Can you dredge up the amount of tumeric is needed in dealing with cancer in

adults? And, I understand that piperine is it's cofactor...... that's in black

pepper.... how much of that?

I saw something a couple of weeks ago that talked about the COX-2 inhibition

qualities of tumeric and aksi VIOXX and Celebrex and another drug and that

it's the COX-2 qualities that trigger the angiogenesis.

GInger also has significant COX-2 effect, by the way.

thanks,

Hi,

oranges provide vitamin C, bananas help remove radioactive particles

from the body and

Tumeric is a source of Curcummin.

Curcummin is mentioned in protocol 1 as an anti-angiogenises effector. This

means stopping the

proliferation of blood vessels, that is necessary for a tumor to expand and

grow.

The reference on Bananas removing radioactive particles from the body comes

from a friend

named Jim who worked at Hanford Nuclear facility for 40 years. Slight

Oranges, Bananas And Turmeric Prevent Leukaemia

By Shaoni Bhattacharya

NewScientist.com

9-10-4

Giving infants oranges and bananas regularly may halve their risk of

developing childhood

leukaemia, suggest the results of a new study. And a diet containing the

curry spice turmeric may

also be protective - accounting for the differences in childhood leukaemia

rates between east and

west - says a leading scientist.

Children who ate oranges, orange juice or bananas between four to six times a

week during their

first two years of life had a significantly reduced risk of developing the

cancer, revealed the

observational study by US researchers.

Previous studies on childhood leukaemias have not examined the effects of the

overall diet in this

way, focusing more on possible risk foods like cured meats.

" Our study is unique, and we have elucidated a significant protective

association with the

consumption of oranges, bananas and orange juice, " says Marilyn Kwan, an

epidemiologist at the

University of California, Berkeley.

However, she cautions that without carrying out a randomised controlled

trial, it is difficult to predict

exactly how protective eating these fruits may be, or to make firm public

health recommendations.

But she notes that in her study " there was a 50 per cent reduction in risk " .

The evidence for oranges and bananas, and turmeric in preventing leukaemia

was presented at

Children with Leukaemia's international leukaemia conference in London, UK,

on Thursday.

Luncheon meats

Kwan and colleagues studied 328 children under 15 who had developed leukaemia

and matched

controls. Questionnaires were given to each child's mother on the child's

eating habits between

birth and age two. Nine food groups

were discussed, including: hotdogs, hamburgers, vegetables, apples and

grapes, oranges and bananas, and carbonated drinks.

Two previous studies have found that eating cured meats like hotdogs or

luncheon meats increased the risk of brain tumours and, to a lesser extent,

leukaemia in children. However, the new study did not confirm this link.

Kwan believes that diet between birth and two could be crucial. " We think it

might be a critical window of exposure, " she told New Scientist. " There are a

lot of developmental processes occurring during that time. "

Oranges and bananas may protect against childhood leukaemia because they are

a rich source of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant. They could act by

reducing oxidative DNA damage, and so stop the initiation of cancerous pr

ocesses.

Bananas are also rich in potassium. Animal studies have indicated that

potassium stabilises DNA and can reduce rates of mutation.

Baby food

Turmeric may also protect against childhood leukaemia, suggests Moolky

Nagabhushan, a cancer research scientist at Loyola University Medical Centre in

Chicago, US. He and colleagues in India have shown protective effects

of the yellow spice's main active component - curcumin - in a long-running

series of studies. And curcumin is now undergoing initial safety testing in

humans.

Childhood leukaemia rates are much lower in Asia than in western countries -

and this could be due to differences in diet. The cancer is the most common

childhood cancer in the west, afflicting at least one child in every

100,000. But in India, if affects only 1 child in 1,000,000. The consumption

of turmeric is high in India - some estimates suggest each adult eats an

average of 3 to 5 grams a day.

Nagabhushan's work has shown that curcumin and other turmeric extracts can

block the mutagenic effects of cancer-causing agents called polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons from smoke emissions. In animal studies, it inhibited

the formation of stomach and skin tumours. And curcumin can also mop up

cellular molecules involved in tumour development.

Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant he says. " They put so many antioxidants in

food - but instead of

artificial antioxidants, they could use this, " he told New Scientist. He

suggests it could even be

used in baby foods after strict safety testing.

Kwan's work has been accepted for publication in the November issue of the

American Journal of

Epidemiology.

I take Ginger for osteoarthritis and the more I consume the better I feel.

It settles my stomach while Celebrex and the other similiar drugs rip it up.

The drugs that are pushed by drug companies for arthritic pain and now cancer

are very dangerous. Best to stick with ginger and chinese herbs.

Celebrex DOES rip up the stomach. Talk to some people who have had that

effect. The drug companies would have you believe it is different, but that is

their spin in order to sell it.

Hi,

if you read protocol 1, you will see it says 2gm Curcummin daily. Since

Curcummin is 1% of

Tumeric, that would mean 2kg of Tumeric a day. personally i would rather take

2gm curcummin a

day with piperine added, than 2,000gm of Tumeric a day. Piperine is for

bioavailability.

Celebrex does not rip up the stomach, but things like it do.
