@@linqt9504ther infos i have come across indicate too much tumeric can affect kidneys by causing kidney stones and if one is anemic they should avoid too much of it as it affects iron absorption. You can try get more info from research papers.
When I was a small child, my grandmother always advised my mother to give me turmeric if I was sick, and that was proven, around the 1970s I often ate turmeric and it was proven that I never got sick.
I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitus3 years ago and prescribed ( by a specialist) a drug to minimise the symptoms. My system couldn't tolerate the drug and it's side effects. I approached my G.P who suggested I try Tumeric tablets as where he was trained ( South Africa) it is commonly used for all digestive problems and many other difficulties. I started on Tumeric tablets over 2 years ago and all my Ulcerative problems have vanished, along wth my Fibromyalgia symptoms. Strangely my skin has vastly improved also. I'm a 73 y.o. male. and cannot praise it enough.
Wyatt, What brand of tablets & where do I get them? I want to start on them & also tell my aunt who has colitis issues. Thank you so much for sharing your benefits! 🙏🏻
I have been having intense joint pain in my knees for over a week now and it kept getting worse, I could barely get down the stairs last night. I am pretty sure inflammation was the cause. So I made tea last night from turmeric root, ginger root, pepper corns and cinnamon sticks. I woke up today and my pain is gone!! Thank you for the informative videos. I am so grateful.
Turmeric is indeed healthy, but overdosing can have serious side effects, especially for liver health. Not only that, its quite high in oxalates, so its a consuming too much may also lead to kidney stones. Be careful.
I drank a turmeric tonic after a major surgery and healed so fast my Dr was shocked! When I told him I drink turmeric tonic every night he gave me a fist bump with a smile on his face. Not saying a word.
Why they will say anything cause they are slaves of pharmaceutical companies. It’s sad to see how some drs are so ignorant. But Thanks to drs like Dr Berg and Barbara O’Neal, and Dr Brecka and so many other names. ❤️who are helping humanity.
I love turmeric and use spice all the time. it helped me to fight cancer. my doctor was surprised that it lowered carcinogen levels and kept it in a frozen level. God is good for creating this amazing plant for our healing And my primary care physician is happy that I have a healthy heart in my early senior age ALoHa Dr Berg thank you for the update on turmeric.
I live in Sri Lanka where the best quality turmeric is grown. It's widely grown at the level of home garden too and easily available to anyone. It's used as a condiment. And it's a major component or ingredient in indigenous medical treatment. However, this video brings more information about it than I have ever heard from our elders, doctors or specialists. Thanks very much!
The only way I would of found his channel in the last month is if I would of started doing my own research and gotten his video recommended because of that. Do you people underestimate yourselfs? You realize this information is out there and is pretty easy to access. This isn’t the only source.
I've been using turmeric for about 4 years now along with K2,D3,magnesium, zinc, vit.C as well as apple cider vinegar and I feel like I'm back in my 40s and I'm 62yrs old now.I have been using turmeric supplement pills because of the availability of turmeric which I occasionally find at Kroger's.this spring I'm going to start growing my own herbs including ginger.
Started taking Turmeric several months ago because it was an antioxidant. Immediately, I noticed a difference concerning stiffness in some of my joints when it's extremely humid outside. Glad to hear that it literally helps every part of a person's body. Thanks Dr. Berg!
We grew a TON of turmeric in South Georgia this year for the first time ever. Harvested it a few weeks ago. Also got over 100 elderberry trees going that we make our own tinctures from. Country folks can survive!
From Hank Jr's "country boy can survive" classic country song. Some of the lyrics: "The preacher man says it's the end of time And the Mississippi River, she's a-goin' dry The interest is up and the stock market's down And you only get mugged if you go downtown I live back in the woods you see My woman and the kids and the dogs and me I got a shotgun, a rifle and a four-wheel drive And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive"
In Indonesia, turmeric is one of the main ingredients of herbal medicine. Turmeric is also a raw material for healthy fresh drinks. Can be mixed with ginger, tamarind, lemon, lime, kencur, cinnamon and others.
@@ilkoconsult Yes. And if you don't like the taste of the drink you can add a little bit palm or coconut sugar. The main ingredient is turmeric and tamarind. It also good for menstrual pain.
I wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH DR BERG. after my mom diagnose CA Breast TNBC in 2022, and at first don't want chemo and operation, I look at around all ur video that really helpful. Now my mom is clean after pet scan on 30 Apr 2024. Thank you so much DR BERG.
Turmeric has been known for its medicinal properties in India for ages, it is part of the everyday diet. The Ayurveda (Indian medicinal System) which is around 5000 years old mentions its many uses in depth. Few uses of turmeric: 1. A spoonful of turmeric in a glass of milk helps heal inner injuries faster. In case if you are lactose intolerant you can take it with a glass of lukewarm water. 2. A paste of turmeric and honey helps reduce inflammation and heals muscle injury. 3. Turmeric paste is used to heal open wounds and burns. 3. Indian brides as part of a ritual apply turmeric paste to their body and face which gives a shiny golden look to the skin. 4. Powdered mixture of turmeric and Fenugreek seeds (meethi) helps reduce arthritis pain, and increases the body's metabolism.
@@alopez1571 Yes, it helps reduce pain and inflammation in case of inner muscle tear, since turmeric has antiseptic properties it helps with open wounds and burns and other skin problems.
@@alopez1571 In case of muscular pain the best ayurvedic remedy that works is to use an emulsion of mustard oil, garlic, clove, fenugreek seeds and carom seeds. The recipe is to : Cook mustard oil with a paste of garlic, cloves, fenugreek and carom seeds, filter the cooked oil and store it in a bottle to be used later. Massaging the affected area with this emulsion will relieve muscular pain. It works far better than the pain relief ointments available on the market, saying it from personal experience, my dad just had a lumbar discectomy done 3 weeks ago, and the pain in one of his legs was highly unbearable, this remedy has benefited him a lot.
@@oliviaoge8178 ,,, Yes it thins the blood in addition to trigger an overactive bladder. Be careful if you are on other blood thinner or blood pressure medication.
I’ve been taking turmeric for years. I had three cancer scares last year - three biopsies. All benign. My dad, in his 70s at the time, took turmeric throughout his stage 4 liver and esophagus cancer. He’s 83, still cancer free, still taking turmeric. True Champions comment below triggered the memory of how I started. I saw a dr. (can't remember name but he's famous) talking about drinking golden milk at night. I actually did that at first but got lazy and started taking the capsules. Look up golden milk and find the recipe you like best. It's pretty good. I have drank Organifi Gold, which is really good (expensive, though but what price can we put on health).
I am from Pakistan, and we use turmeric powder with other spices at least 2 times a day in our food. I remember my grand Ma and my Mom use to give us turmeric powder mix with the milk whenever we get hurt, and sometimes if a body part swells, she used to mix turmeric powder with oil heated up a bit and then apply on the effected area. I have forgotten this never thought about it tell today. I left Pakistan in 1992 and settled in Canada. Thanks Dr. Eric Berg
out of all the doctors promoting natural health, I trust this guy the most. Love the information and its always clear you're here to help us all. THANK YOU Dr Eric.
In India, we use it in all foods and rituals. But also in some formulas that most of us don’t know. For eg: on 3rd and 5th day of monthly periods, we women eat 3 pea size balls of turmeric (even bigger) on empty stomach along with 2 big tablespoon of sesame oil to decrease inflammation in the body. Also, for body massages which is infused in oils.
@@jenniferibarra7737There is a company called “finger lakes harvest”, it is based in central NYS. They have a tumeric, ginger, pepper, and apple cider vinegar tonic that is very good. I get a couple bottles at a time. Has many of the best supplements all in one bottle. The taste is very tolerable, though I often add in other fruit based super supplements such as tart cherry juice and elderberry. I take it before bed as a “shot”.
I started eating eggs after watching one of your videos. I don't cook them plain. I cook them with one whole tomatoe (i peel the skin off), half bellpepper, blackpepper, half a teaspoon turmeric powder, cumin powder, garam masala, a mix of other spices that have garlic powder and other healthy spices. Sometimes, I add a can of tuna/sardines/salmon twice a week to get my weekly Omegas. I cook them in olive oil. It tastes yummy and healthy. I eat 4 eggs, but when I add the fish, I only use 2 eggs. Otherwise, it would be too much protein in one meal. The days that I don't eat fish, I add legumes or mix of beans (not too much). Overall, it's a healthy breakfast with lots of vitamins and good protein. If anybody wants to eat canned fish to save time, then 2 cans per week is enough and not harmful. I buy the sockeye tuna and wild caught salmon in the cans, either packed in water or olive oil. Few notes..half a tsp of turmeric powder is enough. More will deplete iron from the body. If you're in the west, you can easily find the spices at any Indian, Pakistani, or Afghan stores. They're healthy and makes the meal tasty.
Hello Dr Berg I'm 48 140kg I have been on the keto diet with your guide and I feel so much better just after 12 days I am very active I was just living on junk bakery food and Mc donalds 5 days a week now it's sour kraut eggs lamb chops rockett avocados and some nuts. Anyway thank you so much for sharing your research with us.
I've been taking Tumeric for several years also. I put it on almost everything including tea, a boiled egg, scrambled eggs, salad and always with a Dash of Pepper. I recommend this plant to anyone.
I learned so much from you for my health. For example I started prolonged fasting autophagy (I cured a health disease by chance after 72 hours...no doctor could help me with). Also I started 3 min cold showers every day because your video about the benefits from them. You change lifes for the better. I keep spreading your vids and word! Greetings from Germany
@@pedroribeiro7594skin fungus in my mans area from an unprotected interaction 10 years ago. A white spot. Noticed it was gone 2 weeks after when I showered
