The turmeric root has been a stellar botanical in both Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine for centuries, and has finally gained the recognition in science and medicine it deserves. Curcumin is the active compound of tumeric. It is what gives it its many health benefits.

As I write this, there are scores of human clinical trials taking place on the health benefits of curcumin for a plethora of health concerns.

If you’ve been wondering if curcumin should be a part of your daily supplement regimen, study what these experts in natural health and medicine have to say. I think you’ll be impressed.

Three Health Experts Praise Curcumin

Ajay Goel, PhD

When you have credentials like Dr. Ajay, people listen. He is the Director of the Center for Gastrointestinal Research and Director of the Center for Epigenetics, Cancer Prevention and Cancer Genomics at Baylor Research Institute and Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center at the prestigious Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas.

He is also one of the top scientists in the world researching botanical interventions!

Dr. Ajay has contributed to 192 articles in PubMed, but there are 13 articles specifically on the benefits of curcumin. Here are just a few highlights:

Take 15 minutes to hear Dr. Ajay discuss the merits of curcumin in this interview with The Natural Medicine Journal. It’s time well spent.

Jacob Teitlebaum, MD

Dr. Teitlebaum is the Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Holistic Medicine, Director of the Center for Effective CFIDS/Fibromyalgia Therapies, and Medical Director of Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers. A nationally known expert in fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, pain and sleep, Dr. Teitlebaum has made many appearances on popular media programs like Good Morning America, CNN, Fox News, Dr. Oz and Oprah & Friends.

Dr. Teitlebaum has himself suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia, and through his own research, discovered alternative treatments not known to mainstream medicine. He has since dedicated his life to help those suffering from CFS and fibromyalgia.

So you can imagine someone with his background might know a few things about supplements that work – and those that don’t!

In an article from Taste for Life on The Power of Curcumin Dr. T said:

The only form that I will use is the one called BCM-95, which increases absorption approximately 700 percent by adding in turmerone oils. I suggest usage of 500 milligrams twice a day for depression or 750-1,500 milligrams twice a day for those with cancer.

In this video, Dr. T talks about natural pain management.
