8 Ways Turmeric Help Cancer Patients

If you have read our previous blog posts, you know how powerful turmeric alone can be--and add in the other superfoods in TumiBee--you have a powerhouse drink to arm you daily!

Numerous clinical studies on turmeric's effect on cancer have shown promising results--with more clinical trials in session.  Turmeric has earned superfood status recently, and rightfully so.

Below are 8 profound findings scientists have discovered:

• Research shows that curcumin found in turmeric has a role in inhibiting cancer growth and in killing cancer cells by helping to reduce growth of new blood vessels inside of growing tumors.
• Curcumin also has the ability to kill cancer cells without harming normal healthy cells. 
• Studies in breast cancer patients found turmeric helped to inhibit secondary cancer growths and movement of breast cancer cells to the lung (metastasis).
• Clinical research found when turmeric was combined with chemotherapy, turmeric made treatment more effective.
• Turmeric helps to protect healthy cells from radiation dermatitis (damage to outer skin layers due to radiation) during radiotherapy.
• Chronic inflammation is an underlying cause for many chronic illnesses, including cancer.  Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory which helps cells remain intact and healthy.  See our previous blog posts for an in-depth look on how turmeric works to inhibit inflammation.
• Clinical studies have found turmeric to inhibit certain enzymes that cause hyper inflammation in the body due to overactive immune responses to environmental factors (pollution, stress, processed unhealthy food intake, etc).
• Countries like India where turmeric is consumed daily have a lower rate of cancer, suggesting daily consumption is a powerful preventative.

Although this is not a comprehensive list of all the benefits of turmeric for cancer patients (nor a scientific article), we felt a summary of some of the findings was important to share. We encourage our readers to research various clinical studies and trials currently in process to get a deeper look into the science of the research. 

In the meantime, drink your TumiBee daily and make it a part of your preventative health routine so that you can live the golden life!
