Use caution if you are on blood thinners or some other meds. Turmeric thins blood and might react with drugs. š§µ

Sorry not taking poison to take out poison. They need to do better. My little sister was forced to take chemo, it destroyed her and took her out in 2 months. I am heartbroken and beyond angry. Yes, they certainly need to do better.

I like ginger, I use it to make my hot toddies. The Hot toddy I make has Ginger brandy, brandy, lemon juice, and honey. We make it when we feel we need it to fight colds or stuff like the flu. The ginger used in Ginger brandy is ginger flavoring...which is from dried ginger powder in the making of the brandy. I researched if the dried ginger powder is bioactive against viruses, and it is. Dried ginger does lose some of it's properties when it is made, but not the antiviral and evidently not the anticancer properties. This new plus is nice to know. They say that the chemical is twice as strong in the powder, of course it is, the water weight is removed so it is concentrated. Just like when parsley leaf flakes are dried, the apigenin goes way up. The guy pronounces piperine different than I do in the video. I have never heard the word pronounced before, but have read about it in hundreds of science articles.
Ginger ale also used ginger flavoring or ginger powder...again, it does have some antiviral properties but not all the properties of ginger. We buy some candied ginger from the coop, that is a good tasting candy. They are sort of like ginger gummies. Medicine does not have to taste bad to be good.
