The healing power of Turmeric comes from Curcumin. It takes several years for the cancer cells to grow. At first the cancer-causing particles enter the cells as virus or other organisms. The DNA of these organisms mix with the DNA of the human cells and gradually merge into the DNA. The DNA is the control house of the cell. It is the DNA which directs every cell in the body to produce proteins and direct the functions of the organs and the body. The resources are gradually redirected to growing itself forming a tumor. The DNA then enters the next cell and starts the same process. Soon, a group of cells begin to malfunction and the whole body is hijacked for supporting the growth of cancerous cells. The cancer cells use hundreds of genes and signaling routes to control all the events of the body.

Curcumin is like a poison to the cancer cells. It stops the ability of cancer stem cells from replicating and reducing the potential for recurrence. Curcumin supports the natural immune system, the production of white blood cells, and is capable of seeking, destroying early cancer cells naturally.
