Curcumin, and in particular curcumin BCM-95, which is the most clinically studied form of curcumin based on 26 studies and shown to treat rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes, weight loss, cardiovascular disease, and depression can do far more than 14 prescription drugs.  Curcumin works on multiple pathways and multiple levels of those pathways all simultaneously due to its multiple molecules provided by nature.

A drug is one molecule and only works on one pathway, which ultimately negatively affects the associated pathways.  Drugs can save lives but are ill advised to be used for chronic diseases.  Our diet, our lifestyle, and our level of activity will enhance our health more than any drug.  Our lifestyle choices, good or bad, determine the quality of our health, good or bad.
