Turmeric, Ginger, and Inflammation
Spice Medicine and Oxygen - PART II

In my experience, turmeric and ginger are the safest and most potent anti-inflammatory spices. Both spices are also quite inexpensive if purchased properly (cost comparisons are included in this article) . In the first part of this series, I mentioned that in my clinical work with patients with the common cold, I find turmeric — one-half teaspoon taken with vegetable or grapefruit juice three times a day — more effective than other spice remedies. Turmeric, as well as ginger, are my highest priorities in the care of people with anti-inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.

My interest in tumeric was aroused some decades ago when one day I absent-mindedly asked my wife why she uses turmeric when cooking her curries. "Because they last longer with it than without it," she had replied in a matter-of-fact way. Intrigued by that comment, I conducted some experiments with very weak solutions of tumeric. I found out that extremely weak solutions of that spice added to freshly prepared smears of blood of chronically ill patients can break up plasma and blood clots. Comparative experiments conducted with a weak solution of ginger yielded similar results. In earlier published studies, I had reported similar observations made with weak solutions of vitamins C and E, as well as taurine, an antioxidant.

Both turmeric and ginger are highly regarded by hakims (naturopathic physicians) in Pakistan. Of course, both spices have been used for the treatment of cancer (and many inflammatory and degenerative disorders) in Ayurveda and in traditional Chinese medicine since antiquity. My colleagues at the Institute and I have validated the empirical findings of the ancients concerning the effectiveness of those two remedies in many clinical disorders. In November 2005, I came across a paper written by the distinguished professor Bharat B. Aggarwal and his colleagues at the Cytokine Research Laboratory of The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. They reported that curcumin — an active ingredient of turmeric — exerts its beneficial effects by changing the activities of a broad range of biologic mediators of inflammatory and healing responses.* The important bioactive substances in turmeric and ginger include those involved with:

1. Oxygen homeostasis;
2. The death of cancer cells by a process called apoptosis;
3. Enzymes of crucial importance in the immune system;
4. The metabolism of essential fatty acids; and
5. Various other healing responses.

During an interview with Professor Aggarwal on my program entitled "Science, Health, and Healing" on WBAI radio, New York (heard on-line at noon on Mondays and Tuesdays at www.wbai.org) on January 2006, I learned that turmeric is now being used in clinical trials at the M.D. Anderson Center for multiple myeloma and cancer of various organs, including those of the breast, lung, and colon. I present some salient aspects of the clotting and unclotting factors of interest in the treatment of cancer in detail in my book The Crab, Oxygen, and Cancer and in an article entitled "Cancerization/De-Cancerization Conflicts."

Ginger

Fresh ginger is sold in grocery stores is recognized as the beige-colored and knotted underground stem (rhizome) of the plant Zingiber officinale. It is a native plant in Asia where it has been used as a culinary spice for nearly 5,000 years. Like turmeric, ginger has a long history of medicinal uses in the ancient Asian medical traditions for treating a host of disorders, including gastrointestinal disorders (nausea, digestive-absorptive disorders, diarrhea, motion sickness, nausea of pregnancy, and others), arthritis, heart disease, headache, and chronic infections. All those disorders are now recognized as inflammatory in nature (See my book Integrative Immunology, the fourth volume of The Principles and Practice of Integrative Medicine.) In practice, ginger remedies are used as extracts, tinctures, and oils (and now in capsules). At present ginger is found in a variety of beverages and foods, including ginger water, ginger ale, ginger bread, ginger snaps, and ginger sticks. Gingerol is a well-characterized bioactive ingredient of ginger.

Cost Issues

It pays to be aware of the cost of packaging. I did not realize the enormous differences in the cost of various packaged spices. That changed when I checked the prices of the turmeric and ginger bought at grocery stores against those purchased in capsule form from health food stores. Below, I present what I discovered:

Turmeric

Turmeric powder 200-grams box for $1.50
400-grams bottle for $2.50
Turmeric caps $24 for 120 caps (450 mg in a capsule)

For the suggested daily dose of 1/2 tsp twice daily (total dose 4,000 mg) , the powder cost me 6 cents, whereas an equivalent amount of the spice purchased as capsules from a health food store cost $2.40.

Ginger

Ginger root $2.85 per pound from a grocery store
Ginger caps $ 8.00 for 100 caps (500 mg) from a health food store

For the suggested daily dose of 1/2 tsp twice daily, ginger root cost me 2 cents, whereas an equivalent amount of the spice purchased as capsules from a health food store cost 64 cents.

I might point out here that not all valuable nutrient factors can be used in their raw form. Let us take for example of the intake of vitamin C via oranges. A 100-gram orange contains 53 mg of vitamin C but it also contains 10.6 grams of sugar. Thus, taking 530 mg of vitamin C by eating oranges will also bring in 106 grams of sugar. That amount of sugar is a totally unacceptable load of sugar regardless of any clinical benefits of 530 mg of vitamin C might have for any given person.

I close this article by re-stating what I said in the first article of thise series: Spices should not be taken in therapeutic doses daily for extended periods of time. Thus, a weekly rotation of turmeric and ginger in the recommended doses is appropriate as a general guideline. Both spices, of course, can be taken concurrently for up to four weeks for acute inflammatory and infectious processes.

RDA Rats, Drugs and Assumptions ISBN 1-879131-07-2 A book that challenges most of the cherished assumptions of drug medicine. It lays bare many of the deceptions in medical statistics - most of them intended, it seems. It shows how results of valid medical research are deliberately distorted to promote long-term use of drugs of dubious value. It exposes the deep prejudice of practitioners of drug medicine against natural, non-toxic drug therapies. This book clearly delineates the scientific basis of energetic-molecular events that cause disease, and shows how accelerated oxidative injury to human enzyme systems - comprised of energy, detoxification and digestive enzymes - is the cause of all disease processes. Furthermore, it describes how oxidative enzyme injury leads to disruptions of the bowel, blood and other body organ ecosystems.

What Do Lions Know About Stress ISBN 1-879131-10-2 Trade Paperback 550 pages "Our leaders in business and politics need to learn about stress - and Ali's lions have some valuable lessons for them! Professor Julio Sotelo, Cornell University Medical College, New York A Different View of Stress A physician does his most worthy work when he participates in his patient's suffering. In participating in their suffering, my patients with severe, chronic stress have given me two insights. First, the common notion of stress being fight-or-flight response to a demand for change is so inadequate as to be clinically irrelevant. Second, spirituality makes psychology irrelevant. In this volume, I include many true-to-life stories of my patients and describe the energetic-molecular basis of their suffering. I relate how long hours of listening to them led me to conclude that the popular notion of mind-over-body healing is a cruel joke, and, in essence, pours salt on their wounds. I also recognized that the prevailing practice of searching for relief of the agony of the present through 'working out the problems of the past' is little more than a cortical trap-the mind endlessly recycles past pain or recycles feared, future misery. Psychology, by and large, keeps us incarcerated in obsolete models of disease and sufferings. Spirituality set us free.

The Canary and Chronic Fatigue Chronic Fatigue sufferers are human canaries--unique people who tolerate poorly the biologic oxidative stressors of the late 20th century. They are genetically predisposed to injury and their energy and detoxification enzymes by agents in their internal and external environments. Their molecular defenses are damaged by undiagnosed and unmanaged allergies, chemical sensitivities, environmental pollutants, microbes, sugar-insulin-adrenaline roller coasters, stress and hostility of sped up lives. Under their skin, they carry oxidative storms--the Fourth of July chemistry. This book offers information and guidance about nondrug therapies that do work for the fatigue sufferer as well as the professional.
