[What is Ginseng]

In terms of modern scientific research, ginseng is known to be an adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances that assist the body to restore itself to health and work without side effects even if the recommended dose is widely exceeded.

Ginseng due to its adaptogens effects is widely used to lower cholesterol, increase energy and endurance, reduce fatique and effects of stress and prevent infections.

Ginseng is one of the most effective antiaging supplements. It can alleviate some major effects of aging, such as degeneration of the blood system, and increase mental and physical capacity.

Other important benefits of ginseng is its support in cancer treatment and its effects on sports performance.

DESCRIPTION: Randomized controlled trial comparing the safety and efficacy of drugs versus curcumin, the yellow pigment in the spice turmeric, for the treatment of autoimmune inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis.

Did you guess that’s what was on the cover of my latest DVD (https://nutritionfacts.org/2013/12/05/all-of-dr-gregers-dvds-now-downloadable)? Hard to appreciate the gorgeous color of fresh turmeric root unless you see it for yourself. You should be able to find it at any large Asian store. I incorporate it into my Natural Nausea Remedy Recipe (https://nutritionfacts.org/2013/05/28/dr-gregers-natural-nausea-remedy-recipe/). The inner color is almost fluorescent!

I’m afraid followers of NutritionFacts.org are going to get sick of turmeric, but there’s a load of important new research I felt I needed to cover. Next I’ll cover Turmeric Curcumin and Osteoarthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-osteoarthritis), then move to Boosting the Bioavailability of Curcumin (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin), and end (for now!) with a video on Who Shouldn’t Consume Curcumin or Turmeric (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-consume-curcumin-or-turmeric).

I’ve talked about treating autoimmune joint inflammation with diets full of plants in Diet & Rheumatoid Arthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/diet-rheumatoid-arthritis/) and Potassium and Autoimmune Disease (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/potassium-and-autoimmune-disease/).

If phenylbutazone sounds vaguely familiar, maybe you read my Q&A Is horse meat safe to eat? (https://nutritionfacts.org/questions/is-horse-meat-safe-to-eat/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-rheumatoid-arthritis/ and he’ll try to answer it!
