Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 >How do you use tumeric and how much. Is it dissolved in water? Tell us how to use it for the >benefits. Sonja The spice is used in food for flavoring. I do not care for the taste. You can purchase it in bulk at Indian and most health food groceries. A study in India proved that when taken with black pepper greatly increased it's bioavailability due to the peperine in the pepper. Personally I take a rounded teaspoon full daily after a meal and wash it down as fast as possible. I think its benefits far outweigh the taste. I have read that some people mix it with coconut milk to get it down. Some people detest the taste so much that they put it in capsules and mix the black pepper in with the capsule with about a three to one ratio of turmeric to pepper. But to get enough you would have to take at least six of them to get a teaspoon full. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 What I heard is that turmeric is not water soluble. It is fat soluble though. So one could use this when sauteing in oil. Another common way is boiling it in milk. google golden milk and turmeric. I think substituting milk with coconut milk is good also.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Two things that are particularly good for alzheimer's and mental acuity are Niacinamide and Turmeric. 250 mg of Niacinamide every three hours will turn Alzheimer's around according to Dr. David William's recent newsletter. Turmeric is good for general health and helps with acuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I am from India, and live in Kerala, the south most part of India. Kerala state supplies spices to almost all parts of the world. Our food here consists high in spices. In my garden I have black pepper(When the outer cover is removed and dried it becomes white pepper) and, different types of chilies (you call it pepper), vanilla, cocoa, and different types of herbs. Even after taking all sorts of herbs, we have the highest occurrence of diabetes and cancer of all types. Our state is the home of Ayurvedic Hospitals! But there are many wonders happening. I had a bus travel with a dentist. He told me that his sister had no children for 15 years after marriage. They tried all types of allopathic medicines with zero result. Somebody told them about an old man who had his own traditional village medicine. He gave it to her and More than one child was born to her. An year ago I visited one of the plant nurseries here. The owner of the nursery was a retired professor of Agricultural University. He told me an interesting thing. One man whom he knew had no children for a long period of time after marriage. He was working in the Arabian Gulf and one day he had been watching the film " SPANISH FLY " in the TV. In it a man has been sitting lazy in front of a cup of black coffee when a Spanish fly fell in his coffee cup. This man had no children after many years of married life. Lazily he drank the coffee,without removing the insect from the coffee. For several days this has been repeating. And finally a child was born to him. This is the story of the film. This Gulf man immediately contacted the Professor and and he did a research on the subject. Then he caught a lot of a kind of bugs which are similar to the Spanish Fly in the film. This type of bugs are a pest to the Red Gram which is grown in India. He made a tincture of of it and send to the Gulf man. Amazingly the gulf man got children after this. I have collected a lot of alternate medicine knowledge from tribal people in India, mostly in and around Kerala. There are very good herbal medicines for Kidney Stones, Jaundice, Gall bladder stones etc. For boils (abscess) here is a sure tip.: Take a Duck Egg.(Chicken and other eggs are of no use) . Hard boil it one evening. Slightly smash the shell(do not remove it). Put it in concentrated sea salt solution. Do not use purified salt. Early in the next morning eat it after removing the shell in empty stomach. You will never get abscess in your life again.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I take 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder which would give me 500mg of curcumin. I take it three times a day. Turmeric is oil soluble so must be taken with oil in your tummy and for better absorption, add a pinch of black pepper. Melly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
