34 r C URCUMIN —T HE 21 ST C ENTURY C URE have shown that curcumin plays a role in neuronal regeneration. All these properties contribute to its potential utility in addressing this brain disease. “I chose BCM-95 ® Curcumin for my human studies because it has published human bioavailability data,” says Dr. Martins. “Therefore, I can use a reasonable amount and expect that the serum levels will achieve a therapeutic range for a significant peri- od of time.” Improve memory in people with Alzheimer’s: This exciting Indian study explores multiple ways in which curcumin not only prevents Alzheimer’s and slows the progression of the disease, but actually improves memory in people already diagnosed with the disease. Chelating heavy metals: The same Indian study says that curcumin helps eliminate heavy metals from brain cells and shields the cells from heavy metal contamination. These heavy metals have long been implicated in Alzheimer’s and dementia. CONCLUSION I’m reluctant to use superlatives in a book like this, but I am great- ly excited about the power of curcumin to protect the brain and to prevent, treat and even reverse dementia and Alzheimer’s through a broad network of chemical pathways. Although I would caution you that most of these studies are done at the cellular level or on animals, and human studies are just getting underway, there are ample reasons for encouragement. Although doctors are highly unlikely to recommend curcumin for the treatment of these brain-related diseases, if I had a loved one suffering from one of them, I’d be very eager to give highly absorbable BCM-95 ® Curcumin a try.