I swear its like Dr. Eric reads minds, I just last week ordered turmeric supplements that has black pepper and ginger in the capsules with it. you made this video on perfect timing. I appreciate you a lot Eric. sending love from Denmark.
Nature Wise is the brand I use. It also has pepper and ginger in it. I chose this brand because it's potent and affordable. Edit: I only take it a few times a week because of the oxalates. If you take it everyday, I would suggest taking lemon water too.
Be careful wit it , turmeric is very high in oxalate extremely high in fact Number two disease in India is kidney disease especially kidney stones caused by oxalate please check everything about oxalates online
I literally just found some turmeric sitting in my drawers and transferred it into my spice jar like a few hours before this video and it's been years since I last used tumeric lol.
I use this daily, maybe twice a day with my coffee (coffee + coconut milk or oil) I also add 1 additional spice each time Nutmeg, cinnamon, garlic, chillie powder, ginger or pure cocao powder. This video just made me notice I haven't gotten sick or had any kind of pain or health issues since I started doing this.
@@svetlanaguseynova2584 I enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the morning before eating anything and one in the evening around 5 or 6pm. I add about 1/2 teaspoon of tumeric, and 1/4 teasp of ginger in a teapot you can use fresh or powdered, then a pinch of the other spices let it steep for about 5/10 mins then enjoy a cup or two before breakfast. Use the spices to your liking, see how much you like and get use to the taste for the spices! But keep in mind they are healing your body from within! Hope this helps!
My grandma takes turmeric curcumin capsules and swears by the benefits. Now I’m listening to Dr. Berg on it as well. I’m sending my grandma this video, she’s going to love to hear from a Doctor that agrees with her Tumeric curcumin use as well.❤
Yes, I read few years ago, turmeric is very powerful. I use it in my juicing add pepper to it to hopefully absorb better into my system, and also take supplement that has ginger in it.
I have been drinking turmeric tea with black pepper for the past month now. The most immediate benefit so far has been with my digestion. My IBS is much more manageable now. For me, that is reason enough for me to keep drinking it.
Back in 2009,my sister was diagnosed with multiple myeloma,a blood cancer. I did research and found oncologists had amazing results with turmeric for cancer. Not only in treatment,but in prevention. Although my sister in law chose a more traditional American treatment plan,I had my husband and myself begin to take powerful turmeric. It was one of my best decisions for our health...
My grandmother father used it a lot in his daily consumption. He took really care of himself and lived 117. Interestingly in his last years, his hair mostly turned black! Born and grew up in South Asia, we were really eating healthy and organic food until coming to USA🤣😄
Wow! That's amazing @Mohammad Abrar ! What was his diet like? I had a friend tell me last week about a friend of hers having her hair color come back after drinking lots of horsetail tea. Wonder if your great grandfather had his color return for similar reasons?
@@KhassiaK His diet was totally organic and home grown. I have never seen him drinking horsetail tea, though he used to drink goat and buffalo milk with almost every meal. I also have seen him eating lots of dry dated, dry figs, almonds and raw brown sugar. He used a certain plant stick to brush his teeth and the plant has very mint type flavor. According to him, he never visit doctor, instead he used homeopathic medicine.
I started using turmeric about 6 months ago and wow! What a difference it has made in so many ways! Most of my inflammation is basically gone now, more energy are just a couple of noticeable positive effects I've had since using turmeric! And to think this was achieved without one prescription drug! Also a TBSP. of good olive oil twice a day doesn't hurt either!
@@Promqueen23 I use either the dry powder or the actual root. I never use the pill supplement. I guess I take around 1-2 thousand mg's per day. Never have really measured it out
I just drank a turmeric latte for the first time a few days ago. I had nought it because it was supposed to be good for sleep. I instantly felt relax within an hour after drinking. Definitely looking to purchase some turmeric in my next grocery trip. Will be good for my inflammation in my body.
I've used turmeric root in homemade tea for my lupus. I add chunks with chunks of ginger root, some pepper, and lemon rind plus a little Manuka honey from new Zealand. I used to strain it and put it in the fridge. Now I just drink my tea with the chunks in it lol.
Been using turmeric for around one month and it's mittigating some problems (like a strange bad odour i've been having since 15 years ago). It's fantastic!
My allergic rhinitis virtually disappeared ever since I took turmeric supplements. I've been dealing with allergies for about a decade now, so this is amazing. I'm actually wondering why Dr. Berg didn't recommend turmeric in his other video where he discussed allergies, since this is such a total cure for me. Maybe it just really worked for me, individually.
how many times did you use turmeric a day? what name of the turmeric supplements did you you? do you think nanocurcumin (from korea) which I plan to use is good or natural turmeric is better? thank you!
@@chosenandblessed9040 Probably turmeric as a whole, in supplement form, with some black/white pepper for better absorption. Dr Eric Berg also mentioned in the video that it is good to have some healthy fat to eat with the supplement/turmeric because it is fat soluble. I will also try this for my allergies!
I have been taking a turmeric, olive oil, cinnamon, 1/2 lemon squeeze elixir for 2 months and my body feels the difference. I like this video because it clarifies why I feel better. I was using a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, but I think I will also swallow a pepper corn. This info is the kind that changes one life for the better. Thank you Dr. Berg. Now I want to go and get the organic whole turmeric and bite it like you. 😁 I was using the powdered form.
@@barbaralawlor5967 Just a regular teaspoon...I don't measure accurately for myself...I am testing how I feel with more or less measurements. Sort of listening to my body 🙄
It's always hard to take vloggers seriously when they recommend taking something by mouth without actually seeing the vloggers consume their recommendation on video. However, to see you actually eat the turmeric in your video here gives me confidence that I too can consume turmeric in its raw form. Thank you, Dr. Berg, you've given me confidence!
I make my morning oatmeal in the style of golden milk. That's turmeric powder plus a little cinnamon, ginger and black pepper. I make it with milk, and stir in a tablespoon of peanut butter at the end. It tastes great and it's an excellent way to add turmeric to my diet daily.
I've been eating raw turmeric and ginger for a few years. No point in buying the capsules or supplements when you can get it fresh and unadulterated. I've just moved back to the US after living in japan for the last 11 years. In Japan they have turmeric with a yellow hue and also the orange stuff--I found the yellow turmeric to be best.
I mix 3 capsules of Dr. Berg's Turmeric, 3 capsules of Dr. Berg's Ashwaganda, 2 capsules of his Liver Detox, 1 capsule of his Adrenal Stress, along w/organic powerded ginger, the juice of a whole organic lemon and sometimes a splash of ACV. Totally "addicted" to it!
I was taking a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, black pepper and turmeric for a few days every month and did not catch a cold for all the time I was taking it. My skin also looked good and helped with bowel movements too. I'm from South East Asia therefore we have always used turmeric as a medicine.
@@decreed9505 I've kept the mixture in the jar. I boil water and add a quarter tsp and let it sit until it's cool enough to drink. Works best with an empty stomach in the morning for me.
This just shows how amazing Indian food is. From ages we have been using not only turmeric but a bunch lot of other ingredients in our daily food which are highly beneficial and medicinal. Almost every household uses turmeric minimum twice a day.
Indian Ayurvedic medicine is far better than Big Pharma medication which comes with more side effects than a cure. Moringa was eaten in the east for centuries and now it is sold in western countries as a health food.
I am a Curcumin addict. I take Curcumin for joint pain, antioxidant benefits, for weight loss, for liver, for anti carcinogenic benefits for everything. Two tabs of high strength Curcumin , one tab of DIM and I am ready to rock the day 🙌
@@psisky Dr. Berg has a video on it. It's basically cruciferous properties that can do many things, the most notable being balancing estrogen in men and women
That crunching bite at the end of the video was the perfect ending! Really made me smile. I LOVE putting powdered turmeric and salt and pepper on my eggs and avocado for lunch. And my 5 year old has just started liking it too. I have never tried it raw though. What a great idea! Thanks!
I do. His information has helped me with so many health issues that I've suffered with for years! To name a few; Heitus Hernia, GIRD, stiff painful joints. So pleased I discovered his site.
I grate this up in my oats every day. Put some olive oil, pepper, chia seeds and walnuts with it. I will add the turmeric after it is fully cooked now that I have watched this. Didn’t realize cooking it resulted in the turmeric being less effective. Thanks for the advice!
India is the largest producer of turmeric. We use it daily in our curries. Apart from turmeric, Indian spices such as black pepper are good for our immune system. I strongly suggest my American friends to check the Indian stores for more interesting Indian condiments.
I 🧡 turmeric, I take 1tsp/day (ground powder, organic, raw). Works for everything, especially brain fog/fatigue/anxiety. It seems to flush my gallbladder as well; it releases the pressure in that area.
@@dominusstyx I just put it in my mouth and wash it around with some water for about a minute (sounds gross, I know), swallow, rinse again, swallow. It will be quite peppery.
There goes Dr. Berg releasing a video relevant to my current situation again. I just started taking turmeric for lung inflammation from a viral infection
I take turmeric everyday and it's great. Along with cleaning up my diet, I have really cleared up a lot of aches and pains I had when I was younger. My daughter separated her shoulder last year playing basketball. The average time to heal for that separation was 12 weeks. We gave her tons of turmeric and vitamins, took out sugar, gluten, and dairy, and she was cleared to play in one week. It helps that we have very clean diets already.
Black pepper, cumin, fenugreek, ginger, ashwagandha (Indian ginseng), amla (Indian gooseberry), neem, tulsi (holy basil), moringa (moringa oleifera), cinnamon, green cardamom, bay leaf to name a few. Of these, ashwagandha isn’t something that’s eaten or consumed on a regular basis - It’s more of a tonic for high stress and low testosterone in men, but it has a long history of usage in Indian medicine.
