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 fodder
to researchers to study just what an impact
it has on disease. And there’s a difference! Curcumin‘s
anti-inflammatory ability is finding credit
for positive influence on neurological diseases, cell death, and
pain. Hollstrom & Associates Inc remains interested in curcumin’s positive role in potential inflammation
and Largo back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin has a long
history of use over 4000 years (1) yet a briefer
history of use currently for its ability to modulate
levels of various brain neurotransmitters as well as preventing
cell death. Curcumin affects inflammatory cytokines, growth factors,
and enzymes. (2) Back in 2010 researchers suggested
that curcumin could 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 place 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 stop
reactive astrocyte expression and thus preventing cell death is beneficial.

cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and values
the potential curcumin possesses in dealing with
cell death and reducing inflammation and thereby reducing
Largo 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 reported to offset diseases
like cancer and diabetes as well as decrease inflammation. A new
paper on curcumin reveals the role
curcumin plays in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular
atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple
sclerosis and more). In order to effect
more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the authors share
the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes of using curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Hollstrom & Associates Inc
realizes many Largo chiropractic patients would like
the simpler supplementation route which is quite simple and effective. Hollstrom & Associates Inc will suggest
what’s right for you and your Largo chiropractic
treatment plan.
