כורכום נגד סרטן

study published in the July 11th 2005 issue of Cancer magazine shows curcumin, a chemical pigment in turmeric, has promise fighting breast, colon, prostate AND pancreatic cancers. Researchers say that turmeric - a key spice in virtually all curries - contains a potent cancer-fighting agent that may eventually provide treatments for several hard-to-treat types of tumors. According to Bharat Aggarwal, a top researcher at the prestigious M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, he is excited about the effectiveness of curcumin against certain types of cancer. Dr. Aggarwal concluded in his report that "there is enough data to say it is very potent."

1: Cancer Lett. 2007 Apr 18 Curcumin for chemoprevention of colon cancer.Johnson JJ, Mukhtar H. University of Wisconsin, School of Pharmacy, 777 Highland Avenue, Madison, WI 53705-2222, USA; University of Wisconsin, School of Medicine AND Public Health, Department of Dermatology, 1300 University Avenue, Madison, WI 53706, USA. The most practical approach to reduce the morbidity AND mortality of cancer is to delay the process of carcinogenesis through the use of chemopreventive agents. This necessitates that safer compounds, especially those derived from natural sources must be critically examined for chemoprevention. A spice common to India AND the surrounding regions, is turmeric, derived from the rhizome of Curcuma longa. Pre-clinical studies in a variety of cancer cell lines including breast, cervical, colon, gastric, hepatic, leukemia, oral epithelial, ovarian, pancreatic, AND prostate have consistently shown that curcumin possesses anti-cancer activity in vitro AND in pre-clinical animal models. The robust activity of curcumin in colorectal cancer has led to five phase I clinical trials being completed showing the safety AND tolerability of curcumin in colorectal cancer patients. To date clinical trials have not identified a maximum tolerated dose of curcumin in humans with clinical trials using doses up to 8000mg per day. The success of these trials has led to the development of phase II trials that are currently enrolling patients. Overwhelming in vitro evidence AND completed clinical trials suggests that curcumin may prove to be useful for the chemoprevention of colon cancer in humans. This review will focus on describing the pre-clinical AND clinical evidence of curcumin as a chemopreventive compound in colorectal cancer.

רציתי להביא לידיעתך מידע על תוסף תזונה חדש ויחודי בשם כורכומול, שהוא מיצוי של כורכומין שהוא החמר הפעיל בכורכום. הכורכום ידוע כמסייע בריפוי דלקות, הורדת כולסטרול, ניקוי הכבד מרעלים, שיפור זכרון ואפילו כטיפול משלים בסרטן. כל אלה נבדקו במאות מחקרים רציניים במכוני המחקר המובילים בעולם. הבעיה היתה שכורכום כתבלין או בגלולות ספיגתו מוגבלת. המיצוי החדש פתר בעיה זו. פותח ע"י ד"ר מני רבינוביץ. הוגשה בקשה לפטנט. מחקר על הכורכומול יתחיל בקרוב בבית החולים הדסה עין כרם ובבית החולים וולפסון. מידע נוסף: www.curcumol.co.il הכורכומול נמכר בבתי טבע ובבתי מרקחת