My grandpa was a Herb Doctor ! We ate Turmeric when we was a child ! And addicting if you know how to cook it ! 🥰’ from inside body to outside skin care too ! Unbelievable benefits- number #1 medicine 👍🏼
I've been eating it for a year in the morning. I make a fruit soup with turmeric. One apple cut in small pieces, one pink grapefruit juice, half a glass of water, one teaspoon of turmeric, a sprinkle of black pepper, two spoon of extra virgin olive oil, I mix all the ingredients and I eat it every morning. I feel strong, healthy, I never get sick, I solved constipation too. Only benefits
When I take it, I develop symptoms of iron deficiency. Tested it many times with the same results. Most common symptom is dizziness when standing. When I remove turmeric from the equation, symptoms are gone. I’ve looked it up and sure enough there are studies on this. Love the stuff and wish I could take it but unfortunately my body doesn’t agree. Worked great for my inflammation.
Thank you Dr. Berg for this upload. My wife and I began incorporating turmeric into our diet and your video is very reassuring that we made a good choice 😊
What Indian sages said ,prescribed and we Indians used for centuries . I am so proud to belong to it. You are a very good doctor and wish there were more of your tribe .
My mom had breast cancer and the cancer broke through the skin. She put turmeric directly on the spot and it ate a chunk of the cancer over night. When the dr saw he called a bunch of other Dr's to show how much the cancer dissipated. She told them what she did and one of them told her that was a bunch of mumbo jumbo. She started to beat the cancer mentioning natural solutions introduced to her by my aunt. They then gave her medication that gave her a seizure and killed her.
Most south Indian Food base are always made with Turmeric, Ginger garlic and Black pepper. These are highly potent superfoods. if you take Turmeric(added as dry powder available in any Indian store) with Milk, slight pepper and honey can help in all kinds of upper respiratory problems. Taking Ginger, turmeric and Honey extract in juice format can get you relieved from Cold or digestive symptoms almost immediately.
Thanks a lot Doctor,very true my father lived unto 101 years of age and used Turmeric and Garlic in diet.I do practice.Very informative and educational.
Dr.Berg, you are my favorite Doctor on youtube and I am soo happy when you share some remedies which rooted in Asia. Because those are the ones that I usually learn from my mom.
I ate it a few minutes ago 😂. Curcumin is poorly absorbed, but what people forget, is that it works local in the gut... So it works for the whole Body indirectly.
Thank you so much for your videos. Was diagnosed with a liver condition and arthritis. Been taking tinkering milk with black pepper, cinnamon, lemon tea. My health has improved. 😊
My CA 19-9 blood test values - which are markers for varied cancers - are low because of the turmeric and black pepper. I'm 63 and thankfully last in the hospital in January 1965 for a tonsillectomy. Yes, G-d is behind me.
Turmeric is probably the primary spice you ll find in every household in southern India. You ll find Cloth bags dipped in diluted turmeric being used as return gift bags in marriage events etc. believed to be able to cleanse a lot of things.
@@shilpadhodapkar8223 Seed oils are killing people in south India. In the north they use Ghee and butter. The termeric won't help the people consuming seed oils.
@@adelarsen9776 it's not seed oils. It's refined seed oils that's a problem. Many South indians especially from tamil nadu use wood pressed oils ( Peanut, Coconut and Sesame) which are actually healthy.
Thank you, Dr. Eric. In India, we use turmeric literally everywhere :D) Though we have 1000s of food recipes all over India, I doubt if there is any without turmeric as ingredient. From East to West, North to South, turmeric rules India! You could see even in the poojas. Women uses it in the skincare too. Wedding threads are drenched in turmeric!! Turmeric is considered so divine, obviously as it possesses a great healing and protective. I suggest if anyone takes milk at night, take it with a bit of turmeric and crushed pepper. Happy living :)
Thank you Dr. Berg. I was diagnosed with early spondylosis which is a pain in the lower back. The pain was excruciating for years but during the covid lockdown I took fresh tumeric juice and woke up with zero pain. I take it everyday to this day and never had back pain again.
Spondylosis is FAR more than just a pain in the low back! It's also an instability in the spine structure. That's amazing you have gotten so much relief! congratulations! Please take care of it and learn all about your muscles and strengthen to protect your spine. best of wishes
Having tumeric every day. Mainly using organic powder. I use the root when in season. In juices, tea and golden mylk. Have it with a little bit of coconut oil and black pepper in all the drinks. Also occasionally in curry. Everything in my house is now stained yellow 😅
It helped with my children's eczema flare-ups as well, when mixed up with coconut oil.Try it Dr Berg with green tea and freshly ground cardamom. It will take teatime into another level ☕😍
@@sabrinaandhusband7791 to help allow the body to heal even more, it is even better to permanently eliminate bad gluten (wheat, barley, and rye) and cow milk (meant for baby cows). There are over 315 different health issues for which bad gluten is the common denominating factor, including eczema.
In winters, we make a dish out of fresh turmeric. We make it with Desi ghee. The quantity of ghee and turmeric should be ideally equal. First grate the fresh turmeric, then add it into the pan. Add salt, chilli powder, green chilli and green peas. Sauté a little. Cover n cook for 10 minutes. Done! We eat it in less quantity along with other dishes.
Good stuff. If you're eating them like Dr. Berg just be sure to have an extra toothbrush (one you don't care about) ready for teeth and tongue. While yellow at first some actually use turmeric as teeth whitening, so the yellow/orange teeth is nothing to be alarmed about, but something to be aware of. You can't just eat them like that and then leave the house.
Neat. So many superfoods to fight off cancer. It’s like it was easily preventable back then because people actually ate naturally to stay healthy and fight off many health risks that they could develop. Fantastic video Dr Berg
At what age did they die? In the past I bet they seldom lived past 50 years. Now with a modern healthcare system (and advanced space program) in India life expectancy is 70 years. Life expectancy in Europe is 80 years. America 77 years (the biggest importer of turmeric in the world and worst healthcare system of the western developed nations). Japan 84 years. UK 81 years. China 78 years.
@@fibber2u yeah many of those who died from anything other than old age lived longer and being susceptible to diseases doesn’t equal anything about a health issue but that is something you aren’t really looking into. Many who actually took after their health and lived well enough to maintain themselves without being susceptible to precarious predicaments lived well past their 80s to even their 90s. Modern medicine just made it easier to fight against diseases which is something outside of maintaining health in your body
I take tumeric with black pepper and ginger just about daily. I didn't know about the white pepper.... interesting. I used to put ginger root in my healthy shakes. I should get that again, and tumeric root if I can find it. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Wow!!!!! I just successfully growing turmeric in my garden and it’s a lot … way too much to eat now I want to put in my smoothie 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Also Thai style grilled chickenwith turmeric is the best for keto recipe…Thank you
Turmeric does help with inflammation and to boost the immune system. Thank you for the detailed explanation, Doc. When my children started to catch cold and sore throat, they would be fed (yellow) beef soup with turmeric, known in Indonesia as Soto Madura. We alternate with (clear yellow) chicken soup with turmeric or Soto Ayam Bening + vegetables and regular chicken soup with vegetables and pork chinese style porridge. : )
Indonesia has not only *regular turmeric* , but also *white turmeric* and *black turmeric* . Regular turmeric _(curcuma domestica)_ is used for cooking Indonesian food and for making _jamu_ or Indonesian herbal medicine to maintain good physical health. White turmeric is not as popular as regular turmeric. It is usually used for cancer treatment here. There are three kinds of white turmeric known here on the island of Java: _curcuma zedoaria, curcuma mangga_ and _kaempferia rotunda_ . The black turmeric _(curcuma aeruginosa)_ is not popular, either. It is used to rid the body of threadworm infections. These three kinds of turmeric are sold in traditional markets throughout Indonesia. To buy white turmeric and black turmeric, however, people need to order first. The herbal ingredient seller needs time to get those roots because they are not popular.
@@illement7 If you have time, visit Indonesia (traditional markets on the island of Java). You can buy various kinds of medicinal roots, including red ginger, aromatic ginger, white turmeric and black turmeric. They are cheap, but very expensive in Europe. Indonesia is the paradise of herbal ingredients.
As u mention Red Ginger. My friend gave me some from Indonesia. The yellow ginger gives me heat ( in Chinese Medicine) it didnt do well on my body. Whenever i eat spicy food and yellow ginger the next day i wake up my mouth have this bitter taste due to too much heat in my body ) whenever i take the Red Ginger powder from Indonesia it didnt to that to my body. I take it often. I love red ginger from Indonesia. I also know young ginger more mild, but i dont see it here in Texas. Maybe i should grow some on my own, and i can make pickle gingers.
Side effect update: turmeric/curcumin is a potent blood thinner! You may not want to use if you are already taking blood thinners. I had a hemorrhoid that wouldn't stop bleeding until I stopped taking it. Agree with all of the benefits listed, but know your body and beware of drug interactions.
Yes, under certain conditions it does have side effect. I don't understand why did he choose to say there are no side effects, Curcumin is used to herbal medicine, it's too strong for everyone, you need to know about your medical condition and get your dose amount right before you use it as daily supplement.
Lots of people loves the doctor, and his precious works , more than you think of! Thank you Doctor for all necessary knowledge and guidance for healthy human life! We all deserve to know this information! Thank you very much doctor ❤ Have a blessed weekend and working week!
Great video on turmeric. One small note: Insulin can't be more sensitive itself. It's the insulin-receptors on cells that get more sensitive towards insulin.

