Features - Tumeric helps cure Psoriasis

"I've suffered with Psoriasis on nearly half of my body for 25 years. I've seen many physicians and tried every medication and ultraviolet treatment."

"I bought some turmeric and sprinkled a rounded teaspoonful on my cereal."

"I continued the regimen daily, and the results were unbelievable! After 10 days, the awful itching and bleeding had ceased. Five months later, I had no Psoriasis."

Response: We can't explain why this herbal medicine helped your Psoriasis. Curcumin, the active ingredient, has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Researchers are studying this compound in conditions as diverse as Alzheimer's disease, arthritis and certain cancers.

Comment: This is what’s known as an anecdote and universally ignored by scientists. That’s a real pity. If we accepted these kinds of experiences as real, our understanding of many health conditions might be far more advanced than they are. If I had Psoriasis and tried almost everything without success, I would also be willing to put up with horrible tasting cereal for 10 days to test it out. To me that’s sensible. To the scientist, I’m a gullible fool. What do you think?
