(via The effect of curcumin (turmeric) on Alzheimer’s disease: An overview)
Based on the main findings detailed above, curcumin will lead to a promising treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. The clinically studied chemical properties of curcumin and its various effects on AD shows the possibility to do further research and develop better drugs based on curcumin for treating AD. The recent review paper of John Ringman also supports some of the above mentioned properties of curcumin in AD;[50] however, large-scale human studies are required to identify the prophylactic and therapeutic effect of curcumin.
Several unanswered questions remain: What is the one main chemical property of curcumin that can be exploited in treating AD? What is the role of curcumin in other neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and other dementias? How does curcumin interact with neuronal plaques? Is it effective only as a food additive? Would it be effective when used alone or with other anti inflammatory drugs?