As you mentioned , no side effects with too much turmeric. I heard too much of it is bad for the liver?
Any information on this?
do you think that a keto diet is acidic? does acidity invite disease?
@@linqt9504ther infos i have come across indicate too much tumeric can affect kidneys by causing kidney stones and if one is anemic they should avoid too much of it as it affects iron absorption. You can try get more info from research papers.

When I was a small child, my grandmother always advised my mother to give me turmeric if I was sick, and that was proven, around the 1970s I often ate turmeric and it was proven that I never got sick.
But how much should i take turmeric on daily basis. Plz guide.
I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitus3 years ago and prescribed ( by a specialist) a drug to minimise the symptoms. My system couldn't tolerate the drug and it's side effects. I approached my G.P who suggested I try Tumeric tablets as where he was trained ( South Africa) it is commonly used for all digestive problems and many other difficulties. I started on Tumeric tablets over 2 years ago and all my Ulcerative problems have vanished, along wth my Fibromyalgia symptoms. Strangely my skin has vastly improved also. I'm a 73 y.o. male. and cannot praise it enough.
Wyatt, What brand of tablets & where do I get them? I want to start on them & also tell my aunt who has colitis issues. Thank you so much for sharing your benefits! 🙏🏻
I have Ulcerative Colitis too. What brand?

