Who Shouldn't Consume Curcumin or Turmeric?

[@salamura7034]

This channel is called NUTRITIAN FACTS, so I don't understand why people are complaining about him talking about the dangers of turmeric and not pharmaceuticals or medication. It isn't a secret anymore that medications are dangerous and have lots of side effects. That's why people try to find natural cures nowadays. Therefore his work is actually very important, because a lot of us think just because it is natural it has to be good. The fact that we are used to pharmaceuticals and forgot about all the natural remedies is also a reason why we need to be schooled in this matter. We tend to use natural ingredients without any knowledge which also can be very dangerous

[@geraldricosinaga]

I still choose this to pharmaceutical drugs. Viewing the side effects.

OMG lol! People need to go back to school and learn English!!! All this said is that some people with specific health issues shouldn’t take too much or take curcumin supplements instead! People just watch it a couple of times maybe then you’ll get it.

[@QualityInfinite]

Those with gallstones (stones in the gallbladder) or kidney stones (like those with gout) should look to alternative treatments other than turmeric. Turmeric makes the gallbladder squeeze, which hurts a lot when you have stones hanging out inside of it. The most common kidney stone is made up of calcium oxalate. Turmeric has a lot of oxalate in it. The more oxalate you have in your body, the more chances for it to bind with calcium and make calcium oxalate (kidney stones). Hope that helps.

[@nicholasburge9594]

Right. It's easy to be mislead by fads, even if they're healthy for the majority. Accept the facts and seek alternatives, don't shut down people who are grounding you in an appropriate manner

[@leerobs1118]

I agree, these videos are essential. I took a liver detox each day with half a teaspoon of turmeric, unknowingly the turmeric was thinning my blood and caused flooding during my menstrual cycle. I became very ill and anemic. But I carried on, it was my husband that discovered this out years later. It is best to be very cautious, we read about benefits but we should be told about side effects. I have recovered well, thank God, and still take it but with caution and never during my cycle.

[@sajanah1253]

Oh my god people. Please watch his other videos. He have many videos on benefits of Turmeric. In this video he just points out side effects of over consumption. There are many other herbs that can damage your body when taken incorrectly or taken in excess. As a lot of people have mentioned, Balance is the KEY...

[@Keepskatin]

This guy is correct,he knows what he's talking about.Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's safe.Too much of anything is harmful.You must learn your dosage and use anything in moderation.Too much vitamin A is harmful,so if you ate too many carrots,you're at risk.If you blended 4 cloves of garlic in 12 ounces of water,it will possibly kill you,because it's extremely acidic;risk of damaging your stomach lining.That would lead you bacterial infection and death.raw peanuts contain mold chemicals that damage the liver,which is why you much roast peanuts to kill the mold.Potato leaves are natural but toxic if eaten,yet sweet potato leaves are edible,and non toxic.Castor beans are natural,but one bean will kill a human and a few more will kill a horse.Even workers gathering the beans become ill,because the beans contain Ricin.Castor beans are used to make castor oil.You people need to have an open mind and stop your ignorant rejection of knowledge.

[@soilikasanen]

Yes, M.G. does dig deep into subjects. I recommend you do the same - I`m glad you appreciate an open mind which is needed to learn: Carrots don`t contain retinol. Retinol isn`t even vitamin A, by the definition of "vitamin" which means a nutrient our bodies can`t make themselves. Humans can`t make carotenoids which therefore are vitamins and needed from plant foods. Animal tissues contain retinol, which causes oxidative stress (whilst carotenoids are anti-oxidants!) and cause a bunch of harm in excess e.g. the risk of ATTR amyloidosis in it`s many forms and osteoporosis. FY: I`ve eaten more raw garlic cloves than that - on a pizza! - and survived. Just delicious! Mold is unhealthy and shouldn`t be eaten. Fortunately our tastebuds are sensitive to detect that. There are poisonous plants but eatable beans are very healthy! Actually beans is the most strongly associated food group to healthy old age.

