Turmeric as a Healing Spice, from the Okinawa Program

This 2001 book, The Okinawa Program by Bradley J. Willcox, M.D., D. Craig Willcox, Ph. D., and Makoto Suzuki, M.D., is based upon the 25-year-long Okinawa Centenarian Study. It is one of my favorite diet and health books.

Turmeric has recently garnered respect and much publicity as a medicinal plant from the ginger family. The qualities of turmeric are not news to the famously long-living people of Okinawa, as related on page 149:

Excerpt:

Ucchin, or Turmeric M-J’s pronunciation note: TER-mer-ick

(Curcuma longa, Jiang Huang, Curcuma, Indian saffron, Ukon, Valerian)

Ucchin, commonly known in North America as turmeric,  is one of the Okinawans’ favorite herbs (as it is in India), and claims a multitude of health benefits. It’s known as ukon to the Japanese….

Folkloric Claims

Turmeric is from the ginger family. The stalk of the plant is the part most commonly used in both herbal and traditional medicine, and is the part that provides the distinctive yellow-orange powder that adds flavor and color to curry. It was probably brought to Okinawa centuries ago from India, which had active trade relations with the Ryukyu Kingdom (as Okinawa was formerly known). In Ayurvedic medicine…turmeric is thought to strengthen the immune system, relieve inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, improve digestion, relieve gas, killl parasites and worms, alleviate menstrual problems, dissolve gallstones, and relieve other ailments. The Okinawans are in full accord with these claims, and highly prize their turmeric.

Excerpt, page 150

Turmeric possesses significant antioxidant properties, comparable to that of vitamins E or C, which is probably why it proves powerful against cancer. The American Institute for Cancer Research has reported some degree of inhibition for cancers of the GI tract, including oral, esophageal, stomach, and colon cancers. And, there is further evidence for its effectiveness against breast and skin cancers.

Apocalyptic Depression and Unrest Coming

I’ve been gently warning about this for two years, and suggesting that citizens prepare for disaster. The economy is going to get much worse after the tax-base dwindles, a condition spawned by trillions in frivolous spending in the last nine months, combined with a health-care monstrosity that will punish small business out-of-existence and force all Americans to buy “insurance” that guarantees them nothing but strife. And the fertile valleys in California whence a great percentage of American produce came are going fallow because of an effort to “save” an inconsequential minnow. People need saving, as do the farmers whose tradition and economy has been shut down in California. The EPA, or Environmental Protection Agency, was founded by Republican president Richard M. Nixon. It has since perverted its original mission, and has become a body of insane fascists who care nothing for their fellow citizens.
I despair…and hereby present to you a chilling opinion-piece by the news editor of World Net Daily.
