Do Omega 3 And Turmeric Have A Role In Promoting Neuroprotection?

Thanks for that info; I will follow-up. And sorry for the very late response!

Yes, there is turmeric in American mustard, but it listed at the end of ingredients, i.e. not much of it there. Usually, I buy not expensive mustard without any artificial ingredients and add turmeric, some raw apple cider vinegar (Bragg is the best brand I could find so far) and some fresh coarse ground mustard seeds. You also could add Tabasco or any hot sauce without preservatives and/or coarse ground coriander.

I use it instead of warfarin.

Hi Opinionate and DsMyre... You might find it funny that - I even brush with Haldi/Turmeric once a week (with a separate brush of course n have the whitest and healthiest teeth among my friends) ... in addition to adding it to my cooking.. and of course I am from India as well.

You had me sold at the anti-inflammatory, Doc. I don't need a medical education to know the source of my health problems--allergies, chemical sensitivites, peripheral neuropathy, edema, hypertension, a glass shoulder and knee, etc.--is inflammation. I have one hell of a time convincing strange young MDs of this, especially since my bloodwork comes back normal. If my primary doc wasn't allergic to half the modern world, too, I swear, I wouldn't get any effective treatment. I'm already on a handful of antiseizure meds a couple times a day for the neuopathy. And a few months ago, I broke out in a bad case of hives while I was halfway through a course of methylprednisolone (for an unrelated problem). I already swear by garlic as a decongestant. While I'm not wild about the bitter flavor of turmeric, I rinsed down about a quarter teaspoon of it anyway since I read your article. I suppose if I can lose my taste for soda pop, I can get used to the taste of that.

Did I miss the link to this or did Dr Weil not include it: "The National Institutes of Health lists 24 current studies on the effects of turmeric and its chief active component, curcumin." Come on Dr Weil or HuffPo editor,,,, link?

maybe some use ghee but no indian i know cooks with ghee, we use a little canola or olive oil. in fact, i don't know any indians with ghee in their homes.

I love drinking it in this elixir. Delicious! http://www.rawguru.com/store/raw-food/golden-spice-elixir.html
