This is not always the way to approach a potentially medically-active compound.

I think a more important question is, how does turmeric act in the human body? What are the potentially active compounds in turmeric? What happens to it when prepared? When injested? Why does it have these myriad properties? Does one particular drug-like property stand out? Are there more than one “primary” properties?

You answer some of these questions, you move a little further down the road to figuring out what your double-blind experiment will look like. And it won’t cost a billion dollars, either.