[@Keepskatin]

@@soilikasanen Beans are legumes and contain a toxin called pectin. Pectin cause stomachcramps, diarrhea, gas, and loose stools. This is why I don't like, nor do I need beans. There are better sources of fiber than has bad symptoms. As for eating raw garlic cloves,.thei potency varies, there is more than one type of garlic. If you ate multiple cloves daily, I guarantee you will be hospitalized for live damage within a few months or less,.especially eating potent garlic, not mild garlic. Vitamin A retinol exist within cod liver oil and within liver consumer meats. This form of vitamin compound is dangerous in excess which varies from person. Calm down, and stop trying to be so smug/arrogant.

[@soilikasanen]

@@Keepskatin I do get upset when disinformation is spread. You're right that there are other good sources of fiber than beans but beans are super healthy. Gut microbiome changes whilst you eat them. The gassy effect is much rarer than thought, it's been studied. I've never had a patient suffering by eating garlic - but suffering from dm, cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases caused by inflammatory diets is common. I don't mean to sound arrogant. I do apologize you got such an impression.

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

@@Keepskatin He is not smug, just correct. The worst effect from eating too many carrots is a yellow/orange face. This is actually fairly common in babies. Its called Carotenemia.

Too much of anything is bad for a person, and this video merely points that out.

The problems is that turmeric is by FAR not the only food with oxalates. Oxalates are found in berries, nuts, green vegetables (especially spinach, chard, rhubarb and their relatives), and beans. So to try and lower your oxalate intake would be difficult. There is a certain bacterium known to break down oxalate though that may be helpful.

[@4JOJO1947]

There are dozens of health-promoting foods that are commonly found in reference lists of “high-oxalate foods,” but the only ones that have conclusively been shown to raise urinary levels of oxalate are:3 1. beets, spinach, and rhubarb 2. strawberries 3. nuts 4. whole wheat 5. all dried beans Despite their high oxalate content, there is actually little evidence that restricting the above foods reduces the likelihood of developing calcium oxalate stones. When people with a history of kidney stones were compared with people without such a history, there was no difference in oxalate intake. Similarly, when people with the highest levels of oxalate consumption were compared with people consuming the lowest levels, the risk of developing stones over time was not substantially different. Stone formation is a complex process that involves multiple dietary and lifestyle factors besides oxalate ingestion. In addition, endogenous (made within the body) metabolism of amino acids and other substances accounts for a large proportion of the oxalate that ends up in the urine.6

Interesting.. I’ve been taking moderate quantities of dried organic turmeric in food & drinks, starting just prior to finding out I had a small gallstone, at the start of the year. I’m pretty sure a particular evening of discomfort is when I passed the stone, 8 months after discovery of it’s existence. I had no idea turmeric affects the gallbladder in the way outlined in this video.. I would caution anyone with a large stone, but mine was recorded (by hi-def ultrasound) at only 3mm, and maybe turmeric helped move it, before it grew to a size too big for the biliary duct. I’ve some kind of inflammatory disorder in many joints large & small, so will continue with turmeric as part of a ‘food as medicine’ approach. Wishing readers good health and happiness :-)

Thanks so much for making this presentation of the possible concerns for misuse of this herb. THANK YOU also for pointing out the overly misused and misleading use of the term 'natural'. Of course my favorite analogy is that Hemlock and Poison Ivy are also natural. As far as DNA damage is concerned, are you saying that turmeric damages DNA structure? I know the DNA equation is vast but in my limited understanding of DNA, it as a living document that under continuous change and adjustment. These changes are activated according to exposure of all types, whether it be by consumption of food, vitamins and pharmaceuticals, or thoughts we think, activities we perform, and even exposure to radiation including EM and RF from cell phones and other sources as well as other forms of radiation. Is what you are calling 'damage' actually destructive as implied or is it simply constructive change? I would like you to expound on this important aspect as the slide and narrative really say very little about what you are implying. I would also debate the amount of turmeric consumed in the Indian culture. If you ever been to a laundromat in San Francisco or invited into one of their homes, you may retract that statement. The wonderful smell or turmeric is everywhere and hit the high olfactory sense without mistake. I consume well into the 2 tablespoon daily range combine with a small amount of black pepper and ginger. For me anyway, turmeric has been a godsend that far exceeds the effectiveness of any anit-depressant and anti-inflammatory that big pharma has provided. In addition, I am consuming it topically as a body wash. Hopefully though your presentation will help keep the cost of turmeric low by scaring away buyers. I would really like to see a concerned citizen, industrial leader, or other party involved in the health and well being of humanity discuss more pertinent and realistic concerns, like the dangers of daily exposure to sodium lauryl sulfate by sublingual and subdermal ingestion (I reiterate DAILY), or the connection between long term use of xanax and dementia.

