There is the thousands of years of study behind the ayurvedic tradition that claim a lot of these benefits for turmeric (I don't think it has an 'r' but it autocorrects it in there so what do I know) and ya I think they usually mix it with black pepper but this article didn't really say anything at all.

Yeah and that is for a reason. The last few generations were so blindingly ignorant of true herbal medicine its amazing.

Sounds like you should stuff more energy crystals under your mattress, man.
Don't most curcumin supplements have pepper in them?

No one said its magic except people using words lightly. What they meant is that it has some nice little properties/chemicals attributed to it.
