I got up really early this morning and didn’t want to wake everyone up by making any noise. So I read a couple of interesting Science Daily articles, including one about the health benefits of spices, titled “Spices May Protect Against Consequences Of High Blood Sugar.” I thought it would be of interest to some of you, so here is the link: http://tinyurl.com/5hsacu
Another article (http://tinyurl.com/6n252w) informs us about a study on food compounds that kill acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, or ALL, cells. Of course, curcumin is among them. But also carnosol from rosemary.
Okay, I have to go now. We are getting ready to leave. Valle d’Aosta, here we come.
Ciao!
Bon Voyage!!
Ciao Margareth,
ho un problema identico al tuo c’è modo di conttattarti per sapere qualcosa di certo sulla curcumina?
Grazie.
Happy hols to you both
I have just caught up with your blog and hope that your finger infection has resolved, Paul was right I did have a similar incident, I thought you and other readers may be interested in what happened. My infection was caused by a splinter, that was not visible and I didn’t realise I had done anything until my finger swelled, after intially trying all the regular interventions, I went to the Doctors, I had two weeks of broad spectrum antibiotics and it took 3 months to fully resolve itself, mainly because my doctor was too cautious and wasn’t completly convinced I had a splinter in there, he won’t break the skin and help it out. I used a rotation of diluted Hydrogen peroxide, salt water, Magnesium sulphate (left on over night as a pultice to draw) Turmeric as pultice(when I had opened the infected area) and finally after 2 months being left with a contained but raised sore area I knocked it whilst do some houshold chores and made it bleed, I again used a diluted solution of hydrogen peroxide which bubbled away, sorrounding pus and finally i could see the splinter, I took matters into my own hands and squeezed and bubbled the area a bit more until I could grasp the splinter. I retrieved a splinter 1cm long that had not been visible and my doctor didn’t believe was there. I was currently taking another lot of antibiotics ( as the infection had caused the delicate balance of my immune system to go and had suffered pelvic and bladder infections in the previous weeks) I checked with my Doctor that they would cover me, if removing the splinter caused a new infection, fortunately I was ok. But Like you, It has made me take more precautions since.
All the best I’m also off to Hols in Rhodes
