This means that 6 hours after each dose of curcumin, only about 25% of that dose will remain in the body.<br /><br />So the trick is to give a does every six hours: say once at breakfast, once at lunch, once at supper, and once before bed, in order to keep the body levels up.<br /><br />This way, the anti-inflammatory action of curcumin is always at full power, preventing inflammation from arising in the brain. Brain inflammation is thought to underpin many of the symptoms and behaviors of autism. In autism it is NF kappa-B inflammation that is casing many of the problems. Curcumin is a potent inhibitor of NF kappa-B inflammation.<br /><br />So you need 24 hour curcumin protection, to stop the NF kappa-B inflammation in the brain. Otherwise you will have times in the day when the brain inflammation creeps back.<br /><br />Note: soya lecithin can increase the bioavailability (absorption) of curcumin by 5 times (500%), so it might be a good idea to include some lecithin as well.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow">http://chronicsorethroat.wordpress.com</a><br /><br />I hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343867964551180667.post-33878448165239886402009-04-30T10:23:00.000-04:002009-04-30T10:23:00.000-04:00Hey Tori!

I think we're going to do this like you are - slow and steady increases. <br /><br />Do you think our little guys can handle the full 600? I guess we'll find out! <br /><br />Thanks for documenting publicly! I'll keep my eye on your trek.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10068409535192790532noreply@blogger.com
