4000 years of use. That’s quite
a history! Curcumin claims it. (Chiropractic delights
in its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern
countries like China and India offers much data
to researchers to study just what an impact
it makes on disease. And there is a difference! Curcumin as an anti-inflammatory
substance is gaining credit
for positive effect on neurological diseases, cell death, and
pain. Wilson Family Chiropractic remains interested in curcumin’s beneficial role in possible inflammation
and Millville back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin has a long
history of usage over 4000 years (1) yet a briefer
history of use in present day for its ability to modulate
levels of a variety of brain neurotransmitters in addition to preventing
cell death. Curcumin influences inflammatory cytokines, growth factors,
and enzymes. (2) Back in 2010 researchers speculated
that curcumin may well be a “future drug of therapy for the
treatment of various neurological disorders.” Diabetic neuropathy, tardive
dyskinesia, and major depression are among those such orders.
They requested additional clinical
studies back then to put curcumin into therapeutic use due
to its “neuroprotective action” in diseases like Alzheimer’s, tardive dyskinesia,
major depression, epilepsy, and other such neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric
disorders. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may add
to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to slow or halt
reactive astrocyte expression and thus preventing cell death is beneficial.
(3) Your Millville chiropractor understands the role of
cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and values
the potential curcumin has in dealing with
cell death and decreasing inflammation and thus decreasing
Millville back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the best way to incorporate
curcumin for greatest benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A
curcumin rich diet is written to offset diseases
like cancer and diabetes as well as decrease inflammation. A recent
report on curcumin reveals the role of curcumin in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular
atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple
sclerosis and more). In an effort to effect
more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the authors share
the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes regarding
the use of curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Wilson Family Chiropractic
realizes many Millville chiropractic patients will go the supplementation
route as it’s easy and effective. Wilson Family Chiropractic will share
what is right for you and your Millville chiropractic
treatment plan.
