I am the voice for the voiceless. Power for the powerless.

I am the Chinese Uighurs, ignored by the blaring screens.

I am the seekers of every child's stolen dreams. 

I am knowledge, and understanding of the heart.

In the midst of ugliness, I still create art. 

I am the soldier in the war of the mind.

I am the hand reaching for those who fall behind.

I am the best and the worst that one can be. 

The good the bad, the ugly. I am me.

And what about the other 75 percent of cancers? Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, appears to have those covered as well. Research released that same year by scientists from the  University of Texas  MD Anderson Cancer Center revealed that  curcumin  actually seeks out malignant cancer cells and alters the regulation of DNA in order to kill them. And unlike synthetic anti-cancer drugs, curcumin leaves health...
