I was trying to get bottles of curcumin extract, few months ago. I found your interesting blog (remember, I even wrote you an e-mail). I finally ordered my supplements from www.turmeric-curcumin.com . Since I had to wait forever to get my bottles (6 weeks indeed, still waiting for them...), I went to a ''natural food'' shop. They suggested that I buy the ''New Chapter'' turmeric Force, saying that it is better, since they extract also the turmeric oil and some other components. I took their advice (well, I had no choice) and reading your last article, I am pretty happy about it ! Hi Margaret. I was trying to get bottles of curcumin extract, few months ago.

It's interesting how we continue to discover potent therapeutic properties among so many intensely colored and flavored plants and derivatives. This area of study deserves a lot more investigation -- doesn't it? Great work once again, Margaret.

I'd better get cooking! So maybe the spice bottle is a co-warrior with the pill bottle. Can't hurt to do both. Thanks, Margaret, again, for all you uncover. So interesting! I’d better get cooking!

I had never heard of David Gang but there is a video interview with him here: http://tinyurl.com/5r69q9 I couldn't find what those compounds were but this webpage might give a clue http://tinyurl.com/6dw57j Its a request from his University for collaborators on an innovation - a specific extract from turmeric: "The turmeric oily fractions were tested for anti-inflammatory activity in a human leukemia cell line (HL-60 cells). Combinations of several of the fractions that contain the turmeric oils were more effective than curcumin, or single turmeric fractions, in inhibiting PGE2" This is really interesting Margaret (and you don’t need to register to see the article - your link takes you straight there).
