let’s talk about the bigger problem of  chronic inflammation most people with  

chronic inflammation are mainly concerned with  the pain and stiffness part of that inflammation  

what i want to do is increase your awareness  of some bigger problems other than just the  

sensation of pain and stiffness so there are four  main cytokines cytokines are proteins that are  

pro-inflammatory there are things in our body that  cause inflammation or swelling and they’re very  

weird sounding names okay which we’re not going  to get into except for this one right here tnf  

alpha stands for tumor the crosses factor alpha  and the reason why they originally named it  

tumor necrosis factor is because it destroys  and kills cancer as one of the benefits  

however there’s a paradox to this it also  can increase the risk of growing tumors  

in certain parts of your body like in the  colon and so if there’s higher levels of tnf  

you may prevent cancer in one part of your body  in the liver for example but you may grow a tumor  

in your colon and there’s a lot that’s unknown  about this right now but whether it’s increasing  

a tumor or decreasing a tumor the best thing is we  just want inflammation out of the body now chronic  

exposure to this cytokine over time in low  doses can create three different big problems  

we already talked about this one right here  increasing your risk of tumors and by the way  

as a side note it can increase the spread  of cancer cancer tends to migrate in areas  

of inflammation and so this protein is involved  in the spreading of cancer another thing that this  

protein could do is actually trigger something  called cachexia and this condition is a wasting  

syndrome of your muscles and then number two  depression so if you’re exposed to this cytokine  

or chronic inflammation you potentially can start  seeing a lot of wasting of your muscles your mood  

is greatly affected and now you have this risk  of cancer tumors and even the spread of cancer  

and those are the bigger problems of chronic  inflammation now if we look at the treatment for  

chronic inflammation whether it’s an autoimmune  disease or a chronic arthritis they use prednisone  

and definitely humera which is a medication for  chronic inflammation but here are some slight  

minor complications when you take prednisone  one of the big side effects is increased risk  

of diabetes because it increases glucose in the  body humera also has a potential side effect in  

certain individuals of causing diabetes type  2. i’m going to put the links down below  

well what’s the problem with that hyperglycemia  which is high sugar in the blood down regulates  

certain genes that increase this cytokine so  even though these two treatments inhibit this  

the blood sugar issue can then start increasing  this so we kind of have this intention to get  

rid of this problem yet it’s causing the problem  well i think you already know what to do if you’ve  

been watching my channel if you’re new to my  channel you want to get off the carbs go low carb  

i put a link down below of how to  do that it’s called healthy keto  

number two start on intermittent fasting one of  the most powerful things you can do for dropping  

inflammation number three start taking vitamin  d3 in higher amounts i would recommend at least  

20 000 international units per day you  might even want to do 30 000 ius per day  

it’s one of the best vitamins for reducing  inflammation and number four start to rid out  

of your diet any omega-6 fatty acid that would  include the soy oil the corn oil the vegetable  

oils the canola the safflower the sunflower  oils you can definitely do certain omega-6  

oils like evening primrose or black currant seed  oil or even better yet olive oil those are fine  

but consuming omega-6 fatty acids are definitely  inflammatory and that can trigger this and i put a  

link down below of a video that i did on this  right here all right thanks for watching and  

i will see you in the next video before you  go if you have a question about a product or  

you’re new to keto and you want to know  how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you  

this is just for the people in the u.s  hopefully in the future we’ll be able to  

answer everyone’s call but i put the number  down below so you can call and get some help
