Far from being a far-fetched pipe dream that human beings could never live under, pockets of anarchistic self-activity are what keep us sane in a profoundly insane world. This video mainly deals with how the capitalist system exerts massive amounts of pressure on individuals and gives the average person a million different things to worry about. I mainly talk about anxiety and depression here, although I fully acknowledge that there’s so much more to cover than just that, both in terms of mental illness and in terms of societal analysis.

Also I should briefly add that I don’t think mental illness would simply disappear in an anarchist society; I think to some extent it is a fundamental part of being human. But I do think many of the contributing factors, like social isolation and financial stress, would be significantly reduced in an anarchist society.

Turmeric Health Benefits – http://drtomobrien.ie/12-health-benefits-of-turmeric/

Lovers of Indian food will be aware of Turmeric’s bright yellow colour and somewhat sharp taste. This ancient herb has a long tradition as a food colouring and vegetable dye.

It has been part of Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for thousands of years, where it was primarily used to treat the liver and digestive problems.

The active compound that gives Turmeric its healing power is curcumin. Lets look at 12 of the health benefits of Turmeric;

1. Cancer

Cancer affects so many people. In Ireland an average of 30,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year. Curcumin has been studied for its wide ranging effects on tumours in particular its and this preventative effect against cancers of the skin, stomach, colon, prostate and breast. (Gururaj et al., 2002)

2. Cardiovascular effects

Heart disease is a leading cause of death. Approximately 10,000 people die each year from cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Ireland

Turmeric has been found to be effective in maintaining heart health by reducing plaque build-up and clot formation. Its also accredited with lowering blood pressure (Zahid Ashram et al., 2005).

3. Wound healing

Curcumin has also been found to help speed up the healing of wounds (Sidhu et al., 1999. Its easy to make a turmeric paste by adding some water and applying this to the external wound

4. Anti-bacterial (according to Gupta et al., 2013)

Turmeric is a natural anti bacterial and anti biotic – killing bacteria inside and outside of the body, thus promoting good health and preventing disease and illness. It has also been used to preserve food (Jayaprakasha et al., 2005)

5. Alzheimers and Parkinson’s disease

Alzheimer’s and related dementia currently affects approximately 38,000 people in Ireland. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions is being studied to see if it can help to prevent neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers and Parkinson’s disease (Cole et al., 2005)

6. Inflammatory bowel disease

AROUND 20,000 PEOPLE in Ireland suffer from inflammatory bowel disease such as colitis and Crohn’s Disease. Research has found the use of curcumin to have some positive results in the treatment of Inflammatory bowel disease – Holt et al., 2005

7. Psoriasis

It is estimated that psoriasis affects about 100,000 people in Ireland and is a common reason for people to visit their GP. Topical use of Turmeric helps to reduce the severity of active psoriasis (Heng et al., 2000)

8. Rheumatoid arthritis

Up to 40,000 people in Ireland have rheumatoid arthritis, a painful and disabling condition caused by the immune system attacking the joints. Curcumin was found to be effective in improving morning stiffness, walking time and joint swelling (Chandran and Goel 2012).

Curcumin is one of the most promising natural ingredients in the treatment of arthritis (Henrotin et al., 2013).

9. Diabetes

Turmeric has been used for the treatment of diabetes in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for thousands of years (Zhang et al., 2013)

10. Peptic ulcers

Research is also examining the benefits of Turmeric in helping to reduce abdominal pain associated with Peptic ulcers.

11. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Turmeric extract shows promise in the treatment of IBS according to one study involving 207 volunteers (Bundy et al., 2014).

12. Reduces alcohol intoxication

One study suggests that Turmeric can be effective in reducing intoxication after drinking (Sasaki et al., 2011)
