A beautiful yellow compound extracted from turmeric, curcumin, has become a gold standard for the natural treatment of many chronic health conditions, including colon cancer. Colon cancer can take decades to progress, but for men and women in the U.S., it remains the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Not only can curcumin help prevent cancerous changes to our cells, but in the fight against cancer, curcumin has been shown to make conventional treatments, like chemotherapy, work better with less adverse effects. Attend this special webinar to learn about the emerging Science behind curcumin for the prevention and treatment of cancer, especially colon cancer, and how curcumin targets cancer stem cells, disrupts cancer cell communication, and triggers cancer cell death.
Join Dr. Ajay Goel, the Director of the Center for Gastrointestinal Research and Center for Epigenetics, Cancer Prevention and Cancer Genomics at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas TX, for this informative webinar. With over 20 years of experience researching cancer and botanical medicine, Dr. Goel is one of the world's leading researchers on curcumin and colon cancer. Dr. Goel has been the lead author, or contributor, to over 150 scientific articles that have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals across the world. He is currently researching the prevention of gastrointestinal cancers using integrative approaches, including botanical products. Two of the primary botanicals he is investigating are curcumin and boswellia.
A cancer diagnosis is a life-changing experience and one of the most challenging health situations a person can face. Cancer is a unique disease in each person and this can make treatment with chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery very difficult. Fortunately, natural medicines have proven to be effective, multi-targeted, and safe. Plant-based options like curcumin, boswellia, and grape seed have been used medicinally in cultures across the world for thousands of years. Modern research has shown they are able to kill cancer cells in a multitude of ways, while leaving healthy cells intact. Join Dr. Ajay Goel, an internationally recognized cancer researcher investigating natural compounds in the prevention and treatment of cancer.

Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, is widely known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), to help with a variety of conditions like joint pain, digestive issues, and even skin disorders.
How Curcumin Works:
Curcumin helps reduce inflammation by inhibiting certain enzymes and pathways in the body. Many people use it as a natural supplement to:
Support joint health, especially for conditions like arthritis
Promote heart health by improving circulation and reducing inflammation
Help with digestion and gut health
Absorption Tip:
One thing to note is that curcumin on its own is not easily absorbed by the body. Combining it with black pepper (piperine) or a fat source like coconut oil can significantly improve its bioavailability.
For anyone interested in learning more about how curcumin and other natural remedies are used in TCM to support health, I’ve shared more detailed info on this in a post on my blog. It dives into curcumin’s role within a holistic approach to wellness and how it’s combined with other herbs for maximum effect.
