How do you incorporate it into your diet? I used to eat a ton of it when I was 90%+ raw and would lightly steam broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus... but ever since I went 100% raw I haven't really found a way to utilize it, especially with black pepper since it significantly increases the absorption of curcumin.

As I just said I take it in a tonic.

bruising could be caused by low lysine (aminoacid from protein) or calcium. These two can affect the tissue strength

I am aware of that and other factors that can cause bruising. The bruising went away when I cut down on the turmeric. Problem solved.

"I was up to 73.9% fat"
Really?
What are the advantages of a high fat diet. Totally counter intuitive, un reasonable

Really.

I've already posted much on this. Even in this very thread.


> Totally counter intuitive, un reasonable

That's what I thought, too. Then I actually put it to the test and was surprised how well it worked for me.

How do you explain that it works

By posting how it works. I have posted how it works many times.

If you are wanting to obtain the therapeutic benefits or just looking to supplement your diet with a bioavailable turmeric supplement then Curcumin X4000 is probably one, if not the best on the market.

That is one of several things someone with a compromised liver or is on a very low fat diet might want to take. With adequate liver function and fat intake the cucumin in turmeric is readily bioavailable. It is fat soluble. I have found that it is so absorbable that the pigment tint can be seen under the skin when enough is consumed. Reminds me of the time way back in the past when I drank a lot of carrot juice.

Another alternative to help cucumin absorption for people with compromised livers and/or are on very low fat diets would be to skip very expensive encapsulated standardized turmeric packaged with phosphatidylcholine and just take turmeric with a little sunflower lecithin or even - horror of horrors, coconut oil.

jaundice (yellow color on the white of the eyes and skin) can be a sign of liver problems (malfunction).



Other symptoms of liver problems are:

easy bleeding
nausea
loss of appetite
fatigue
diarrhea
swollen abdomen
mental disorientation
sleepiness

fo liver problems, the McDougall diet (cooked low fat vegan - no oils) works

Ha!

Is this really effective. It is so strange that in regions of the world where turmeric is consumed the problems it was supposed to solve are getting worse (liver and kidney problems).
I guess maybe it is not properly used. Many of these products loose their effectiveness when cooked.

I think in India where turmeric is heavily consumed, Alzheimer's is almost non-existent. Turmeric with coconut oil would seem to be one of the most potent combinations for preventing and reversing this ugly disease (which I believe is just simply heavy metal toxicity).

That is very good, the medical community world wide should take notice.

Why would they do that, cures don't create customers. Why would they tell you that you can prevent and reverse Alzheimer's by doing something as easy as consuming turmeric and coconut oil? They wouldn't be able to have millions of people on useless drugs that only further exacerbate the problem and feed their profits if they knew that.

At least there are few good ones, the Sanjay Gupta of the world.
Well I will add turmeric to my diet. I get to find the best source.
Are there any raw turmeric suppliers. Things that are sold in bottle are most of the time manipulated and even when the source is good over time as demand grows, the supply quality goes down, other things are added to make more money

This is where I get mine: [www.rawguru.com]

Great thanks. I will order mine

Another alternative to help absorption is to make your own liposomal nutrients in your very own kitchen. It seems silly and unnecessary to me. But then I take in enough stone ground living oils and whole food fats to absorb nutrients without wrapping them up...

For those who would rather buy the pricey encapsulated liposomal nutrients you might want to email their sellers to get it in writing that they are not using soy products which are mostly GMO. Chances are that is what they are using.

I highly recommend this brand of powdered turmeric. You can also buy it 2 lb.'s at a time to get a price break like I do. This is the only brand I have found that a T of in a quart jar doesn't taste 'off'.

[www.amazon.com]

The best place I have found to order raw turmeric online is here...

[www.indianblend.com]

Don't forget to try their white turmeric and they also have good saffron at very reasonable prices. Saffron is important to take, too, IMO.

Thanks, I prefer the raw turmeric, raw is most of the time better.
How do you use it raw? in juices or smoothies?

I like to put it in my raw cold soups where the staining power of raw turmeric is less problematic. I use dried turmeric in my daily tonic that contains it because I've found that raw turmeric in it makes me have to brush my teeth a long time to get the stains off of them and I'm usually not at home when I drink it. The powdered works well, too, luckily.

I put powdered tumeric in my salt, along with pepper and powdered garlic. Its home made adobo seasoning, without the msg. I do add some kelp too. From Iceland.

Suez, I agree with you on hflc diet, our institute is doing this diet for almost 40 years , relying primarily on coconut for more than 800 calories of daily need, I wonder how body process that much saturated fat , almost 3 time of DV but it works and I too follow it blindly (may be Tavis is correct, Dr Brian and TSM needs to give a considerable thought on this, I am living on tropical climate, I am not sure , whether it would work for North American continent people. It had really healed chronic illness, I have seen it with my own eyes.

Thanks, for posting this info, Ramanan.

I feel like I am getting a whole body oil change right down to every cell's lipid bilayers! Do you feel that way,too?
