all right i have another very

interesting topic

inflammation okay now inflammation is a

normal healing repair process but the

problem is when your body has chronic

inflammation all sorts of destruction

can occur and also an infection against

a virus or a bacteria or another

pathogen

it’s our own body’s reaction to that

pathogen that creates the damage in

other words it’s our own immune

inflammatory condition that creates the

collateral damage that we should be

concerned about and understand

thoroughly in order to

counter all this damage i mean think

about a cytokine storm where you have

this

hyper inflammatory immune response in

your lungs and doctors will give you

prednisone which is a synthetic cortisol

to help

calm it down

but it’s the excess amount of

inflammation that really creates the

this collateral damage and then you have

autoimmune diseases right

crohn’s rheumatoid arthritis even

alopecia which is like patches of your

hair falling out is an autoimmune

disease

and the common theme for autoimmune

diseases is inflammation so if you can

get rid of inflammation you can get rid

of the complications and symptoms and

problems with that autoimmune disease

then you have old injuries where the

body then creates this inflammation that

then can persist chronically

over years creating all sorts of scar

tissue stiffness and i have firsthand

knowledge of that with my left elbow my

back with my ankles from all the massive

injuries that i’ve experienced

and out of all the drugs the top selling

drugs the number one worldwide selling

drug

is humera what is that drug for

inflammation and so a tremendous amount

of people on this planet

have too much inflammation now before i

get into the causes of inflammation i

want to touch on

a new

word that you may never heard before

it’s called inflammatory oncotaxis now

what is that it’s a phenomenon where

cancer tends to spread

into areas

of

mechanical injury to your body so we’re

talking about old injuries where there

is inflammation and that can be from

many different things

you could have

food irritation to your colon where you

have this repetitive

inflammatory response in your colon

where the cancer spreads into

it could be in the lungs where you’re a

chronic smoker where you had

inflammation it could be in the arteries

due to high levels of glucose because

you are on a high carb diet or it can

actually travel into breast tissue

because you had some type of

injury to your breast tissue i mean this

is an important data because this gives

us prediction on where we might get

cancer so that way we can do something

about it before we get cancer all right

let’s start with number one the first

cause of inflammation

this is a lack of cortisol it’s the main

anti-inflammatory hormone in the body

cortisol and so how would you get a lack

of cortisol

well guess what by having too much

cortisol too much cortisol just like too

much insulin creates cortisol resistance

and so you have the situation where you

actually have a lot of cortisol flowing

through your bloodstream because you’re

under a lot of stress but it’s not

effective it’s not working so if you

look at

a condition like cushing syndrome where

you have high levels of cortisol

all the symptoms really relate to a

deficiency of cortisol that is because

the receptors become resistant when you

have high levels of that hormone flowing

through your bloodstream

same thing happens with diabetes

with diabetes you have high levels of

insulin because the glucose is high

but it doesn’t work that’s why the blood

sugars start going higher because

there’s nothing there to push it down

insulin is supposed to lower the blood

sugar but if it’s ineffective it’s not

going to do that so any condition where

you have an itis whether it’s bursitis

arthritis tendinitis usually involves

a lack of cortisol because you have too

much cortisol and that’s creating the

resistance too much cortisol is very

toxic just as too much insulin so it’s

it’s just one way

your body tends to protect against

excess amounts of cortisol but in the

process

it gives you a lot of other symptoms now

just so you know the best thing for

anything related to

itis is vitamin d and i’m going to get

to some of the remedies

after i’m done with the causes but what

you should know is any condition

where you have a need of

prednisone or more cortisol because you

have inflammation

you can substitute that with vitamin d

and at least doses of 10 000 ius but

probably 20 or 30 or even 40 000 i use

to create the effect because vitamin d

is the best anti-inflammatory and it’s

not really even a vitamin it’s a hormone

which acts very similar to cortisol all

right the next cause of inflammation is

allergies okay

so you have the obvious food allergies

like you’re allergic to dairy

now that could be casein the protein in

milk and so if you eat dairy it’s going

to create a constant inflammatory

condition in your digestive system

what about gluten that’s the protein in

wheat how many people are allergic to

gluten many many people and even if you