I have been having intense joint pain in my knees for over a week now and it kept getting worse, I could barely get down the stairs last night. I am pretty sure inflammation was the cause. So I made tea last night from turmeric root, ginger root, pepper corns and cinnamon sticks. I woke up today and my pain is gone!! Thank you for the informative videos. I am so grateful.
I can bet my life on thise things you mention! I always drink that because of my gout. Gone baby!! Thank you Jehovah God.. Dr.Berg!!
Turmeric is indeed healthy, but overdosing can have serious side effects, especially for liver health. Not only that, its quite high in oxalates, so its a consuming too much may also lead to kidney stones. Be careful.
Thank you for sharing.

I drank a turmeric tonic after a major surgery and healed so fast my Dr was shocked! When I told him I drink turmeric tonic every night he gave me a fist bump with a smile on his face. Not saying a word.
How did u make ur turmeric tonic??
Why they will say anything cause they are slaves of pharmaceutical companies. It’s sad to see how some drs are so ignorant.
But Thanks to drs like Dr Berg and Barbara O’Neal, and Dr Brecka and so many other names. ❤️who are helping humanity.
I love turmeric and use spice all the time. it helped me to fight cancer. my doctor was surprised that it lowered carcinogen levels and kept it in a frozen level. God is good for creating this amazing plant for our healing And my primary care physician is happy that I have a healthy heart in my early senior age
ALoHa Dr Berg thank you for the update on turmeric.
Hw did you take it..? Any specific Dosage or any measurmnt ?? did you tk regularly ??
Congrats on bearing cancer
ALL GLORY TO GOD ALONE!! NOONE SHARES IN HIS INFINITE GLORY ❤️ 🌟 🙏

I live in Sri Lanka where the best quality turmeric is grown. It's widely grown at the level of home garden too and easily available to anyone. It's used as a condiment. And it's a major component or ingredient in indigenous medical treatment. However, this video brings more information about it than I have ever heard from our elders, doctors or specialists. Thanks very much!
And I’m sure you grow ginger too. Same family.
Greetings! Sri Lanka also has the best organic green tea and organic raw coconut milk powder - I always buy from your country :)
@Mahinda Siriwardena Excuse me but do you know if Tumeric will help delay menopause in older women? Does it affect fertility in women?
If I'm not mistaken, turmeric goes way back in time as one of the healing plants in Vedic medicine. Knowledge that is thousands of years old.
@@Ottee2 That's correct, turmeric has been mentioned in the Ayurveda ( Indian medicinal system) for its medical properties.
I started taking half a tea spoon of curcumin powder recently, and my lower back pain vanished within a few weeks... I only realized after some time

