curcumin

[Rome70]

Found some old researches on curcumin. I wonder why it does not have any development now it was quite promising.

Research on mice suggest that curcumin can have beneficial effects on the early and late stages of liver pathogenesis, preventing and delaying liver carcinogenesis.

Also there is an  invitro  research that shows that curcumin suppress HbsAg and Hbc expression.

curcumin is just few cents cost and not patentable, drug makers look for the same thing but patentable to be sold for thousands of dollars.
they dont even bother to produce drug when they become generics, they stop production, thanks god we have india which keeps producing them

In my country we mix it with Turmeric and drink it for any problems of the liver. What keeps me wondering is that some doctors believe that it can be taken together with therapy but some doctors don't.
