A promising breakthrough for the horrible , mind robbing disease called Alzheimers.
The really wonderful thing is that it could be something that is already in your home spice collection.

India produces nearly 100% of the world's turmeric, and consumes 90% of the total amount produced. It stands to reason that if India is unique in its low Alzheimer's Disease incidence, and it is unique in its consumption of turmeric, there may very well be a connection between consuming turmeric and preventing Alzheimer's.

In the Study that was published on July 16th in an online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researches from the David Geffen School of Medicine in Los Angeles and the Human BioMolecular Research Institute in San Diego looked at blood samples of Alzheimer's disease.

In this study they found that a chemical called "bisdemethoxycurcumin" boosted immune cells called macrophages to clear amyloid beta, the protein that forms the brain plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease.

The really exciting thing is "bisdemethoxycurcumin" is the active ingredient in curcuminoids, this is a natural substance that is found in turmeric root, Turmeric is a spice that is found in "Curry" powders.

In preliminary lab tests, the chemical helped rid the blood of a key ingredient in the Alzheimer's brain plaque.

One day it just might be possible to give patients high doses of blood infusions with the curry chemical that will delete brain plaque that already exists and may become a possible cure for even the advance Alzheimers disease.

Does this mean that ,If you eat a lot of this really good and tasty spice or possibly take a "curry" pill every morning that you won't have Alzheimers?

It's not totally clear yet, but the blood infusions of "bisdemethoxycurcumin" just might achieve the right blood level of the curry chemical, this is just a theory at the moment, but it does look very promising.

In the mean time, there are several things that you can do to cut your risk of Alzheimer's Disease.

Stay mentally active.

Be socially involved.

Get Physical exercise.

Eat a brain-healthy diet.

Eat dishes that contain a lot of "Curry" spices. (there were no negative side effects to consuming 2000 to 8000 mg of curry daily)
