so today we’re going to talk about using

fasting to rid chronic inflammation

now inflammation has a couple purposes

one it’s there to repair injury so you

sprain an ankle inflammation comes in

there to help bring all sorts of immune

cells to help repair the action and also

to bring in scar tissue as a part of the

healing process then you have a defense

mechanism against infection so you have

certain microbes bacteria yeast Candida

nano bacteria which are various very

small microbes mycoplasma

which is a kind of a microbe without a

cell wall it uses information to help

contain these microbes let’s seeyou the

sinus allergy where your immune system

is generating this mucus to help contain

the pollen or dust or grass particles

which your body is considering a threat

to these it’s survival and then you have

food allergies right where people are

allergic to all these different foods

and in this video I’m not going to get

into why you created the algae in the

first place the fact is that if you have

food allergy every time you eat it

you’re creating inflammation over and

over and over

so all this inflammation generates scar

tissue in the lungs in the joints and

the liver because you can go from

hepatitis which is inflammation liver to

cirrhosis and the also get scar tissue

from actual plaquing in the arteries

from some type of inflammatory condition

in your vascular system now when you go

from acute inflammation to chronic

inflammation this is where it’s

inappropriate okay

chronic inflammation does you no good it

has no long-term survival benefit in

fact if you take autoimmune conditions

for example you have your own body

attacking itself and you have all this

collateral damage that’s going on so

people are forced to take prednisone and

steroids because cortisol suppresses an

over-reactive immune system and this is

why people take prednisone for example

for all these allergy reactions and

autoimmune conditions and skin

conditions which are inflammatory and

people take these because the adrenal

glands are wore out no longer can you

make this adrenal hormone anymore so

your adrenal glands are exhausted so you

have to

bypassed the body and give it the

steroids directly the longer you have

inflammation in your body the more

insulin resistance you get as well so

there’s a huge connection between

inflammation and insulin resistance okay

which is a pre-diabetic situation and

also cancer spreads into areas of

inflammation or old injury which is very

interesting okay so now that you got

that what can we do about it

well fasting fasting is the most

powerful thing you can do to turn off

chronic inflammation now if you injure

yourself and you have normal

inflammation fasting is not going to get

rid of the normal inflammation fasting

turns off certain genes related to

inflammation so picture this you have

your genetics which is like the hardware

which doesn’t really change but you also

have the software that controls the

expression of certain genes and the term

for that is epigenetics which means

above genetics it’s the software that

causes the expression of these genes and

that relates to your environment your

food your nutrition your stress level

exercise when you eat when you don’t eat

but fasting turns off the genes that

causes inflammation now if you have an

autoimmune condition there’s a couple

things you can do to turn that off

number one you can fast okay or number

two you can get pregnant so apparently

pregnancy also turns off the same gene

so you have a couple choices you can

either stay pregnant keep having kids

each year after year or you can do

fasting now you can also take vitamin D

because vitamin D acts like cortisol in

the body which is an anti-inflammatory

but fasting done correctly which I

always recommend doing intermittent

fasting and then gradually working into

longer fast and then doing periodic

prolonged fasting especially if you have

autoimmune conditions because it’s the

inflammation that creates all the damage

and if you can get rid of the

inflammation problem solved

fasting also bolsters and increases your

antioxidant Network your body actually

makes antioxidants so

fasting will increase this to repair the

damage from the inflammation also if

you’re fasting and you don’t have as

much inflammation your dreams don’t have

to work so hard so your adrenal glands

can start to recover fasting is very

therapeutic for the adrenal glands plus

when you get rid of this hyper immune

response your histamines go down your

energy goes up but if you have any

chronic inflammation in your body you

need to learn more about it and try it

it will work if you’re liking this