don’t have an allergy to gluten you can

have a gluten sensitivity or dairy you

might have

lactose intolerance right you’re not

tolerant to the milk sugar so all these

things can create inflammation and then

you have environmental allergies right

so you have i don’t know let’s say

you’re allergic to ragweed or something

like that that’s exposing your sinuses

or your throat or your lungs to this

environmental allergy and it’s creating

an irritation and inflammation or what

about poison ivy if i come

i don’t know 300 feet next to poison ivy

i’ll start itching so i am deadly

allergic to poison ivy and i seem to get

it every single year and at this point i

can’t take anything for it because it

doesn’t work and then you have another

type of allergy where you’re allergic to

your own tissues okay that’s called

autoimmune and you might not look at it

like an allergy but it’s really

an allergy to your own tissues where

your immune system is attacking itself

you developed antibodies against your

own tissue and that could be for any

tissue like hashimoto’s which is an

allergy to your own thyroid

hormones you can have lupus where you

have this allergy to

certain connective tissue or you can

have ms where you have an allergy to

your own

myelin sheath in your brain myelin

sheath is the coding around the nervous

system and if you think about what is

the main treatment for autoimmune

humera is one of the medications but

they also use prednisone

because cortisol is a powerful

anti-inflammatory

cortisol has an immune suppressive

action it basically turns off the immune

system so it just turns it off so now

you don’t have all these reactions the

problem is it comes to the package if

you have no immune system you’re more

susceptible to having

viruses invade the body and all sorts of

things happening

that you kind of lose your immune army

and in that process without inflammation

without immune reactions it can give you

a whole series of additional problems

all right number three let’s talk about

that you have either acute infections or

chronic infections

now

you know it’s pretty simple to

understand you you get exposed to a

virus or or a bacteria and then your

immune system kicks in you have this

inflammatory reaction and then it goes

away but what happens when you get

chronic infections where the virus goes

into the body and it goes into a dormant

state and it keeps coming out

out of remission and then goes back in

the remission like epstein-barr virus

like lyme’s disease

and there’s many infections that lie

dormant waiting

for the right opportunity to come out

and kick you when you’re down so these

latent

viruses tend to

come out during times of stress

and so stress is a trigger for this

infection that then will create

inflammation and so this just tells us

that we need to strengthen our immune

system and the way to protect ourselves

and prevent these viruses from coming

out

is just to stay super healthy and then

you’re protected all right number four

gut inflammation so whether someone has

an ulcer

or gastritis

or irritable bowel syndrome or some

autoimmune disease there could be

several causes of this inflammation in

the gut mainly it’s going to be foods

okay now that could be a food allergy

it could be just

inflammatory foods as in high omega-6

fatty acids like soy oil canola oil

cottonseed oil these oils are so

pervasive in our food supply and you’re

going to be very susceptible to getting

ulcers and inflammation to gut and even

having a weak spot so cancer can

actually go into that area now what

about constipation well that’s like auto

intoxication you have this this lack of

flow

of food being digested and everything’s

getting backed up so that can actually

create some inflammation as well what

about antibiotics if you take an

antibiotics you wipe out your friendly

bacteria that’s there to protect you and

reduce inflammation so if there’s some

way that you lose your flora in your gut

that could be the cause of why you have

inflammation in your gut in fact when

that inflammation exists then it

develops scar tissue

in the colon and it can

affect your ability to absorb nutrients

and it can create leaky gut that then

leads to more allergies and autoimmune

diseases and a lot of other problems so

as a side note for any type of gut

inflammation going on

the best

food actually is cabbage cabbage has

unique things in it that are really good

for gut inflammation

and cabbage seems to be easy to digest

especially if it’s in like a

fermented form like sauerkraut or like

kimchi things like that or even like

coleslaw or raw cabbage seems to be

very very beneficial for anyone with

gastritis with anyone with an ulcer with

anyone with inflammation in the gut

another really good thing is the

wheatgrass juice or wheatgrass juice

powder because the chlorophyll in there

with other additional phytonutrients is

very healing on the inside of your skin

internally whether it’s in the throat

the stomach the small intestine or the

large bowel goes in there and it tends

