Default Turmeric/curcumin

If there is one wonder drug in the non-pharma world, it is this one.

It is a great anti-inflammatory in addition to the paper above.

There is a paper on Medline where Chinese research showed that it straightened out the stress axis.

And it kills h. pylori.

Those last two points bring warnings-
1) If you are high strung you may need a certain level of stress hormones to avoid depression.
2) Kill off h pylori when you are constipated and you may poison yourself. I have two "funny" fingers on my right hand to remind me of that.

Otherwise...
