Actually not a hijack at all...
There at least two possible explanations for this strong turnaround from turmeric. One is the HPA effect lowering cortisol and other chemistry. I lean toward this thanks to my lovely control rat, my wife. She, too, is experiencing great benefits.
The other, however, is the strong anti-inflammatory action of the golden spice. Inflammation is endemic to PD and Plays hell with both the gut wall and the BBB, thus not only allowing toxins into the brain but also more into the blood.
Either way, it is amazing.
