Reduce Chronic Inflammation

Trauma, infection, reduced blood flow, toxins, poisons, and normal wear and tear can cause damage and destruction to cells.  This type of damage triggers an inflammatory response by the body's self-regulating mechanisms.  Certain hormones such as PG-2 can cause blood vessels to dilate making the area hot, red, and swollen.  The healthy tissue around the inflamed area releases anti-inflammatory prostaglandins to combat this irritation.  White blood cells will begin attacking and digesting damaged cells until certain enzymes tell them that their job is done.  As the damaged tissue is removed, less of the pro-inflammatory chemicals and more of the anti-inflammatory chemicals are released.  Once the inflammation is finished the body beings to repair itself.  

This balance is usually kept in check in a normal functioning system.  When it become imbalanced chronic inflammation can result.  When things get really out of hand cancer, cardiovascular, Alzheimer, neurological, arthritis, autoimmune, diabetes, and pulmonary diseases begin to run rampant.  

Keep inflammation in check by

  • Correcting any intestinal permeability  issues
  • Lay low on wheat and dairy products
  • Consider food allergy testing
  • Avoid nightshade foods
  • Supplement with Fish oil (EPA/DHA)
  • Add turmeric to your foods try the Fibromyalgia Soup
  • Try rosemary Extract it helps block the synthesis of leukotrienes that cause inflammation.
  • Try basil leaf extract it helps boost the body's natural anti-inflammatory chemicals.
  • Try green tea leaf extract it increases the body's own anti-inflammatory activity.
  • Try ginger root extract which reduces inflammation and helps regulate the inflammatory system. 
  • Try Chinese goldenthread root which reduces the activity of PG-2 and increases the activity of PG-1 and PG-3.
  • Try barberry root extract which helps regulate prostaglandins.
  • Try Baikal skullcap root extract that reduces inflammatory chemicals.
  • Try Protykin polygonum cuspidatum extract that reduces inflammatory chemicals, including PG-2, and is a potent antioxidant.
  • Add Gluscosamine and chrondroitin supplements that help eliminate pain and stiffness. 
  • Add boswellia supplements which reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Try bromelain supplements which blocks inflammatory chemicals and digests exes fibrin, a chemical implicated in osteoarthritis.  Must be taken on an empty stomach.
