You need to remember that these drug companies were only looking at whether Tumeric had something in it that could be a candidate for them to patent and use.

They only found that it was unsuitable for their use, it resisted testing or analysing, and that there were no suitable studies they could find that proved it was good at anything.

The corollary does not equate to that it's useless. Just that it's useless for them, and that nobody probably wants to fund a study into the benefits of tumeric, or if they did that they don't want to publish the results.

Pharma companies that sponsor studies into natural remedies that prove positive don't go around publishing that stuff. It'd put them out of business... You can guarantee that if it said the opposite, that tumeric was useless, there'd be all kinds of reports published all over the place stating that.

The fact that there's not leads me to believe that there's something there, more than not.

At the end of the day, there's entire cultures out there that use tumeric as a core part of their cuisine, and they're doing a heck of a lot better than we are.