to create a really cool effect and

what’s ironic is

wheat has gluten but not wheatgrass

juice powder okay because they capture

it before the seed exists so there’s no

gluten so it’s very very healing but

then if you eat wheat it’ll actually

destroy the intestines another really

good remedy for gut issues

is zinc

l-carnizine okay just remember that

because that’s a good remedy for ulcers

gastritis

it’s a good form of zinc

that is very very healing all right the

next cause of inflammation which is

probably the most common

is glucose or sugar yeah glucose and

sugar and the other foods that turn into

sugar like refined carbohydrates what it

does is it raises this glucose flowing

through your bloodstream and

this very thin layer

of cells which is one cell layer thick

in your arteries

becomes seriously damaged and you get

this inflammatory condition and then the

body heals with either a clot or

plaquing

in the combination of cholesterol

or protein or calcium so you have this

calcium buildup and then you get heart

problems and you get heart attacks and

strokes other than that you’re perfectly

fine but when you lose the vascular

supply and even the capillary supply to

your eyes you have eye damage every

different problem with the eye like

retinopathy cataracts

macular degeneration and if you lose

capillary blood flow to the nerves you

get peripheral neuropathy so you have

just tingling and um weird feeling in

your feet and high glucose also creates

inflammation in your kidney

and in your brain other than that

doesn’t pretty much attack anything else

well

actually it does but i’m just being

sarcastic now when you have high levels

of glucose

insulin goes up

and then remember we talked about

cortisol being resistant insulin becomes

resistant

and when you have insulin resistance

your body pumps up more insulin and you

get more inflammation so

having the standard high carb diet is

just creating a constant state of

inflammation

in many different parts of your body but

it’s not only glucose that causes

insulin resistance

it is also frequent eating as in

snacking

when you every time you eat you trigger

insulin so if you’re eating so so-called

healthy foods

and but you’re eating a lot of snacks

through the day you’re also going to

create the same situation so you need to

go on a low-carb diet and you definitely

need to do intermittent fasting very

very important we’ll touch on that in a

bit now number six your own fat cells

okay uh can cause inflammation

because there’s certain type of

pro-inflammatory uh molecules like

cytokines that can then create more

inflammation and then inflammation

itself

can create insulin resistance

interesting so we have this two-way

street where we have inflammation

creating insulin resistance and insulin

resistance can create inflammation it’s

a it’s a never-ending um nightmare all

right number seven old injuries

i’ve touched on that but old injuries

can put you in a state of stiffness

inflammation

chronically and so it’s very very

important if you have old injuries and

you have like arthritis

to not also consume a lot of high

glucose or

any glucose you want to be in a low-carb

diet to keep your inflammation at a

minimum and there’s other things you

want to do as well but if you have

arthritis

and inflammation because of old injuries

and you’re still consuming carbs

um i don’t care how much tumeric or

vitamin d

or

remedies that you take

it’s not going to really work sometimes

i’ll see people with really bad

arthritis and they’re

just taking pills they’re taking fish

oil and they’re thinking that’s going to

solve the problem when in fact it’s not

going to even create a dent into their

problem and that is why i’m doing more

of a comprehensive approach to this

topic because it’s so important now the

next problem is very interesting

it is where you have a problem in your

bile ducts the bile ducts are little

tubes that connect from your liver to

the

gallbladder or small intestine and if

you have too much sludge in these little

tubes or you have a stone like a

gallstone

that can create a lot of inflammation

usually on the right side of your body

suspect there could be something wrong

with the gallbladder

or usually it’s going to be in the bile

duct

a little bit higher up and you might

have some sludge not even a stone

but a thickened

sludge

caused because you don’t have enough

bile salts i can’t tell you how many

times

i’ve had patients come in to my clinic

when i was in practice with this problem

it’s very very common yet not many

people know about it and they’re getting

all sorts of rehab treatments they’re

taking thousands of vitamins and

it’s not working

okay a real simple remedy

for that condition is to start taking

bile salts okay purify bile salts and

there’s a lot to know about it i put a

link down below if you want more

information but another really good

thinning agent for that uh problem is

tut cup

and you can buy it online and you take

it on empty stomach and it thins the

bile

allows the flow of the sludge to go

