Curcumall® for Pain and Arthritis

Curcumall® for Pain and Arthritis

A few weeks ago I got a phone call from Henry, a well known physical therapist who massages and treats many of my patients who suffer from arthritic pain. Henry told me that three months earlier he experienced pains in his joints and especially in his hands and gradually his hand joints were so swollen and stiff and the pain was so sever that he had to stop treating patients and closed down his clinic. Being familiar with anti-inflammatory drugs and their side-effects, Henry decided to avoid drugs and try the dietary supplement Curcumall®.
After a week of intake of Curcumall® (3 times daily), he realized to his amazement that the swelling and pains went gradually away. He continued with Curcumall® for another 10 days and reopened his clinic. Now Henry continues taking Curcumall® once daily as a preventive measure against reoccurrence of pain and inflammation.

Arthritis is caused by continuous inflammation, which is a result from the body's immunological response to tissue damage. Continuous inflammation leads to a variety of chronic conditions like arthritis and its associated pain.

Lack of success to alleviate pain with the available therapeutic treatments, has lead the medical research to look for natural agents like turmeric that can serve as therapy to inflammatory pain. Turmeric and its active ingredient curcumin have been known for centuries to assist in alleviating pain. But the effectiveness of oral supplementation with turmeric/ curcumin has been limited due to poor absorption. Curcumall® the natural liquid extract of turmeric and curcumin C3, is well absorbed through the digestive tract and was found to be effective against pain, including muscle pain, lower back pain, osteo-arthritic pain and nerve pain.

Curcumin has been found to regulate numerous molecular targets and pathways that are linked to inflammation . The natural anti-inflammatory activity of curcumin is comparable in strength to steroidal drugs without the side effects of the later.

Moreover, recent data by Professor Bharat Aggarwal (2008), suggests that due to its anti-inflammatory properties, curcumin plays a major role in the prevention and treatment of various chronic diseases like cardiovascular, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative diseases. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6TCH-4SY6W9P-1&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_searchStrId=941968035&_rerunOrigin=scholar.google&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=b425fd2837429f29c27d6f5e8a37bbe8

Dr. Janet Funk and her colleagues from the University of Arizona, have determined the in vivo efficacy of turmeric extracts in the prevention and treatment of arthritis.

The results of their research were published in "Arthritis and Rheumatism", the journal of the American College of Rheumatology, March 2006
The study also showed that as well as preventing joint inflammation, the extract of curcumin helps prevent bone loss. This finding has been investigated in another study by Funk to determine whether turmeric can prevent bone loss in women before menopause.
Curcumin's anti-inflammatory activity was researched earlier in a 1986 double-blind controlled study that evaluated curcumin's anti-inflammatory action in comparison with phenylbutazone. The study found that curcumin was as effective as phenylbutazone in reducing inflammation.

Curcumall® may therefore be the preferable solution for those who are suffering from pain. In addition to the high concentration of liquid curcumin C3, Curcumall® provides an extract of the whole turmeric rhizome as we believe that turmeric contains additional components that contribute to health. Curcumall® also includes an extract of ginger, whose active ingredient gingerol, is also known for its anti-inflammatory action. Depending on the severity of pain, it is recommended to take Curcumall® 2-3 times daily for two weeks and go down to twice a day for another 3-4 weeks. If there is a significant improvement in swelling and pain, one may continue the intake of Curcumall® once daily, as a preventive measure. The syrup of Curcumall® is well absorbed and was found to be very effective. Always, take a teaspoon of Curcumall® in a glass of water on an empty stomach (half an hour before meal or two hours after meal).
