A “safe and effective” herbal treatment for depression

In the new study, researchers conducted a clinical trial that included 60 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The patients were randomly divided into three groups, with one receiving 20 mg of fluoxetine (the generic form of Prozac) daily, another getting 500 mg of curcumin twice a day, and the third group receiving both treatments.

Neither the researchers nor the patients knew which treatment they were taking. After six weeks, the curcumin and fluoxetine groups had comparable improvements in mood, based on their score on a standard rating scale for depression that evaluates mood, feelings of guilt, suicidal ideation, insomnia, anxiety and other symptoms. While the group that received both therapies did even better, the difference in depression scores was not statistically significant.

This “Golden Spice of Life” Brings Health and Happiness

Oct 04, 2013



Curcumin, found in the yellow Indian spice turmeric, has amazing health benefits, including elevating mood and combatting depressive symptoms as effectively as the prescription drug Prozac, suggests a recent study published in Phytotherapy Research.

Used as an herbal medicine and food for nearly 4,000 years, turmeric is a well-documented treatment for a wide range of disorders, inspiring researchers to dub it “the golden spice of life” in a scientific review. Indeed, over the past 25 years, more than 3,000 papers have explored the savory flavoring’s medicinal properties in lab tests, animal studies, and human trials.

“SMILES FOR THE WORLD”
A National Photo Essay Competition on Calidad Humana

“Calidad humana marks the person noble in his dealings, steadfast in his convictions, and unfaltering in his equanimity, without any pretensions … everything that contributes in the end to LIFE WELL SPENT."

“One need not have most, or much less all, positive traits in heroic proportions, nor would one need to be exempt from defects of character. What is needed for calidad humana is a quality or a cluster of qualities that steadily stands out in one’s personal and social life, hand-in-hand with an unwavering struggle for the other human virtues.” (http://projectch.wordpress.com/about/)

“CALIDAD HUMANA, literally translated as the quality of being human and loosely translated as strength of character, may refer to the sum total of distinctively human characteristics that dignify and ennoble a person and enable him to contribute to a culture of excellence either in his immediate, mediate, or broader environment … either in unusual or day-to-day situations and circumstances. It is not a state a person is in but a constant movement to attain the state of human perfection." (http://projectch.wordpress.com/about/)



The project is organized by the the Embassy of Chile in the Philippines, the University of Santo Tomas, and the University of Asia and the Pacific.

[Megan] Young is the first Filipino candidate to win in the 63-year-old UK-based pageant. With this triumph, the country scored a rare featâ€" winning in five major beauty contests: World (once), Universe (twice) International (four times), Earth (once) and Supranational (once).

According to reports, this achievement belongs solely to the Philippines. Brazil and Venezuela have yet to win Miss Supranational, which Filipino Mutya Johanna Datul won last month.

wa ba tay instruction para sa atong kaugalingon bisag di turista?  urinating and spitting anywhere is still with us.  for some, anyway.

mi badlong ba ko sa imong rants about divine something. you could have done it on facebook. we should learn to be more tolerant of each other. ahong kontra nia dinhi. so i am making my rants and rumbles here. to vent my anger. dont worry islander. i will be gone after the power of dreams. it will be my last show

una, wa nako i-post all over akong rants about divine something.  they were just in one thread, unlike yours.  you don't admit it?  try going through all your posts so you'll be reminded.

ikaduha, my rants were in defense of filipinos.  yours are in defense of your self-regard.

display yourself at facebook, which is a better forum for your kind.  angayan mo didto ni divine something.

balik na pod sa kwarta.  don't waste your time, hubag.  he's beyond grasping anything.  money, maybe, but not reason.  never reason.  if i were you, for the sake of the rest of us here, operate as if he does not exist, whether in the internet or in real life.  he reacts most to you, so please, if you can help it, make him invisible.

aside from your obsession with hubag and the word idiot, you're also concerned with being up front in the posts here, bahalag unsa nga thread sadsad gihapon ka sa imong kaugalingon nga obsession.  do you realize that it's annoying to most of us?  why not just have a thread of your own and stick to it with your rants?  tuyoon man nimo ug sulod tanan just to make your posts current, posts that are more of the same sickening rants.  i repeat, get a life!   

ngano man diay ug ingnon na lang pod nimo nga di tinuod ang mga estorya ni hubag, labi na ang word nga 'idiot'?  just don't mind him na lang diay.  and get a life!

klaro man nga akoy gi igo ni hubag. he could have titled it The Government Shutdown Explained period. wa nay pakapin. gusto jud ni sija mo kompetensya. i was the first to explain what a govt. shutdown is. ngopya na pod sija sa internet.

imo na nang problema kun sabton nimo nga anything that hubag does, especially when he mentions the word 'idiot', is about you.  problema na nimo kay nituo na ka that the word is synonymous with you, hahaha!

ikaw ang una bahin sa shutdown?  aba, mora man ug ikaw ang inventor ani.  also, kun nangopya si hubag sa internet, ang imo diay original, as in your own composition?  come on... 

pagkat-on pod ug cite sa imong source uy.

how do we order, rey?  like i may order the the omega 3 thing (the doctor has prescribed this) and i want to credit my order to you.  please instruct me.

kay gusto kang malingaw, i-up yours na lang nimo ning forum with your rants.  rants nga hapit nang mag-anniversary sa kadugay nang balik-balik.

now you tell us if even those books of how-tos for dummies are published for you...

you place yourself too much as important in everything here.  even this thread is about you?  goodness me.  what a pest.

hohum.  more of the same bore...
