Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic Highlights Curcumin's Benefit for Neurological Diseases
4000 years of consumption. That is some history! Curcumin owns it. (Chiropractic enjoys its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern countries like China and India provides much data to researchers to see just what an impact it makes on disease. And there’s a difference! Curcumin‘s anti-inflammatory ability is gaining credit for positive influence on neurological diseases, cell death, and pain. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic remains interested in curcumin’s positive role in possible inflammation and Montreal back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin possesses a long history of use over 4000 years (1) yet a shorter history of use currently for its ability to control levels of a variety of neurotransmitters in the brain as well as stopping 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 recommended more clinical studies back then to put curcumin into therapeutic use because of 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 stop reactive astrocyte expression and thereby preventing cell death is beneficial. (3) Your Montreal chiropractor understands the role of cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and appreciates the potential curcumin has in addressing cell death and reducing inflammation and thus reducing Montreal back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the best way to integrate curcumin for greatest 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 paper on curcumin reveals the role curcumin plays in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and more). To effect more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the researchers share the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes of using curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic realizes many Montreal chiropractic patients will go the supplementation route as it’s simple and effective. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic will share what is right for you and your Montreal chiropractic treatment plan.
