I get that there's hype everywhere - including possibly here:

[/fright]Late last year, a remarkable study was published in the journal Ayu titiled "Effects of turmeric on Alzheimer's disease with behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia." [ii] Researchers described three patients with Alzheimer's disease whose behavioral symptoms were "improved remarkably" as a result of consuming 764 milligram of turmeric (curcumin 100 mg/day) for 12 weeks.

While there are 114 studies on our Turmeric research page indicating turmeric has a neuroprotective set of physiological actions, [5] 30 of these studies are directly connected to turmeric's anti-Alzheimer's disease properties.**
It seems like lots of people, including Jared Younger, are talking about tumeric and its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.
I've never tried it. I'm not sure which brand to try and what dose to take but it's definitely on my list.
Have you tried tumeric? If so did it work and did you use a particular brand and how much did you take?

Wikipedia states:
In India, turmeric has been used as a remedy for stomach and liver ailments, as well as topically to heal sores, basically for its supposed antimicrobial property.[16] In the Siddh system (since around 1900 BCE), turmeric was a medicine for a range of diseases and conditions, including those of the skin, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal systems, aches, pains, wounds, sprains, and liver disorders. A fresh juice is commonly used in many skin conditions, including eczema, chicken pox, shingles, allergy, and scabies.[17]
The active compound curcumin is believed to have a wide range of biological effects including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumour, antibacterial, andantiviral activities, which indicate potential in clinical medicine.[18]
Preliminary medical research[edit]
According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, "there is little reliable evidence to support the use of turmeric for any health condition because few clinical trials have been conducted."[8]
Although trials are going on for the use of turmeric to treat cancer, doses needed for any effect are difficult to establish in humans.[19] Some research shows compounds in turmeric to have antifungal and antibacterial properties; however, curcumin is not one of them.[20]
Turmeric is under study in several human diseases, including kidney and cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, cancer, irritable bowel disease,[21] Alzheimer's disease,[22] diabetes,[23][24] and other clinical disorders.[25][26]
