Do you suffer from allergies and inflammation? Let's take a closer look at your food and water sources.

It's no secret our food and water supply contain chemicals, herbicides, and pesticides. This causes allergies and internal inflammation. Our joints and organs suffer the most because of it.

Drinking clean, alkaline, and antioxidant water that your body absorb is imperative. Supplementing this with one of the oldest natural healers in the world is better. And that's wild turmeric. The use of it dates back 4,000 years in the Vedic culture in India. Turmeric is a potent:

  • Antioxidant

  • Anti-inflammatory

  • Anti-mutagenic

  • Antimicrobial

  • Anticancer

As an antioxidant, turmeric scavenges free radicals and increases antioxidant enzymes. It also hinders lipid degradation due to oxidation. Studies suggest turmeric protects against oxidative stress in a renal cell line.

As an anti-inflammatory, turmeric inhibits inflammatory mediators, such as PGE2 and cytokines. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a principal mediator of inflammation. Cytokines is a group category of small proteins important in cell signaling. There are inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines.

As an anti-mutagenic, turmeric inhibits produced by direct-acting mutagens such as:

  • N-methyl N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine - potent mutagenic substance for e-coli, salmonella, and more

  • Sodium azide - a chemical used in car airbags, agriculture, and more

  • 2-acetamidofluorene - a crystalline solid used to study the mutagenicity of aromatic amines

As an antimicrobial, turmeric inhibits histamine-producing bacteria. Turmeric also inhibits food borne pathogens.

As an anticancer, turmeric inhibits cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis of cancer cells. It exhibits activity against the development of:

  • Skin cancer

  • Breast cancer

  • Oral cancer

  • Stomach cancer

Based on all the evidence, it's no wonder hundreds of generations have use it. In my case, I experience it's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. As an antioxidant, I noticed my blood pressure is lower than it ever has. As an anti-inflammatory, my joints move and feel better. I also use wild turmeric as a post-workout supplement. This helps reduce the workout-induced inflammation at the joints and muscles.