The only way I would of found his channel in the last month is if I would of started doing my own research and gotten his video recommended because of that. Do you people underestimate yourselfs? You realize this information is out there and is pretty easy to access. This isn’t the only source.
I've been using turmeric for about 4 years now along with K2,D3,magnesium, zinc, vit.C as well as apple cider vinegar and I feel like I'm back in my 40s and I'm 62yrs old now.I have been using turmeric supplement pills because of the availability of turmeric which I occasionally find at Kroger's.this spring I'm going to start growing my own herbs including ginger.
I found fresh turmeric at Walmart yesterday. They do stock fruits and vegetables at this particular Walmart.
Started taking Turmeric several months ago because it was an antioxidant. Immediately, I noticed a difference concerning stiffness in some of my joints when it's extremely humid outside. Glad to hear that it literally helps every part of a person's body. Thanks Dr. Berg!
i just started my journey today, eat a root of eat each day...
@dougieboy28 a root each day? So how is it?
I used the turmeric with black pepper, it is really good After 2 hours I used it, I felt it help and after 1 ½ week my vision was also better.
We grew a TON of turmeric in South Georgia this year for the first time ever. Harvested it a few weeks ago. Also got over 100 elderberry trees going that we make our own tinctures from. Country folks can survive!
Is someone saying they can’t 😂
Lol, its a line in a song.
From Hank Jr's "country boy can survive" classic country song. Some of the lyrics: "The preacher man says it's the end of time
And the Mississippi River, she's a-goin' dry

And you only get mugged if you go downtown

@sweetbeep immunotherapy only
Turmeric has been known for its medicinal properties in India for ages, it is part of the everyday diet. The Ayurveda (Indian medicinal System) which is around 5000 years old mentions its many uses in depth.
Few uses of turmeric:
1. A spoonful of turmeric in a glass of milk helps heal inner injuries faster. In case if you are lactose intolerant you can take it with a glass of lukewarm water.
2. A paste of turmeric and honey helps reduce inflammation and heals muscle injury.
3. Turmeric paste is used to heal open wounds and burns.
3. Indian brides as part of a ritual apply turmeric paste to their body and face which gives a shiny golden look to the skin.
4. Powdered mixture of turmeric and Fenugreek seeds (meethi) helps reduce arthritis pain, and increases the body's metabolism.
150 % true God bless you
Average attention seeking Indian. 💀
2 & 3 external use?
@@alopez1571 Yes, it helps reduce pain and inflammation in case of inner muscle tear, since turmeric has antiseptic properties it helps with open wounds and burns and other skin problems.
@@alopez1571 In case of muscular pain the best ayurvedic remedy that works is to use an emulsion of mustard oil, garlic, clove, fenugreek seeds and carom seeds.
The recipe is to :
Cook mustard oil with a paste of garlic, cloves, fenugreek and carom seeds, filter the cooked oil and store it in a bottle to be used later. Massaging the affected area with this emulsion will relieve muscular pain. It works far better than the pain relief ointments available on the market, saying it from personal experience, my dad just had a lumbar discectomy done 3 weeks ago, and the pain in one of his legs was highly unbearable, this remedy has benefited him a lot.
Dr Berg, in addition to your knowledge and research it is obvious that you care a lot about helping people. We appreciate you very much.
Thanks. Appreciate your warm comment.

I’ve been taking turmeric for years. I had three cancer scares last year - three biopsies. All benign. My dad, in his 70s at the time, took turmeric throughout his stage 4 liver and esophagus cancer. He’s 83, still cancer free, still taking turmeric.
True Champions comment below triggered the memory of how I started. I saw a dr. (can't remember name but he's famous) talking about drinking golden milk at night. I actually did that at first but got lazy and started taking the capsules. Look up golden milk and find the recipe you like best. It's pretty good. I have drank Organifi Gold, which is really good (expensive, though but what price can we put on health).

is turmeric and ginger same??
@@fidelcatsro6948 No.
Can you please share how you take this tumeric. Thankyou in advance.
I swear by turmeric for my rapid recovery from shoulder replacement surgery.
I take many supplements, but turmeric is at the top of my list.
I am from Pakistan, and we use turmeric powder with other spices at least 2 times a day in our food.
I remember my grand Ma and my Mom use to give us turmeric powder mix with the milk whenever we get hurt, and sometimes if a body part swells, she used to mix turmeric powder with oil heated up a bit and then apply on the effected area. I have forgotten this never thought about it tell today. I left Pakistan in 1992 and settled in Canada.

@@Drbergwhat is the difference between turmeric and ginger root?
In India, we use it in all foods and rituals. But also in some formulas that most of us don’t know. For eg: on 3rd and 5th day of monthly periods, we women eat 3 pea size balls of turmeric (even bigger) on empty stomach along with 2 big tablespoon of sesame oil to decrease inflammation in the body. Also, for body massages which is infused in oils.
I sometimes make “curry scrambled eggs” as I like to call them with turmeric, salt, cayenne pepper, mixed herbs & curry powder. Tastes amazing!
I need to try this I eat eggs for breakfast I hate drinking turmeric maybe this will help
you can use it in food. In Indian, Bangladesgi cuisine, its a must have spice @@jenniferibarra7737
@@jenniferibarra7737There is a company called “finger lakes harvest”, it is based in central NYS. They have a tumeric, ginger, pepper, and apple cider vinegar tonic that is very good. I get a couple bottles at a time. Has many of the best supplements all in one bottle. The taste is very tolerable, though I often add in other fruit based super supplements such as tart cherry juice and elderberry. I take it before bed as a “shot”.
@@jenniferibarra7737 It will, you wouldn’t taste the turmeric.
I started eating eggs after watching one of your videos. I don't cook them plain. I cook them with one whole tomatoe (i peel the skin off), half bellpepper, blackpepper, half a teaspoon turmeric powder, cumin powder, garam masala, a mix of other spices that have garlic powder and other healthy spices. Sometimes, I add a can of tuna/sardines/salmon twice a week to get my weekly Omegas. I cook them in olive oil. It tastes yummy and healthy. I eat 4 eggs, but when I add the fish, I only use 2 eggs. Otherwise, it would be too much protein in one meal. The days that I don't eat fish, I add legumes or mix of beans (not too much). Overall, it's a healthy breakfast with lots of vitamins and good protein.
If anybody wants to eat canned fish to save time, then 2 cans per week is enough and not harmful. I buy the sockeye tuna and wild caught salmon in the cans, either packed in water or olive oil.
Few notes..half a tsp of turmeric powder is enough. More will deplete iron from the body. If you're in the west, you can easily find the spices at any Indian, Pakistani, or Afghan stores. They're healthy and makes the meal tasty.
Hello Dr Berg I'm 48 140kg I have been on the keto diet with your guide and I feel so much better just after 12 days I am very active I was just living on junk bakery food and Mc donalds 5 days a week now it's sour kraut eggs lamb chops rockett avocados and some nuts.

I have been drinking turmeric tea with black pepper for the past month now. The most immediate benefit so far has been with my digestion. My IBS is much more manageable now. For me, that is reason enough for me to keep drinking it.
Back in 2009,my sister was diagnosed with multiple myeloma,a blood cancer.
I did research and found oncologists had amazing results with turmeric for cancer.
Not only in treatment,but in prevention.

