Turmeric | Curcumin and Turmeric Benefits - Mercola.com A frequently overlooked way to enhance and optimize health with organically grown food is to use herbs and spices – unprocessed and organic, of course. One profound benefit of these herbs lies in their nutritional content. They’re very low in calories, while being dense in vitamins and minerals. Many herbs and spices are thermogenic, meaning they naturally support your metabolism to help you burn calories. Plus you feel satisfied sooner, so you eat less. Studies show that consuming certain herbs and spices before each meal can potentially reduce your caloric intake. For best results, I recommend combining this with diet and exercise for a well-rounded strategy. Herbs and spices can powerfully support your health, courtesy of their high levels of antioxidants. What’s more, these antioxidants target your entire body, not just one or two parts. One particular spice, in my opinion, is the “granddaddy” of them all because its benefits are so exceptional and far-reaching. That’s not all...

walking with forearm crutches - CareCure Forums Chris- What kind/style forearm crutches are you using? I just recently changed from the "euro" style with a wide open cuff to the more traditional style forearm crutches...I used to like the open cuff ones, but I've found that I'm MUCH MUCH more functional with the closed cuff ones b/c they stay on my arms when I go to pick things up, open doors, etc... Also, I've found that getting gel pads for my crutches have taken a lot of the pressure off of my hands and make them A LOT more comfortable & the gel pads around the arm cuffs make for a better fit around my arm, helping to keep them from falling off for instances like above... As far as toting things around?

Osteomyelitis: Bone and Joint Infections Osteomyelitis is a bone infection usually caused by bacteria, mycobacteria, or fungi. Bacteria, mycobacteria, or fungi can infect bones by spreading through the bloodstream or, more often, by spreading from nearby infected tissue or a contaminated open wound. People have pain in one part of the bone, fever, and weight loss. Blood tests and imaging tests are done, and doctors remove a sample of bone for tests. Antibiotics are given for weeks, and surgery may be needed. Osteomyelitis occurs most commonly in young children and in older people, but all age groups are at risk. When a bone becomes infected, the soft, inner part (bone marrow) often swells.

Curcumine [bewerken] Synthese Naast de extractie uit de plant, kan curcumine ook synthetisch bereid worden door de condensatiereactie van acetylaceton (2,4-pentaandion) met twee moleculen vanilline. Als katalysator gebruikt men een primair of secundair amine. [bewerken] Voeding [bewerken] Medisch De stof is een antioxidant, heeft een ontstekingsremmende werking en werkt mogelijk metastaseremmend.[3] Curcumine wordt beter opgenomen in combinatie met piperine uit zwarte peper.[4] In dieronderzoek zijn echter wel schadelijke effecten opgetreden als gevolg van piperine, namelijk reproductieve en foetale.[5] Studies in laboratoria en proeven bij dieren veronderstellen dat curcumine een werking heeft bij tumoren,[8][9] oxidatieve processen, hartritmestoornissen, de ziekte van Alzheimer en ontstekingen.[10] De eigenschappen die ontstekingen tegengaan lijken samen te hangen met de biosynthese van eicosanoïden.