through and magically all that pain goes

away all right number nine low vitamin d

directly i mean vitamin d is a very

powerful anti-inflammatory if you’re low

in vitamin d like the majority of the

population is

you’re more susceptible for inflammation

and pain okay especially in your lower

back but it could be anywhere in your

bones in your joints in your knees in

your neck and so don’t forget a vitamin

d deficiency as one cause of

inflammation this is why vitamin d can

help you prevent

cancer why because it gets rid of

inflammation and if someone had cancer

and they’re in remission

the cancer can be reactivated

by

inflammation okay so remember that

because you want to have a goal of just

getting rid of inflammation

everywhere in your body that would be a

very very good survival goal all right

number 10 high levels of omega-6 fatty

acids and low levels of omega-3 fatty

acids so any foods with high omega-3

fatty acids like fish

cod liver oil or cod liver or fatty fish

like salmon

or sardines really really good to keep

your inflammation on the lower side

some people that start fasting

may develop inflammation because they’re

not consuming any omega-3 fatty acids so

anytime you’re doing

prolonged fasting i always recommend

taking the electrolytes b vitamins but

also omega-3 fatty acids because i’ve

observed people getting arthritis when

they’re fasting and they think it’s a

side effect from fasting but really it’s

just a side effect because you have no

omega-3 fatty acids omega-3 fatty acids

are essential fatty acids what does that

mean essential it means that your body

needs them and you can’t make them so

you need to get them from the diet and

without them you’re going to have

problems and also on top of that

another compounding problem is we have

way too much omega-6 fatty acids and

that’s all the vegetable oils which are

really seed oils

grain oils

really really bad but it’s in our food

supply it’s definitely in any fast food

restaurant you go to

or a lot of just regular restaurants

they’ll put so much soy oil and corn oil

in their cooking uh whether it’s eggs or

something deep fried or whatever so i

always when i go to a restaurant

i’ll ask

the chef like what type of oil do you

use and you’d be shocked to find out if

you’re going to be something like soy

oil i will just not eat foods that are

cooked with soy oil

and also start reading your ingredients

like in your

dressings right

if it says anything with soy oil canola

oil cottonseed oil i would avoid it even

if it’s organic okay your salad dressing

should be olive oil and vinaigrette

something like that or avocado oil all

right then we have environmental toxins

like plastics in the environment

silicone breast implants could be a

source of inflammation and the thousands

of other chemicals that we are bathed in

on a regular basis now i want to mention

number 12 a second time because it’s

very very important it’s not only the

glucose that stimulates inflammation

it’s the frequent eating because of the

high levels of insulin so one of the

most important things you can do on top

of everything else if you have

inflammation is go low carb okay but

really do the healthy version of keto

because that way you’re adding in more

nutrients you’re not just focusing on

low carb you’re focusing on

high quality foods that also give you

additional health benefits like really

really great cruciferous vegetables and

large amounts of salad which have

phytonutrients that are

very very um anti-inflammatory with

loads of antioxidants because when you

have inflammation you’re getting a lot

of free radical damage so you want the

antioxidants from the food as well as

you want the antioxidants from your own

body your body makes endogenous

antioxidants i’m talking like

antioxidant networks and one of the big

stimulants for that is fasting and one

of the things that just crushes and

destroys these antioxidants is frequent

eating so fasting is really key for

inflammation all right number 13 too

much iron okay

now iron um is

a mineral it’s a trace mineral

that you don’t need in large amounts and

our bodies don’t have mechanisms to get

rid of iron

when you get an infection

both the good

bacteria and the pathogens

um compete for this iron apparently they

they eat iron and so our bodies have

this interesting mechanism

to bind up iron during infections

and this is why

people have a

higher incidence of getting anemia

when they have

infections and if you’re deficient in

iron going into an infection

and then you’re coming out of an

infection and you’re fatigued and you

have anemia it could mean that you need

more iron and that’s just a side note

but some people that have like a post

covid fatigue sometimes they need some

iron but typically you don’t want to

overdo it with iron because too much

iron in your liver can create cirrhosis

and create a lot of inflammation

and a lot of scar tissue and fibrosis in

the liver but iron in general in large

amounts can create inflammation all

right now that you know all the causes

of inflammation

