UCLA Curcumin Alzheimer's Breakthrough?

[Guest guest]

This is very interesting. I was just wondering what form of

" unformulated curcumin " he is talking about. I would presume it

would be just trmeric powder but maybe I should also call or email

him to find out for sure. I was also thinking of fresh turmeric root

or even the turmeric juice may have different effects. One Ayurvedic

way of preparing turmeric that reportedly makes it more digestable is

to cook it for at least 8 minutes. I hope it works for your mom.

Keep us posted.

 

Thanks

this morning (Blake Ebersole, bebersole) and he said it was found

to clear amyloid from Alzheimer's models better than anything they

have tested including unformulated curcumin, and is currently being

used in several studies including cancer and Alzheimer's. It is

available for sale if you contact them directly, however he said its

not found on the shelves yet.

brain.
