Dallas news outlet covers curative capability of curcumin

While anyone who keeps up with this blog is probably well aware of the documented benefits of curcumin for brain health, cancer treatment, mood disorders and more, many Americans have yet to discover the curative capabilities of this compound. Recently, the the Dallas Morning News sought to remedy this lack of awareness by speaking with medical experts about the bioactive ingredient and its potential role in overall health and well-being.

“Doctors are not declaring curcumin a magic cure-all and say they have much to learn. But they are intrigued by its potential,” the source notes.

As we’ve covered on this blog, scientists including Dr. Ajay Goel, director of epigenetics and cancer prevention at Baylor Research Institute in Texas, have devoted considerable attention to the medicinal capabilities of this compound in the last few years. Dr. Goel has been focusing on the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant abilities of curcumin may be able to supplement current cancer treatments. He explained to the source that curcumin has also been tapped to address medical ailments as varied as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.

One benefit of curcumin that has fueled this expansive exploration is the fact that it is “multitargeted [so] it addresses several problems at once, rebalancing functions without turning any off. In this way, it improves everything without toxicity,” the news outlet states.

While many benefits of curcumin are still under investigation, Dr. Goel told the source that he and his family regularly take curcumin supplements – which is quite an endorsement from a medical point of view. Click here to read information about Nutrivene Longvida Curcumin
