Chronic Inflamation: Rocking the Medical World!
Medical science is undergoing a radical upheaval in how it understands
the cause of almost all modern debilitating and "killer" diseases
including: Heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimers¹s
rheumatoid and osteroarthritis, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia,
chronic fatigue, macular degeneration, Crohn¹s, allergies and more. The
two words that are rocking the medical world are: CHRONIC INFLAMMATION.
Dr. Paul Ridker, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and the father of modern inflammation research said in a cover article about chronic inflammation in Time magazine (February 23, 2003), "Just a few years ago, nobody was interested in this stuff. Now the whole field of inflammation research is about to explode." Dr. Andrew Weil, a leading integrative medicine specialist says, "chronic inflammation just may be the root of all degenerative disease." And professor of gastroenterology at the University of Aberdeen, UK, Emad El Omar, says in an article in The Scientist (July 14, 2003), "I personally believe that chronic inflammation is the root of all evil." Time magazine states, "Instead of different treatments for, say, heart disease, Alzheimer's and colon cancer, there might be a single, inflammation-reducing remedy that would prevent all three." What Is Chronic Inflammation? It is nature's way of telling us that something is going very wrong in our body. Inflammation is our basic defense and all inflammation begins with a triggering event. A bacteria, virus, parasite, or toxin invades the body; a blow, fall or surgery injures the body; or you eat food that is harmful. After the trigger has been pulled, white blood cells (macrophages) rush to the area where the invader has entered or the injury has occurred. Macrophages produce pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemical messengers that attack and clean up cells in the affected area. If this trigger continues, cytokin production rises, sending more and more signals to destroy more and more cells which will eventually lead to organ damage. In the early 1990s, Dr. Paul Ridker decided the best marker to measure chronic inflammation would be C-reactive protein (CPR), a molecule produced by the liver in response to an inflammatory signal. The higher the level of inflammation, the higher the level of CRP. Everyone who suspects they might have chronic inflammation, and and every senior should ask their doctor for a Highly Sensitive C-reactive Protein (HSCRP) test. Why is this test so important? A New England Journal of Medicine study showed that people with high levels of CRP were almost three times as likely to die from heart attack, regardless of their cholesterol levels. High levels of C-reactive protein also indicate who is more likely to get colon, esophageal, liver stomach, prostate and lymphoma cancers. According to many medical experts the most prevalent trigger for inflammation is the standard American diet (SAD) of processed foods and junk food. The five worse foods to eat are: 1. French fries, 2. Donuts, 3. Cookies/ Crackers/ commercial pastries, 4. Potato and Corn Chips/Tortilla chips, 5. Sodas/Bottled Teas and Fruit Juices/Diet Sodas. How To Prevent or Reverse Chronic Inflammation... The Anti-Inflammatory Diet, 4-6 servings of vegetables daily; nuts and seeds high in Omega-3 such as walnuts, flaxseeds ground fresh daily, pecans and almonds; fruits high in antioxidants and low in sugar such as apples, blueberries and strawberries; olive oil on salads and main dishes; Coconut, grape seed or Macnut oil for cooking; herbs high in antioxidants such as oregano and rosemary; herbs high in anti-inflammatory properties such as ginger and turmeric; Omega-3s such as wild salmon and sardines; Free-range chicken and turkey; small portions of grass-fed red meat and free-range organic eggs. Recommended supplements by various sources are: Daily probiotic; Daily protein enzymes between meals such as Wobenzym N and Pancreatin; Omega-3 fish oil; Turmeric, Nettle leaf extract, boswellia, ginger, devil's claw and green tea extracts; Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA); Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Aspirin and ibuprofen have potent side effects. How To Reduce The Aging Process will be the subject presented by Walt Edwards, at Gold Beach Books, on Sunday, April 23rd at 1:00 pm. Thought For The Day... Creating a strong intention in which you can hold a belief is the most powerful way to use your thoughts. Intentions are decisions, goals, ideas, wants, desires, and choices that are stated in the affirmative. A spiritual term for intention is faith. Whatever you put your faith in will be your life experience. When you match your intentions with a positive feeling of hope, you send a signal out to the Universe that is honored, and you receive what you have intended. Be aware that what is meant to be, will be! |
