Curcumin as anti microbial

Curcumin is among the more successful chemo-preventive compounds investigated in recent years, and is currently in human trials to prevent cancer. The mechanism of action of curcumin is complex and likely multifactorial. Curcumin is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory with potentially far-reaching health benefits. Based on human, animal, and cell studies, it may be helpful in rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, diabetic retinopathy, and cancer.

Curcumin works through several well-established mechanisms. An antioxidant in its own right, it also boosts levels of glutathione S-transferase, one of the body's principal antioxidants. It blocks the formation of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a compound that promotes inflammation within the body.

Rheumatoid arthritis: In a study, researchers used a curcumin-rich turmeric extract to treat rheumatoid arthritis in laboratory animals. The extract blocked joint inflammation and the breakdown of joint cartilage and bone. It worked by inhibiting genes involved in inflammation.

Cancer: Curcumin holds tremendous promise in preventing cancer and as an add-on treatment. Animal studies show that curcumin can protect against colon, intestinal, oral, and skin cancers. Its benefits derive from several mechanisms. First, it blocks the cell-growth cycle in cancer cells, leading to cell destruction. It also reduces free radicals and inflammation, both of which can lead to cancer-causing cell mutations.

Liver and kidney protection: Studies have found that curcumin can protect the liver against a variety of toxic compounds. In one recent study, researchers reported that curcumin increased the clearance of creatinine and urea, signs of enhanced kidney function. It also reduced liver damage from toxic chemicals and excess iron. Another study found that curcumin inhibited the activation and spread of the liver cells that play a role in the growth of cirrhosis.

Ulcerative colitis: At a certain geography, doctors recently used curcumin, drags, or placebos to treat 89 patients with ulcerative colitis. A combination of curcumin and conventional medications led to the greatest benefits over six months of treatment.

Other inflammatory diseases: Because inflammation is the underpinning of all chronic degenerative diseases, curcumin will likely be beneficial for many different conditions. Research so far has identified curcumin's benefits for diabetic retinopathy, lung disorders, and such skin problems as psoriasis.
