Understand that this information is very, very preliminary, and researchers don't understand the mechanism by which this works.

Researchers noted that the incidence of neurological impairment in elderly Indian populations was very slight, and started investigating their diets to find links to prevention of MS. Curcumin was also recently identified as a potent anti-inflammatory agent, effective in wound healing. And just last fall, researchers at UCLA reported that curcumin appeared to slow the progression of Alzheimer's in mice.

A recent study has found that giving injections of 50- and 100-microgram doses of curcumin (a curry compound) to a group of mice bred to develop a disease called experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) slowed down their progression of the disease. EAE is similar to MS and is used as a model for MS research.

Researchers administered the doses three times a week over a 30-day trial. By day 15, mice who had not received curcumin developed EAE to such an extent that they displayed complete paralysis of both hind limbs. Mice given the 50-microgram dose showed only minor symptoms, such as a temporarily stiff tail. And mice given the 100-microgram dose appeared completely unimpaired throughout the 30 days of the study.