Many plants are including potatoes as they become deadly nightshare if you leave in the ground more than two years if you fancy atropine poisoning. The Atropine from deadly night shade is not used in medicine by the way , this is something manufactured to treat those with Parkinsons, so don't go leaving your spuds or peelings or any part of the plant in. One black berry is enough to kill. You even get iriritation if you rub against the leaves. So be very careful. The ripe berries go everywhere. So before they ripen remove plant. Take IMPERVIOUS gloves and plastic bag with you DIG UP ENTIRE PLANT put straight into the bag without shaking mud off, take off site and burn DISPOSE OF WASTE THOROUGHLY AND PERMANENTLY. As well as that, You might not get all the tubers up in one go, so keep at it year on year double dig bxxxxxd trenching each time till all gone beware where your getting manure from, too, always leave it to ferment upto 6 months, before double digging in. Fermenting manure burns so it will reduce in height and dont put raw, near anything wooden or itll catch light. cow manure best as eliminates most weed seeds in cows 7 stomachs but highly pungent and may contain harmful heavy metals and hormones.

I have just finished taking Harvoni for Hep C for 6 months and at last blood test am showing that my hep c is no longer in my body.Yea, after having the disease for some 20 years I am finally free of it. I do however, have cirrhosis of the liver caused by the Hep C virus and have been experiencing a lot of arthritis pain. Some one suggested I take a 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric a day and it will help with the pain. My question is this. I had my gallbladder removed about 4 years ago and have been experiencing IBS. Will the turmeric cause me cause me more problems that I might be concerned about?

[@MainelyLove]

+Jan MacKay Hmmm from this video and my own experience, putting a few shakes of tumeric powder on my food is all I need to experience something a "healthy" like feeling from it ...Old stand by for liver cleansing is milk thistle, don't know how this would be used in the presence of something like your condition. The overall message I got from this video is that tumeric can have beneficial effects at low doses. Good luck with your liver!

[@primitivejan]

Unfortunately I am allergic to milk thistle. Break out in welts all over but the Turmeric and curcumin capsules seem to be working great. Someone suggested that I even add some grated fresh ginger in small doses to a morning smoothie or juice. The heat from the ginger helps the turmeric to work better. So long as it doesn't hurt me and makes me feel better, why not give it a try. Thank you for your reply

[@AndreaKollo]

+Jan MacKay - you would benefit from small doses of Curcumin with some finely ground pepper to make it more bio-available. However, you've got a lot of things going on and I would make the investment of talking to a natural health practitioner or at least a very good health food associate or compounding drugstore pharmacist.

hi beetroot daily will increase your bile production .so having no gall bladder will be fine.if your liver is producing enough daily you do not need your gall bladder as it's job is to store bile .

[@iamfreddies1]

Can I cook with or take turmeric powder and pepper if I have had my gallbladder removed??

[@stabilisedchaos]

Just drink distilled water with a fresh lemon and lime squeezed into it daily,it dissolves any stones that might be forming in the body anywhere,then you can have your turmeric and curcumin.I have my gallbladder removed and I eat lots of turmeric and curcumin no problem.

[@iamfreddies1]

+stabilisedchaos Thanks very much!!

[@zarabees2123]

+stabilisedchaos but if someone still have the gallbladder , will drinking the distill water with fresh lemon juice remove the stone? Thank you.