It has anti bacterial and anti septic properties too. As per Aurveda, turmeric can be applied on wounds as well
And pimples 🙂
I was taking a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, black pepper and turmeric for a few days every month and did not catch a cold for all the time I was taking it. My skin also looked good and helped with bowel movements too. I'm from South East Asia therefore we have always used turmeric as a medicine.

Of these, ashwagandha isn’t something that’s eaten or consumed on a regular basis - It’s more of a tonic for high stress and low testosterone in men, but it has a long history of usage in Indian medicine.
@@kc4276 Thank You
@@tabularasa7775 What do you mean high rates of disease?
My grandpa was a Herb Doctor ! We ate Turmeric when we was a child ! And addicting if you know how to cook it ! 🥰’ from inside body to outside skin care too ! Unbelievable benefits- number #1 medicine 👍🏼
I've been eating it for a year in the morning.
I make a fruit soup with turmeric.
One apple cut in small pieces, one pink grapefruit juice, half a glass of water, one teaspoon of turmeric, a sprinkle of black pepper, two spoon of extra virgin olive oil, I mix all the ingredients and I eat it every morning.
I feel strong, healthy, I never get sick, I solved constipation too.
Only benefits
Well, according to Wikipedia, it has no evidence that is effective for treating any disease.
Crazy he does this video now, I've been researching this this past week, thank you so much Dr. Berg ❤
I've been using it for Ulcerative Colitus for nearly 3 years and it has worked well instead of drugs.
In India, we use in most of the dishes as well as salads in winter and turmeric milk.Thank you so much for sharing this information.
When I take it, I develop symptoms of iron deficiency. Tested it many times with the same results. Most common symptom is dizziness when standing. When I remove turmeric from the equation, symptoms are gone. I’ve looked it up and sure enough there are studies on this. Love the stuff and wish I could take it but unfortunately my body doesn’t agree. Worked great for my inflammation.
Thank you Dr. Berg for this upload.
My wife and I began incorporating turmeric into our diet and your video is very reassuring that we made a good choice 😊
Been taking it with milk, as my wonderful mum told me to do, and it has done amazing results after my liver transplant
Do you take capsule or turmeric plant?
What Indian sages said ,prescribed and we Indians used for centuries . I am so proud to belong to it. You are a very good doctor and wish there were more of your tribe .
My mom had breast cancer and the cancer broke through the skin. She put turmeric directly on the spot and it ate a chunk of the cancer over night. When the dr saw he called a bunch of other Dr's to show how much the cancer dissipated. She told them what she did and one of them told her that was a bunch of mumbo jumbo. She started to beat the cancer mentioning natural solutions introduced to her by my aunt. They then gave her medication that gave her a seizure and killed her.
So sorry for your loss.
😢 May the Father of Mercy show her His Love without end
Sorry to hear.
That's awful...really sorry
This was in America right?
I just ordered 180 turmeric and black pepper capsules
Most south Indian Food base are always made with Turmeric, Ginger garlic and Black pepper. These are highly potent superfoods. if you take Turmeric(added as dry powder available in any Indian store) with Milk, slight pepper and honey can help in all kinds of upper respiratory problems. Taking Ginger, turmeric and Honey extract in juice format can get you relieved from Cold or digestive symptoms almost immediately.
Dr, you're the only one I have seen chew turmeric like carrot and call it delicious. 😊. Thanks for bringing us all these life saving tips
Turmeric also chelates iron, which is beneficial for hemochromatosis. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Always searching for the iron blockers !!! Also hemachromatosis patient !
@@Kthryngood Dr. Berg has a great video on all the causes of iron deficiency. It helped me a ton
Yes ! And Coffee also. Some herbs.
Wow great information to have read. Thank you for your comment. I will look into this.
'Chelation', that's an incredibly long time after I am hearing this word.
Thanks a lot Doctor,very true my father lived unto 101 years of age and used Turmeric and Garlic in diet.I do practice.Very informative and educational.
Happy you found it useful! Be well!

Dr.Berg, you are my favorite Doctor on youtube and I am soo happy when you share some remedies which rooted in Asia. Because those are the ones that I usually learn from my mom.
I ate it a few minutes ago 😂. Curcumin is poorly absorbed, but what people forget, is that it works local in the gut... So it works for the whole Body indirectly.
Turmeric and Ginger are both strong ANTI-FUNGALS and may have local effect on gut by their action on fungal biofilms.
Thank you so much for your videos. Was diagnosed with a liver condition and arthritis. Been taking tinkering milk with black pepper, cinnamon, lemon tea. My health has improved. 😊
Curcumin also helps with arthritis, not sure of any impact on the liver though.
He’s made other great videos to help with liver conditions ❤
My CA 19-9 blood test values - which are markers for varied cancers - are low because of the turmeric and black pepper. I'm 63 and thankfully last in the hospital in January 1965 for a tonsillectomy.
Yes, G-d is behind me.
Turmeric is probably the primary spice you ll find in every household in southern India. You ll find Cloth bags dipped in diluted turmeric being used as return gift bags in marriage events etc. believed to be able to cleanse a lot of things.

