Pure Chiropractic Highlights Curcumin's Benefit for Neurological Diseases
4000 years of use. That is quite a history! Curcumin owns it. (Chiropractic enjoys 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 influence it makes on disease. And there’s a difference! Curcumin as an anti-inflammatory substance is gaining recognition for positive influence on neurological diseases, cell death, and pain. Pure Chiropractic continues to study curcumin’s beneficial role in possible inflammation and Concord, NC back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin has a long history of use over 4000 years (1) yet a shorter history of use currently for its ability to modulate levels of a variety of brain neurotransmitters in addition to preventing cell death. Curcumin affects inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and enzymes. (2) Back in 2010 researchers posited that curcumin may well be a “future drug of therapy for the treatment of various neurological disorders.” Diabetic neuropathy, tardive dyskinesia, and major depression are a few of those such orders. They called for additional clinical studies back then to put 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 contribute to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to slow or halt reactive astrocyte expression and thereby preventing cell death is advantageous. (3) Your Concord, NC chiropractor knows the role of cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and appreciates the potential curcumin has in addressing cell death and decreasing inflammation and thus decreasing Concord, NC back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the best way to integrate curcumin for maximal benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A curcumin rich diet is reported to counteract diseases like cancer and diabetes as well as decrease inflammation. A new report on curcumin brings to light the role of curcumin in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and more). In an effort to effect more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the researchers present the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes of using curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Pure Chiropractic realizes many Concord, NC chiropractic patients would like the simpler supplementation route which is quite simple and effective. Pure Chiropractic will share what is right for you and your Concord, NC chiropractic treatment plan.
