Does turmeric help with the course of alzheimer's disease?

Very promising: More research is needed but a large body of science suggests that, according to this review of the literature, curcumin (a turmeric extract) is "a promising treatment for Alzheimer's.": http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2781139/ However, it's important to use a highly absorbable form- see http://tinyurl.com/jychpa9 Based on current knowledge, I believe curcumin is well worth trying.
