Abby's Magazine - September / October 2014 | Page 29 Our bodies have a natural ability to tumor suppressing genes. However, aging and environmental factors can turn off or silence these genes, allowing the cancer to spread un- checked. Researchers have now - cers is by re-awakening these "sleeping genes," turning them back on to stop cancer. This branch of science is known as epigenetics and it may hold the answer to treating many types of cancer. Curcumin has been shown to stop cancer initiation, promotion and progression, meaning that it stops the changes that cause normal cells to become cancerous, stops the replication of cancerous cells (tumor formation), and stops cancerous cells from migrating to other parts of the body (known as me- tastasis). Published studies on curcumin's antican- cer activity (so far) have found that it can suppress breast, prostate, liver, skin, colon, and lung cancer. Curcumin for Cancer What Exactly is Cancer? Cancer is not a disease, but a whole family of diseases. These diseases are linked at a fundamental biological level. They're characterized by the pathological proliferation of cells – occasionally cells that don't know how to die, but certainly cells that don't know how to stop dividing. That abnormal, uncontrollable growth of calls is a process that typically starts in a single cell and the cell multiplies over and over and every generation produces a little evolutionary cycle such that you get more and more evolved cells. But, although there is a deep commonality between prostate cancer, breast cancer, leukemia and although they're connected at the cellular level, every cancer has a different face. Cancer cells are driven to grow because of the accumulation of mutations in their DNA. These mutations activate internal proto-oncogenes and inactivate tumor suppressor genes.
