Health & Wellness Show April 22nd - Inflammation: The Root of Disease

[Keyhole]

Inflammation. We've all heard the term and we've all experienced it either acutely or chronically. Today on the Health and Wellness show we'll talk about inflammation -- what it is, what it does (both good and bad) and why, if you peek under the skirt of most disease states, you'll find it. But don't despair. Inflammation, both hidden and overt, doesn't have to be permanent. There are ways to decrease it!

Included, as always, is Zoya's Pet Health Segment. Do you wonder how your veterinarian makes a diagnosis? Find out today.

Thanks for another great show

Just echoing what was said regarding diet, I recently discovered that I needed to be on a low histamine diet which means that what I've been eating for the last few years of nothing but fat, organic sausages and bone broth was doing more harm than good since the latter two are high histamine foods.

Another supplement people might want to look into is Mangosteen its an amazing anti-inflammatory. Its one of the top five supportive supplements mentioned in the book The Top 10 Lyme Disease Treatments: Defeat Lyme Disease with the Best of Conventional and Alternative Medicine by Bryan Rosner.

Also a quote from the ebook Awakening from Alzheimers by Peggy Sarlin:

Dr. Kenneth J. Finsand, a chiropractic physician and the author of The Mangosteen Desk Reference, says, “This is probably the most famous use of all the qualities found in the mangosteen: it is by far the most powerful anti-inflammatory I have ever seen in 30 years of practice. Research has proven this to be true, along with folk medicine history.”

Dr. Finsand has personal reason to champion mangosteen. In 1981, he suffered a devastating back injury while surfing. Over the years, the chronic pain worsened, and he felt exhausted and sick, possibly due to his long-term use of medication. In 2002, Dr. Finsand discovered mangosteen juice and experienced a dramatic recovery of his health. “Because of the amazing results I have had with mangosteen, I am now drug-free and virtually pain-free for the first time in 21 years.
The research I have performed on this product has led me to believe that it helps restore liver function, it breaks down insulin resistance, and it can turn around chronic conditions of inflammation in the cells of the body.”

In the same book there are stories of people in nursing homes in the late stages of alzheimers who are able to reverse the disease and reclaim their ability to function and communicate. As well as the author herself successfully treating migraines and her sons asthma.
You can get it as a juice or in extract form (if you want to avoid any sugars). Just make sure what you do get contains both the fruit and the rind (pericarp) as the latter is where most of the powerful antioxidants know as xanthones are found.
