Curcumin Amplifier #2:
Sacred Texts Call it “The Spice from Heaven”
The first is perhaps the world’s oldest medicinal spice, used going back 5,000 years at least.
It was first grown in Ancient China and India, where it was touted as a gift from God.
Then it spread all around the world as a luxury and powerful form of medicine.
In fact, ancient texts going back to the earliest Sanskrit literature praise it as an all-purpose healer.
So do medicinal books in ancient Rome, Greece and the Middle East.
The Quran calls it a “spice from heaven.”
Most of the prescriptions written in Chinese traditional medicine included a combination of herbs.
And this one was in over half of them!
The symbol for ginger is found in
Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Explorer Marco Polo thoroughly documented its cultivation and use in his expedition to East Asia.
The Roman Empire considered it a luxury reserved for the rich.
And it was very expensive: one pound of this spice was equivalent to a whole sheep or cow.
I’m talking about ginger, of course.
But not the kind in your spice cabinet, cookies or soda. Nor just any plain ol’ ginger supplement.
Instead, Dr Al Sears recommends a concentrated dose of its most powerful medicinal compound: gingerol.
Just like curcumin is the molecular “hero” in turmeric, so too is gingerol the powerhouse inside ginger.
And now scientists are finding that the ancients were more right than you could imagine. Some of its benefits include…

Ginger: Nature's Multi-Tool.
That’s why ginger is called “nature’s multi-tool.” There’s not much it can’t do or help. And now we know why…
You see, ginger “switches off” the genes that cause age-related inflammation — much like curcumin.
The most powerful of these is the molecule Nuclear Factor-kappa beta (NF-kB) — the body’s inflammation command center.
Shuts Down Our Body's “Inflammation Command Center”
NF-kB is the “switch” that activates over 400 of our body's pro-inflammatory genes. Including the enzymes COX-2, iNOS and LOX.
As a result it provides our body the blueprint for regulating its inflammatory response.
Big Pharma considers it the “Holy Grail” for age-related inflammation. But they’ve failed to reliably and safely target it using drugs. 35
That’s okay.
Because nature already designed at least two powerful NF-kB deactivators: curcumin and ginger.
Curcumin’s effects on NF-kB are renowned. But it’s hardly known that ginger does the exact same thing. 36
In combination they’re a powerful duo against the leading cause of age-related inflammation.
That’s also why studies point to ginger as such a powerful joint remedy.
One double-blind study treated 120 joint patients with either a placebo or gingerol.
In just 12 weeks, the ginger group saw remarkably healthy inflammation markers.
The researchers conclude it’s because the gingerol extract deactivated the NF-kB gene. 37
The result: its joint-relief benefits are second to none.
In fact, researchers at the University of Miami are now saying that ginger could be a first-line joint treatment. 38
In a double-blind study, they compared gingerol extract to a placebo in 261 knee joint patients.
They found the ginger supported healthy joint comfort by 40 percent over the placebo… in just six weeks.
“Research shows that ginger affects certain inflammatory processes at a cellular level,” says the study’s lead author, Roy Altman, MD. 39
What makes ginger so powerful?
Most joint solutions simply block the formation of certain inflammatory compounds.
Ginger, on the other hand, not only “turns off” the master commander of age-related inflammation…
But also has antioxidant effects that break down existing inflammation and acidity in the fluid within the joints.
That’s why the researchers concluded its work superior to popular joint treatments.
“Ginger has anti-inflammatory… and antioxidant activities, as well as a small amount of [pain relieving] property,” says Roberta Lee, MD, vice chair of the Department of Integrative Medicine at Beth Israel Medical Center.
There you have it gingerol is a must have and it‘s why it‘s important ingredient in:
