Just found this web site: http://www.naturalnews.com/040858_turmeric_Alzheimers_Disease_dementia.html I’m going to check the health food store for Turmeric in capsule form.  Lately I have been so frustrated because my “recall” is too slow!!  I once heard the saying: “There isn’t anything wrong with our memory; it’s our recall that is slipping.” I’ve always had (IMHO) a good memory and this failure to recall is embarrassing!!  Yesterday, for the life of me, I couldn’t remember the word “imitation.”  There is another saying: “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”  I was telling a new acquaintance that a visitor to the area behind our apartments was impressed with our plants and flowers, and landscaping.  She wished the view behind her apartment was as impressive as ours!!  Originally, I was the only one that worked on a backyard garden.  Now several neighbors have created their own… with their choice of plants.  Recently my immediate next-door neighbor planted a tomato plant and two pepper plants.  Just prior to that, a rose-bush.  Furthermore, many other plants  in hanging baskets and in-the-ground this Spring.  She frequently tells me that I am her inspiration.  ~~  Well, I digressed.

I’ve searched the web for additional links and I list them here.

Alzheimer’s isn’t the only condition that might be affected by the brightly-colored spice: “Curcumin has been proven to be an extraordinarily potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound. These properties make it effective for cancer (prevention and treatment), arthritis, liver disease, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and many other health issues — all demonstrated in clinical studies,” says Lemerond.

However, I like this link best: http://www.life-enhancement.com/magazine/article/961-turmeric-protects-your-brain-cells
