Honey helps to prevent heart disease and cancer. And sea salt contains essential minerals and nutrients.

Turmeric, the main spice in curry, is arguably the most powerful herb on the planet at fighting and potentially reversing disease.
When examining the research, turmeric benefits go beyond that of these 10 drugs:

Chemotherapy

Pain killers
Diabetes drugs (Metformin)
Arthritis medications
Inflammatory bowel disease drugs

Turmeric, on the other hand, has relatively no known side effects unless taken in extremely excessive amounts.
Its anti depressants and anti inflammatory .
Arguably, the most powerful aspect of curcumin is its ability to control inflammation.

Diseases today such as cancer, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, high cholesterol and chronic pain can be the result of inflammation. Turmeric’s key to disease reversal may be its ability to keep inflammation at bay.
A number of laboratory studies on cancer cells have shown that curcumin does have anticancer effects. It seems to be able to kill cancer cells and prevent more from growing.
A 2007 American study that combined curcumin with chemotherapy to treat bowel cancer cells in a laboratory showed that the combined treatment killed more cancer cells than the chemotherapy alone.
Turmeric works incredibly well to help naturally treat cancer and is especially effective at treating breast cancer, colon cancer and skin cancer.