let’s talk about what to do

number one the most important thing is

have enough vitamin d at least 10 000 i

use but if it’s a chronic problem take

more take 20 30 even 40 000 ius um if

you’re concerned about any toxicity i

put a video down below you should watch

that anytime you take vitamin d3 though

you also need k2 at the same time

especially if you’re taking on a regular

basis because vitamin k2 helps prevent

the calcium buildup in the arteries so

k2 drives calcium

from the blood and the joints back into

the bone

so if people are concerned with the side

effect of vitamin d toxicity which is

hypercalcemia because the calcium builds

up in the arteries well guess what k2

handles that it protects you against

this excess calcium so they both work

together so realize the ratios

are 10 000 international units of

vitamin d3

to 100 micrograms not milligrams of k2

okay so that’s the ratio so if you go up

with your d3 to 20 000

ius

then you need

200

micrograms of k2 all right number two

avoid those things that are triggering

your allergies like in environmental

allergies as in food allergies that’s

really really important but what’s

really interesting about allergies in

general is that you can get rid of

allergies by doing periodic prolonged

fasting yeah because you strengthen the

immune system when you do fasting

there’s some great data on that i’ve

done videos on that but yeah so you

don’t have to live with your allergies

all right number three chronic

infections

uh the best way to handle that

especially if it’s like epstein-barr

virus or

some type of virus that’s lodged in your

body

is to take regular vitamin d which is

good for the immune system as well as

regular vitamin c but make sure the

vitamin c is not synthetic use a whole

food form you can also do herbs that are

antibacterial as well because they don’t

have the side effects like garlic thyme

oregano oil i’ve done videos on that

i’ll put the links down below alright

for any gut issue don’t forget about

zinc l carnosine a really good form of

zinc and for heart problems okay like in

heart attacks preventing heart attacks

things like that

one of the best vitamins is vitamin e

but not tocopherol you want to take

telcatrino’s okay 300 milligrams

very very important because it’s like 50

times stronger and it can actually clean

up the free radical damage and

inflammation in the heart

and

realize that you also need to at the

same time get rid of the cause of that

problem which is consuming too much

sugar okay you gotta go low carb to

really get rid of that oxidation that’s

happening

but vitamin e can greatly reduce

the inflammation in the inside of your

arteries as well as the inflammation in

your liver all right number six the most

important thing

low carb in a minute of fasting if

you’re new to my channel

click the link down below vital and

important action okay that’s the most

important thing you can do all right

number seven you need to do intermittent

fasting and periodic prolonged fasting

that’s going to drop inflammation also

take regular amounts of vitamin d

and turmeric is a very very good natural

compound to reduce inflammation just

make sure that the source of turmeric

is from a really good place recently i

found a farmer who grows the stuff in

his greenhouse and it’s the best

turmeric i’ve ever found

he dries it out chops it up and i buy it

from him and i actually chew it and it

is like explodes in your mouth but it’s

a really good source but there’s a lot

of herbal things you can take for

inflammation

like

stinging nettle root another one of my

favorites all right number eight

anytime you have right-sided um

inflammation or pain don’t forget purify

bile salts or tug-cut is is a type of

purified bile salts that you can take

but then you need to work more on the

gallbladder and of course your diet as

well all right number nine start

increasing your omega-3 fatty acids

which i talked about and decreasing your

omega-6 fatty acids and number 10 be

careful with the iron so i wouldn’t

recommend cooking in iron skillets i

wouldn’t recommend taking these

multivitamins

the real popular ones with a lot of iron

in them

not a good idea in fact i’m very

hesitant taking any vitamins with added

iron unless it’s in the right form

but you’d be shocked to find out some of

the lead multivitamin minerals

really just have this like iron ore this

elemental iron that is like not the

right type for our bodies

and the other problem with iron is iron

is fortified in all the grain products

so in one video i did a while ago as i

showed people how you can take a magnet

okay a strong magnet and dump out like a

box of cereal um on a platform take the

magnet and it picks up

the cereal because of the added

iron the fortification of iron in those

wheat products

but of course if you’ve been watching my

channel you’re not consuming grains so

you’re totally safe all right so now

that you have a superior level of

understanding about inflammation

i’m going to show you a great technique

on how to get rid of pain okay
