Re: Health benefits of flax, ginger, grape seeds, pomegrante and tumeric, repost

Hey, I invited you to sing with me and you did not come.

Yes, I have a patient who has emphysema and he wanted to take ginger and tumeric with his doctor prescribed meds and I found tons of documentation not to take the two together.

Now the things you can take with pharmaceuticals is olive leaf and grape seeds.

I did see you are running a thread on tumeric. I take tumeric every single day but I do not take pharms and hopefully the majority of people on curezone do not take either.

Do a google search on dangers of tumeric and saids and you will see what I mean.

How to Maximize Your Turmeric Benefits through Turmeric Supplements

Tips on Choosing a Quality Turmeric Supplement

1. Choose a supplement using only standardized extracts of at least 95% curcumin or greater.

2. Curcumin is not well absorbed by the body when taken taken orally. As such, it is often sold with piperine to enhance absorption. Bromelain also enhances the bioavailability curcumin.

3. Select a supplement from a company that follows pharmaceutical GMP compliance. Many supplements on the market today do not provide you with enough of the active ingredient to offer turmeric benefits because it's cheaper to produce. More specifically, manufactures of dietary supplements do not have to guarantee the content, effectiveness, or even the purity of their products.

As a result, many products contain little or none of its therapeutic ingredient, therefore, no turmeric benefits or too much ingredient making consumption dangerous! While others have been reported for harboring harmful contaminates.

For this reason, we suggest that you only select a supplement from pharmaceutical GMP compliant facilities. These facilities adhere to very stringent manufacturing standards.