[@stabilisedchaos]

Zara bees Yes,I got my gall bladder removed,but if I had the choice again I would stop eating fatty food and drink 2- 4 liters of distilled lemon and lime water every day.it's very hard to give up junk food but at least once per day I get diarrhea because my gall bladder is gone,it is worth giving up bad food just to be normal It must be a fresh squeezed lemon and lime fruit.It travels all over your body and dissolves any stones or plaque it finds.I exercised very hard for many years,it made my gall bladder dehydrated,the gall bile inside concentrated and allowed crystals to form-this is the start of a gall stone,they grew until they blocked my bile duct and I was in a lot of pain,it is really bad,like someone twisting all your muscles tightly,my pancreas also got infected,it was too late for me to act,I had to get it removed.Hopefully to anyone reading this it will help,drink lots of water when exercising,minimum 1 liter,when you are finished start drinking lemon and lime water,it will replace lost electrolytes,hydrate you and stop stones forming.Don't believe the stories about lemon and lime water dissolving teeth enamel-these are lies to stop you being healthy.

Nothing to worry about then, since there's no gallbladder to cause contractions with.

I was using 'high dose' Tumeric for my back pain(i was effective) because I could not use NSAID (uclers). I used up to 20g a day, but usually 6-10g for two weeks couple times a year, for few years. I think I demaged one of my internal organs as I feel pain now with using many herbal spices that stimulates digestive tract (in normal coocking portions). Pain is on my left side (gall bladder is on the left). There was nothing found on USG. What lab test should I make?

how does curcumin or grapefruit pectin help out with a heart artery blockage and how quickly does grapefruit pectin work and does this have an affect with their medications that the hospital is giving them currently?

I had just been taking one size 000 cap a day, which probably holds more than 1/4 tsp. of turmeric, for about a week and had to stop due to gallbladder pain so that is true. More is not always better.

[@eac-guy7272]

Gall bladder pain does not necessarily mean it was the turmeric. It could have been too many carbs in your diet as well as insulin resistance. I know it's been years but how are you now?

[@Ordinarydays]

Ok so as a part of same subcontinent person let me correct you here a little bit. We use 1/2 tea spoon of turmeric everyday in our meal that is for whole family not for one person plus I got some skin issues back in 2010. I went to the doctor who was German . His assistant suggested to do some tests for allergies and my dr asked me “do I use turmeric in my food on a regular basis?” I said yes it’s everyday herb. He said to his assistant there is no need for allergies test run as it’s impossible for a body to get allergies who consume turmeric since childhood. And later on he was right. I got something alse that was not allergies.

[@KeyofDavid5778]

if you think tumeric it is so horrible why do people in India average 2 & a Half grams a day eating it in normal food and they have the lowest cancer rate in the world ,also they have the lowest heart disease in the world?

[@miroslawkaras7710]

Couple comment about turmeric: Most supplement of turmeric are in dosage of 450-500 mg. Turmeric contain a lot of oxalate that in the human body in acidic environment with calcium convert in stone (kidney stone). That may be dangerous. Absorption of turmeric is relatively low. In order to improve that black peeper can be use. It such case turmeric absorption effectiveness increase 20 time!!! Knowing the above my believe is that Turmeric use as supplement need to be properly formulated: 1. The dosage should be reduced by 10 time to around 50mg. 2. Appropriate dosage of calcium need to be mix with turmeric to stop absorption of oxalate. Same people recommend to add to the mix magnesium as well. 2. Appropriate dosage of black pepper need to be mix with turmeric to improve effectiveness of biological absorption. So significantly lower dosage that may be up to 2 time as effective.

Not everyone cares for the taste of curcumine, also, as a raw foodie I rarely eat straight spices, but it is easy to scoop up a desirable spice into a veggie capsule, or take a good curcumine supplement

In addition to adding black pepper to make it more potent, I heard adding coriander powder (made by grinding the seed of the coriander plant, which is a common Indian ingredient in their curries) is also required.
