Christian Wilde discussed how turmeric has been shown to offer benefit to some 600 different health conditions, including Alzheimer's, depression, diabetes and MS. One of the most remarkable things about the spice is that it doesn't have side effects, he noted. Turmeric functions as an antioxidant, but also has antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties, he detailed. Further, it can neutralize toxicity, and has been used in integrative medicine approaches for cancer, making the effects of chemotherapy less harmful. Turmeric has the ability to shut off the blood flow to tumors, and may reduce the spread of cancer, he continued. In China, turmeric has been used for nearly 5,000 years to treat depression, he cited, and works by mediating various neurotransmitters. Turmeric has a slight blood thinning effect so people on drugs such as Warfarin should check with their doctors before using, he cautioned. In order to monetize the beneficial qualities of turmeric, pharmaceutical companies are scrambling to synthesize the spice into a drug, Wilde reported.
