it's actually tuRmeric. My husband has been taking a turmeric supplement for about six months for his psoriasis and all it has done is make his stomach feel like raw meat. He's discontinued taking it in the last couple of weeks and feels much better. His psoriasis has remained the same as the last 20 years.
