Our body’s normal response to a threatening stimulus is inflammation.

Unchecked inflammation can lead to suffering and dis-ease. 

Dr. Peter Libby, chief of cardiovascular medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston states, “We evolved as a species because of our ability to fight off microbial invaders.”

Our body responds with inflammation when it comes in contact with a virus, bacteria, fungus, mold, parasite, physical/emotional stress, chemical toxins and

even dietary indescressions, (ie. sugar/protein overload, not enough vegetables).

If our nervous and hormonal systems are constantly being triggered by various and multiple stressors that initiate the inflammatory immune body response over and over, chronic inflammatory reactions are inevitable.  Multiple diseases can be traced to the body’s chronic (lasting more than a year) inflammation response.

*Heart attacks   *cancer                   *Alzheimer’s  *Type II diabetes      *Obesity     *Autoimmune diseases:  multiple sclerosis, lupus, fibromyalgia       *Sjogrens    *High blood pressure  

 Any symptom with “itis” after it:  colitis, nephritis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, gastritis, pancreatitis, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, bronchitis, otitis…  

There are currently over 60 disease processes involving chronic inflammation.

What can be done?

Lifestyle modifications can be made to minimize chronic inflammatory syndrome.

·         Reduce sugar and all refined hydrogenated food products (junk foods in general including drinks derived from sugar (high fructose corn syrup and maltodextrin are also refined sugar products)

·         Filtering water

·         Organic meats/dairy

·         Organic vegetables/fruits (the greener the better!)

·         Regular exercise

·         Breathing exercises

·         Catching oneself in the act of regurgitating the “old story” and letting go of that mindset (or set mind!)

·         Relaxing daily:  prayer/meditation

Health authorities agree if we can reduce the cause of inflammation and interrupt the inflammatory process our body will heal itself as it was designed to do.

Two very powerful anti-inflammatory agents are chlorophyll and chlorophylin.  Chlorophylin is a semi-synthetic, water-soluble  mixture of sodium and copper salts derived from chlorophyll. 

Here is a short list of benefits from chlorophyll and chlorophylin .

·         Tissue growth & repair

·         Internal deodorant

·         Topically for slow healing wounds

·         Calcium assimilation (stabilizes cell membrane)

·         Forms molecular complexes with chemicals known or suspected to cause cancer, therefore may block carcinogenic effects

·         Delivers magnesium and helps blood carry oxygen

·         Neutralizes several oxidants (free radicals) – Inflammation is produced from free radical damage

·         Limited data from animal studies indicate that chlorophylin may increase enzymes responsible for detoxifying chemical carcinogens.

·         Prevention of liver cancer

·         Prevention of colon cancer

·         Powerful antioxidant- neutralizing free radicals within the body that cause disease and membrane damage

·         Protection against DNA mutation

·         Promise as a chemo protective agent

·         Useful in treating calcium oxalate stones (kidney/gallbladder)

Mother Nature has provided many other powerful anti-inflammatory agents in the form of Fulvic Minerals.  Fulvic means created by the microbial activity of plants.  Benefits include:

·         Transport valuable anti-inflammatory nutrients into the cell (increases absorption (permeability) and bio-availability)

·         Increases oxygen while decreasing acidity

·         Improves enzyme development

·         Powerful free radical scavenger and anti-oxidant

·         Powerful detoxifier

·         Anti-biotic

·         Anti-viral

·         Biphasic electrolyte: can accept or donate electrons depending upon need

·         Weight loss

When our six essential choices (eat, drink, breathe, exercise, rest and think) become imbalanced due to habit, our minds shift into perceptions of defense. We begin to perceive threat where there is no actual threat to our existence. The true threat is to our ego-based beliefs that cause the drama and the trauma of our lives, which are all subconscious. To make matters worse we defend these beliefs as if the are absolute truth, when in reality these beliefs aren’t even ours…Science tells us that our beliefs, that run out behaviors, are input into our minds before the age of seven.  Brain waves of children are like that of a hypnotized person, with no discernment to accuracy and all is accepted as regardless of truth.  These are the beliefs that creep up in our lives generating negative emotions.  Which, in turn stimulate the fight/flight response: elevate blood pressure, sugar & cholesterol, increased adrenal stress hormones (cortisol & epinephrine), increased heart rate, increased muscle tone (tight muscles), decreased digestion, increased sweating, dilated pupils and increased mental activity (mind wont shut off/shut up).

When this patter is reinforced over many years the body will break down due to overuse.  The following is a description of some adrenal burnout symptoms:

Stage One

Digestive problems, inability to calm down, prostatitis , increased serum cholesterol, weight gain/weight loss, menstrual problems, sleep disturbances, diarrhea, tight muscles, decreased libido & pain syndromes.

Stage Two

Chronic fatigue syndrome, loss of libido, impotence, bloating and fluid retention, constipation, male & female hair loss, bone loss, increased nightly urination, low back pain/sciatica.

Stage Three

Fibromyalgia, chronic non-specific pain, heart arrhythmia, severe constipation, panic attacks/anxiety, bile reflux * digestive problems, depression/mental frustration, memory loss, inability to think clearly, sensitivity to smell, sight & sound, difficulty breathing, joint pain and all inflammations (anything ending in “itis”).

Stage Four

A trigger event will occur (physical trauma, mental/emotional stress) which will cause a blood sugar event,(when more than 1-2 adrenal hormones are imbalanced) a blood sugar disorder and or genetic predisposition i.e. cancer, heart attack, diabetes, arthritis, auto-immune, will then occur.  So where do you fit in this 4 stage series of declining health?  You can see that as time and habits continue the body will break down.

The next step is to ask; if this is how i got here, what can i do today to create a healthier life for tomorrow?  The answer is to gradually start to change our habits in the six essentials (eat, drink, breathe, exercise, rest and think).  By changing these habits the subconscious mind will calm down, allowing the body to heal.  A good place to start is our thinking.  When I get a negative thought, I could choose to follow it, and produce what I have created up to now in my life (suffering, rational stress, financial lack etc..) or I could choose to simply let it go, do the forgiveness exercises, repeat a positive affirmation, do belly breathing or do the Morter March….etc

The key is not to follow the ego-mind and its ego defenses that have created what we have ( & don’t want) today.  Rather to see life & ourselves and respond to life & ourselves from a different perspective, point of view: one of abundance, joy.peace,love,confidence and creativity, irregardless of what goes on outside.  In this way you are truly creating a life of health, happiness and success.  The life you are meant to live now.