It's too bad that in southern India they use a lot of seed oils which is killing so many people.
Not only Southern India, turmeric is used daily in every household in India.
@@shilpadhodapkar8223 Seed oils are killing people in south India. In the north they use Ghee and butter.
The termeric won't help the people consuming seed oils.
@@adelarsen9776 it's not seed oils. It's refined seed oils that's a problem. Many South indians especially from tamil nadu use wood pressed oils ( Peanut, Coconut and Sesame) which are actually healthy.
Thank you, Dr. Eric.
In India, we use turmeric literally everywhere :D) Though we have 1000s of food recipes all over India, I doubt if there is any without turmeric as ingredient. From East to West, North to South, turmeric rules India! You could see even in the poojas. Women uses it in the skincare too. Wedding threads are drenched in turmeric!! Turmeric is considered so divine, obviously as it possesses a great healing and protective. I suggest if anyone takes milk at night, take it with a bit of turmeric and crushed pepper.
Happy living :)
I love curry! Do you grow your own turmeric?
No most people don't grow their own turmeric.
With all those beneficial spices in India yet their life expectancy is only 70 years😅😅😅
@@DrAdityaReddy Its a beautiful plant easy to grow as a house plant
@@powerguiller I noticed alot of Indian foods are fried.
Thank you Dr. Berg. I was diagnosed with early spondylosis which is a pain in the lower back. The pain was excruciating for years but during the covid lockdown I took fresh tumeric juice and woke up with zero pain. I take it everyday to this day and never had back pain again.
OMG SAME HERE!!! My doctor can't believe it!!!😉
Spondylosis is FAR more than just a pain in the low back! It's also an instability in the spine structure. That's amazing you have gotten so much relief! congratulations!
Please take care of it and learn all about your muscles and strengthen to protect your spine. best of wishes
Can u plz tell me how u took it ... Did u add other ingredients to it .... Plzzzzz help
Having tumeric every day. Mainly using organic powder. I use the root when in season. In juices, tea and golden mylk. Have it with a little bit of coconut oil and black pepper in all the drinks. Also occasionally in curry. Everything in my house is now stained yellow 😅
It helped with my children's eczema flare-ups as well, when mixed up with coconut oil.Try it Dr Berg with green tea and freshly ground cardamom. It will take teatime into another level ☕😍
How did you give it to your child? I'm having this problem,was it through tea and with pepper in the tea. How long did it also take to clear up?
@@aliendemiks No actually is was used topically on my child's arm: coconut oil and minced turmeric 50/50. Don't add the pepper cause it's topical
@@sabrinaandhusband7791 thank you
@@aliendemiks no prob 😊
@@sabrinaandhusband7791 to help allow the body to heal even more, it is even better to permanently eliminate bad gluten (wheat, barley, and rye) and cow milk (meant for baby cows). There are over 315 different health issues for which bad gluten is the common denominating factor, including eczema.
In winters, we make a dish out of fresh turmeric. We make it with Desi ghee. The quantity of ghee and turmeric should be ideally equal. First grate the fresh turmeric, then add it into the pan. Add salt, chilli powder, green chilli and green peas. Sauté a little. Cover n cook for 10 minutes. Done! We eat it in less quantity along with other dishes.
Awesome 🤩 thanks ❤
very high in oxalate use 2 lemons every 10 grams of fresh turmeric and its a blood thinner strong
But one does not generally consume it in large amounts.
I got some and have planted them. So here’s hoping they grow. I also grate them on my salads.
Another excellent video explained in a way that’s easy to understand and explain to others! Thank you
Good stuff. If you're eating them like Dr. Berg just be sure to have an extra toothbrush (one you don't care about) ready for teeth and tongue. While yellow at first some actually use turmeric as teeth whitening, so the yellow/orange teeth is nothing to be alarmed about, but something to be aware of. You can't just eat them like that and then leave the house.
Turmeric has been part of my daily life for years. I’m so grateful for it❤
Neat. So many superfoods to fight off cancer. It’s like it was easily preventable back then because people actually ate naturally to stay healthy and fight off many health risks that they could develop. Fantastic video Dr Berg
At what age did they die? In the past I bet they seldom lived past 50 years.
Now with a modern healthcare system (and advanced space program) in India life expectancy is 70 years. Life expectancy in Europe is 80 years. America 77 years (the biggest importer of turmeric in the world and worst healthcare system of the western developed nations). Japan 84 years. UK 81 years. China 78 years.
@@fibber2u yeah many of those who died from anything other than old age lived longer and being susceptible to diseases doesn’t equal anything about a health issue but that is something you aren’t really looking into. Many who actually took after their health and lived well enough to maintain themselves without being susceptible to precarious predicaments lived well past their 80s to even their 90s. Modern medicine just made it easier to fight against diseases which is something outside of maintaining health in your body
I take tumeric with black pepper and ginger just about daily. I didn't know about the white pepper.... interesting. I used to put ginger root in my healthy shakes. I should get that again, and tumeric root if I can find it. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Wow!!!!! I just successfully growing turmeric in my garden and it’s a lot … way too much to eat now I want to put in my smoothie 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Also Thai style grilled chickenwith turmeric is the best for keto recipe…Thank you
Great job.
@@truepatriots3860 … It is too strong to drink but I need lemon 🍋 juice a lot to make the smell much better. …..
Where do you get the plant for growing?
Turmeric does help with inflammation and to boost the immune system. Thank you for the detailed explanation, Doc.
When my children started to catch cold and sore throat, they would be fed (yellow) beef soup with turmeric, known in Indonesia as Soto Madura. We alternate with (clear yellow) chicken soup with turmeric or Soto Ayam Bening + vegetables and regular chicken soup with vegetables and pork chinese style porridge. : )
Indonesia has not only *regular turmeric* , but also *white turmeric* and *black turmeric* . Regular turmeric _(curcuma domestica)_ is used for cooking Indonesian food and for making _jamu_ or Indonesian herbal medicine to maintain good physical health. White turmeric is not as popular as regular turmeric. It is usually used for cancer treatment here. There are three kinds of white turmeric known here on the island of Java: _curcuma zedoaria, curcuma mangga_ and _kaempferia rotunda_ . The black turmeric _(curcuma aeruginosa)_ is not popular, either. It is used to rid the body of threadworm infections. These three kinds of turmeric are sold in traditional markets throughout Indonesia. To buy white turmeric and black turmeric, however, people need to order first. The herbal ingredient seller needs time to get those roots because they are not popular.
Awesome info, I never knew about those type of turmeric's. Thanks for sharing.
@@illement7 If you have time, visit Indonesia (traditional markets on the island of Java). You can buy various kinds of medicinal roots, including red ginger, aromatic ginger, white turmeric and black turmeric. They are cheap, but very expensive in Europe. Indonesia is the paradise of herbal ingredients.
As u mention Red Ginger. My friend gave me some from Indonesia. The yellow ginger gives me heat ( in Chinese Medicine) it didnt do well on my body. Whenever i eat spicy food and yellow ginger the next day i wake up my mouth have this bitter taste due to too much heat in my body ) whenever i take the Red Ginger powder from Indonesia it didnt to that to my body. I take it often. I love red ginger from Indonesia. I also know young ginger more mild, but i dont see it here in Texas. Maybe i should grow some on my own, and i can make pickle gingers.
Thank you for your Very Sound Consult. From America Texas USA.
Side effect update: turmeric/curcumin is a potent blood thinner! You may not want to use if you are already taking blood thinners. I had a hemorrhoid that wouldn't stop bleeding until I stopped taking it. Agree with all of the benefits listed, but know your body and beware of drug interactions.
It also can negatively effect chemotherapy drugs.
Very good point, thank you.
Yes, under certain conditions it does have side effect.
I don't understand why did he choose to say there are no side effects, Curcumin is used to herbal medicine, it's too strong for everyone, you need to know about your medical condition and get your dose amount right before you use it as daily supplement.
@@shathaway13 but he just said it is good for people under chemotherapy. Are talking from personal experience?
@@shathaway13 Same with vitamin C and other great antioxidants, because it goes after the chemo poison.
Lots of people loves the doctor, and his precious works , more than you think of! Thank you Doctor for all necessary knowledge and guidance for healthy human life! We all deserve to know this information!
Thank you very much doctor ❤
Have a blessed weekend and working week!
Very glad to be of help.
Great video on turmeric. One small note: Insulin can't be more sensitive itself. It's the insulin-receptors on cells that get more sensitive towards insulin.
