CURCUMIN On the Cutting Edge of Cancer Support and Prevention.
I
t is now widely accepted that cancer cells grow in our bodies
every day. It is our diets, the strength of our immune systems, our nutritional status, the environment we are exposed to (collectively known as the “terrain”) that determines how
and if the battle against cancer is won or lost.
One of the most promising natural substances ever studied for cancer support and prevention is curcumin. Curcumin possesses several active components which form the backbone of its anti-cancer and anti- infl ammatory properties. As opposed to most chemotherapies that are designed to inhibit only one or two pathways for cancer growth and development, curcumin targets more than ten of the causative factors involved in cancer growth and spread, and inhibits—or favorably modulates—many other elements involved in cancer growth, spread and recurrence. This multi-modal anti-cancer activity is generating much excitement in the integrative medical community. Blocking only one pathway for cancer growth can assist in both preventing and treating cancer,

but curcumin’s ability to block so many different pathways is proving to be a huge breakthrough in the battle against this diffi cult disease. Because of this curcumin has been generating a lot of excitement in the research community in recent years for its potential to both prevent and treat cancer. In fact, curcumin has appeared in the global scientifi c literature over 240 times in the past year alone, and a search of Pub Med, the largest single source of published research in the world, will bring up over 2180 citations involving curcumin and cancer.
In keeping with our cutting edge, evidence-based approaches to integrative cancer patient support and our Cancer Patient Quality of Life Program, Whole Family Healthcare is pleased to be able to offer a novel, nutritionally-based therapy to support patients with cancer which uses curcumin in both oral and intravenous forms to strongly support patients with cancer, infl ammatory conditions such as arthritis, and even Alzheimers. In human cancers, based on published literature, curcumin doses in the range of 3600 mg per day have been shown to induce the following anti-cancer effects:
Arrested stem cell development. Cancer stem cells, which originate in the bone marrow, are responsible for repairing and replacing virtually all dead and dying cells, tissues and organs in the body. It is now confi rmed that the transformation and maturation process for stem cells as they morph into the identical cell to the organ or tissue they are replacing, is the vulnerable window where the cancer initiation process begins. Curcumin has been shown to stop the growth
