hey guys so I recently had a question

from someone who was on Humera and they

wanted to know if there’s any type of

alternative okay well first of all I

want to tell you if you’re taking this

medication I’m not telling you to come

off your medication check with your

doctor this video is just to give you

some background information for you and

your doctor to do research in some

possible alternatives the thing you need

to know about Humira is it is a

blockbuster prescription drug okay and

blockbuster meaning it’s over 1 billion

dollars in fact last year the sales were

over 16 billion dollars and if I’m not

mistaken it’s it’s the top-selling drug

what it does is it lowers inflammation

so it’s an anti-inflammatory okay so

there’s a lot of people out there that

have inflammation whether it’s arthritis

bursitis tendinitis all the itis a–’s

or autoimmune and this drug targets

inflammation one of the big problems I

see in America is that we are on way too

many prescription drugs 70% of the

population is on at least one drug in

the US with over four billion

prescriptions written in the US every

single year that’s 13 medications for

every man woman and child I think that’s

a little excessive what do you think

with over thirty percent of the

prescriptions never even filled because

it’s expensive okay and it’s hard to

afford those medications so what I’m

going to recommend is a different

solution

to actually fix the underlying reason

why you have inflammation and I’m not

going to recommend going to the health

of store and taking a pill tumeric or

some type of omega-3 fatty acid to try

to get rid of inflammation because I’ve

been in practice for thirty years those

things do not work unless you fix the

person’s eating their general eating

plan

okay glucose is highly inflammatory it’s

a potent trigger for inflammation okay

then cludes all types of sugar vegetable

oils that you would get in the store soy

corn canola omega-6 are also

inflammatory and then we get to insulin

okay is anti-inflammatory but high

levels of insulin in

blood are inflammatory okay so it can go

either way so what happens is that when

you consume too much glucose or sugar or

carbs okay what happens is you’re gonna

start increasing insulin and then the

insulin is going to develop into a

condition called insulin resistance so

it’s not going to work anymore so that

means on the inside of the cell we’re

gonna have low amounts of insulin

so remember insulin is anti-inflammatory

so if you don’t have enough you’re going

to get the opposite effect yet in the

blood because of the feedback mechanisms

you’re gonna start developing higher and

higher amounts of insulin to try to

connect and create the effect because

insulin is trying to lower this glucose

in the blood so we have a situation that

we have insulin resistance and that is

creating more and more inflammation okay

and if you just do research on insulin

resistance you’re gonna find a ton of

data on the connection between this and

your inflammatory condition okay if you

can actually lower insulin resistance

you can lower inflammation greatly okay

when you want to do it through eating

okay we want to change your eating a

better practice for 30 years in every

single inflammatory case that came in my

office because I dealt with pain

inflammation all day long the diet was

just a filled with carbohydrates okay

and they were eating too frequently

they’re usually hypoglycemic eating very

frequently to have all these snacks or

they were pre-diabetic or they were just

doing a lot a lot of carbs okay tons of

carbs and what they didn’t know is the

relationship between carbohydrates and

inflammation so as soon as they got that

knowledge and went on a low-carb eating

plan information just kind of went away

so but you want to combine two things to

drop inflammation you want to go to a

low carb and we call that healthy

ketosis and you also wanted to

intermittent fasting because that is

even more powerful to reduce

inflammation than just doing healthy

keto now if you’ve never heard about

keto I put a link down below of exactly

how to do it so I recommend check with

your doctor get on this eating plan and

experience no more pain no more

inflammation you have to test this up

for yourself to see that it will work

for you thanks for watching

so I want to know about what you think
