    While I’ve used this turmeric for 8 years with “happy” results (no pun intended) for its anti-inflammatory effects and truly amazing Alzheimer-prevention powers, I did not realize turmeric is also a painkiller and natural mood elevator of the first order!

    Root2 capsules of Turmeric Extract, C3-Complex with BioperineOne of the things I love about what I do here at Deep Roots at Home is coming across hard scientific research that points to the safety and efficacy of many of the herbs and plants we have available to us. In many ways, naturally-occurring remedies surpass pharmaceutical drugs especially when we consider the terrible side-effects pharmaceuticals are known for, especially antidepressants.

    Downsides of Big Pharma’s Anti-Depressants

    • May mask symptoms, and in many cases, create a life-long dependency on the drug.
    • Increases the likelihood that a depressed person, especially someone under 25 years old, will feel worse and even commit suicide.
    • Sexual dysfunction, reduced sex drive in both men and women, and impotence in men.
    • Increases the risk of prematurity in pregnancy and is associated with other birth defects, including autism, according to an article in the Archives of General Psychiatry.

    For many more side-effects, see Prozac Addiction. (Meanwhile even with the downsides, Big Pharma’s anti-depressant market alone shows annual profits hovering around $12 billion. This figure is predicted to jump to $13.5 billion by 2018).

    Landmark Clinical Trial: Turmeric (Curcumin) vs. Prozac

    Once again, research science has confirmed naturally-occurring remedies are best: an excellent recent study published in Phytotherapy Research says that not only is turmeric (curcumin) effective at treating depression, it may even be more effective than some of the most common anti-depressant drugs currently on the market. 

    While previous studies have, across the board, indicated the effectiveness of turmeric (curcumin) in treating serious depression, this study by researchers with the Department of Pharmacology of Government Medical College in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India, was the first randomized, controlled clinical trial of its kind. They compared the effects of turmeric and Prozac (fluoxetine), both used together and individually, in 60 patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD).

    “While this study indicates turmeric is equally effective as Prozac, it doesn’t account for the negative effects of Prozac, which boost turmeric’s value considerably. Prozac is known to cause “suicidal ideation or other psychotic disorders,” frightening side-effects that are clearly absent in turmeric use.” (source)

    Turmeric: The Most Important Herb?

    Indeed, turmeric turns the pharmaceutical-based medical model upside down. Instead of causing side-effects, as is the case for most patented pharmaceutical medications, turmeric possesses hundreds of potential side benefits, having been empirically established to positively modulate over 160 different physiological pathways in the body.

    Turmeric is truly unique in its exceptionally high margin of safety versus the drugs it has been compared with, such as hydrocortisone, ibuprofen, chemotherapy agents, and more.

    And nothing within the modern pharmaceutical medicine comes even remotely close to turmeric’s 3,000 year track record of safe use in other cultures. Plus it is readily available to us all…no Rx needed!

    Why Turmeric Will Never Get FDA Approval

    Despite its vast potential for healing, it will likely never receive FDA approval due to its lack of patentability and therefore profitability. Unless an investor is willing to risk losing the 800+ million dollars that must be spent upfront, the FDA-required multi-phased double-blind, randomized clinical trials will not occur.

    For additional details on this rather seedy arrangement read this article on the topic: Why The Law Forbids The Medicinal Use of Natural Substances.

    It is an interesting footnote in American history that shortly after the Declaration of Independence, Congress declared that natural substances, as in plants or minerals or water, were God’s gift to mankind and that products of nature should be limited in their patent protection. While this was a thoughtful declaration, it has actually been used against those whose rights it would protect.

    5000 + Recognized Scientific Studies Are Proof {Medical Database at Your Fingertips}

    YOU can search and review over 5,000 study abstracts on turmeric or curcumin from the National Library of Medicine’s bibliographic database PubMed, as well as over 600 potential health benefits of turmeric or its primary polyphenol known as curcumin.

    Some of the most amazing demonstrated properties include:

    • Destroying Cancer Stem Cells (arguably, the root of all cancer)
    • Protecting Against Radiation-Induced Damage 
    • Reducing Unhealthy Levels of Inflammation
    • Prevention and Treatment of Liver Disease and Liver Cancer
    • Preventing and Reversing Alzheimer’s Disease 

    SAFETY: When taking and cooking with turmeric, 2 PubMed studies (here and here) show total safety well over 6 grams per day.

    Consider the fact that this herb grows freely on earth and is available inexpensively to all, and you will understand why its very existence threatens billions of dollars in pharmaceutical industry revenue. Equipped with knowledge, consumers have the potential to undermine their goal of drugging America and the world.

    How I Take Turmeric

    Evidence: No-Side-Effect Turmeric Beats Prozac, Ibuprofen & More. , making my own capsules using organic turmeric with black pepper,

    Turmeric is one daily supplement in my medicine chest I will never stop taking. I use it one of 3 ways:

    1. I buy Turmeric Capsules pre-made and take 2-4/day when travelling or very busy
    2. I make my own golden paste.

    3. I make my own capsules with organic turmeric and black pepper using a capsule-filling machine.

    4. I make a special medicinal bulk tub 

    I’m so thankful there are safe and logical natural alternatives that do a fabulous job of helping our body to heal itself – all with no side effects.

    Warning:  Anyone on warfarin (Coumadin) or other anticoagulants should steer clear of turmeric or curcumin. Although this spice has anti-inflammatory properties, it also can magnify the effect of these anti-clotting medications. Doctors in the ‘system’ will always opt for the pharma comparable, so you will likely need to find a functional medical doctor who will be happy to work with you holistically to get you off all the meds!

    I believe we can save money and potentially untold grief by staying out of the health care system as we know it today.

    “Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases…who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” ~Ps. 103:2-5

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.
