so today we’re gonna talk about the

three hidden causes of inflammation and

of all the medications sold in the u.s.

even worldwide

it’s the anti-inflammatories that

dominate because so many people are

taking meds for inflammation more than

any other condition and I’m going to

talk about the three hidden causes of

inflammation that you may have not heard

about before okay if we take cortisol

for example cortisol is an adrenal

hormone okay and it is the hormone in

the body that is supposed to stop

inflammation it’s supposed to inhibit

inflammatory conditions now think about

any condition that involves inflammation

whether it’s autoimmune or just pain and

inflammation in general they always use

prednisone cortisol cream cortisone

injections it’s all cortisol but of

course it’s synthetic and yes it comes

with a package but the point is that

cortisol stops inflammation now if that

is true then chronic inflammatory

conditions must be a state of low

cortisol right makes a logical sense but

if that’s true how do you explain all

the people who have arthritis serious

inflammation they go get tested and they

have high cortisol or normal cortisol

okay

I mean look look at this this is a sip

encyclopedia medical illustrations

endocrine system volume four on page 84

okay there’s a condition called

Cushing’s syndrome okay right here so

this is a very common condition it’s in

a situation where you have too much

cortisol okay so I’m just going to go

through the symptoms yeah belly fat you

have major inflammation throughout the

body you have sleep problems high blood

pressure gastric acidity heartburn you

have a lowered immune system you have

excessive thoughts you keep thinking

thinking thinking can’t turn it off you

have a low tolerance to stress but you

you have a lot of inflammation the body

from high cortisol why is that that is

because of this

and I did another video on insulin

resistance and I told you that I was

going to do a video on cortisol

resistance there’s a condition called

cortisol resistance in which the

receptor for cortisol is downgraded in

other words it doesn’t receive that well

anymore so we have the adrenal gland

that produces cortisol it’s supposed to

go into a receptor and if there’s too

much of that hormone being pumped out

because the person is under chronic

stress whatever then the receptor is

going to downgrade and protect the body

against the excess amount of course all

because it’s it’s not good for the body

to have too much cortisol your side

effects let me just look at prednisone

the side effects from prednisone it’s

like it’s crazy so the body will protect

itself especially the inside of the cell

and certain delicate tissues by creating

resistance okay the problem is then that

blocks the return communication the

negative feedback loop and so now the

adrenal doesn’t get the message that

disconnected so the body keeps making

more and more cortisol so now we have a

situation where we have certain parts of

the body that have a low cortisol and

other parts of the body that have high

cortisol this explains the confusion

people have because the symptoms for

high are almost identical to the

symptoms with low now there is another

condition called Addison’s disease okay

which is very rare where your basically

your adrenals aren’t functioning anymore

and you’re very very thin your skin

becomes tan or darker but you have very

serious right can’t fight it serious

immune problems okay but the point is

that when you have too much cortisol it

can produce a state where you get a lot

of chronic inflammation why because you

develop the resistance okay resistance

in the cell now

what I want to talk about is what causes

this cortisol resistance it’s chronic

stress okay and I want to increase your

awareness and what that means it could

also be being lonely for a long period

of time okay that can increase cortisol

or having lost sense

okay a loss of a loved one or a

threatened loss okay I mean when my son

was six months old he developed

infantile botulism okay

that’s a pretty serious disease it kills

all the nerves only twenty children a

year get it it’s very rare and he got it

okay it created a lot of stress with our

family he’s doing fine now

but the point is that that’s a threat of

a loss okay so you have losses you have

surgeries trauma mental stress

especially if you’re not exercising okay

no sleep I mean I remember myself I had

12 years where I did not sleep very well

there was nights I didn’t sleep for one

minute I stayed up all that long

so that actually really wore out my

adrenals in fact that’s why I’m doing

this video right now because I had this

condition the point is that there are

all these triggers that can happen and a

lot of people have chronic stress and

that creates this problem right here

and eventually they develop chronic

inflammation in the NIP road on a

medication okay here’s the problem when

you lose the function of course all you

also lose the control of your immune

system you become more susceptible to

viruses viruses go in like a rocket ship

okay and that leads me to another cause

of inflammation and that’s a chronic

infection okay so now chronic infection

could also come from taking a lot of

antibiotics it could come from your

entire gut being imbalance because you

don’t have enough flora it can come from

many things it could also come from an

adrenal situation as well but a lot of

people have this chronic inflammatory

condition because they have microbes

growing in the body in excessive amounts

it could be also it could be viral

it could be bacterial it could be yeast

it could be nano bacteria

it could be Michael plasma and then one

day they might discover it because they

take an antibiotic and they feel great

well that’s just a big clue that you

have microbes growing in your body and

that’s what’s creating the inflammation

maybe in a joint or in a different part

of the body these people usually also

have chronic fatigue syndrome what I’m

going to recommend is to take a natural

herbal

antibiotic and I had videos on there

more than an actual antibiotic because

you’re gonna just make the problem worse

over time now a lot of times these

crossover you can have a problem of

cortisol and problem with infections or

problem with infections and can stress

out the adrenals and cause high levels

of cortisol but when you lose the

adrenal function okay and you can have

high cortisol and it’s just not working

you open the door for viruses and also

you can open the door for getting

autoimmune diseases okay it’s it’s

nearly always related to some stress

event that comes right before that

autoimmune condition okay so now that

you’re trying with that let’s talk about

the third cause of inflammation which is

basically insulin resistance you may

already know this I have a lot of videos

on this I’ve been talking about this

I’ll put some links down below but if

you’re new to my channel and you don’t

know this this is going to be very

important insulin resistance is the

condition where you’re producing too

much insulin okay that excess amount

causes a lot of inflammation in the body

plus the fact that this is triggered by

your high carbohydrate diet and your

frequency of eating okay so if you eat

too frequently and you have too many

carbs you are going to eventually get

inflammation so what you need to do is

get on the program to reduce your carbs

and do in a minute fasting there’s a

link down below for that but if I had a

chronic inflammation okay I would be on

a healthy keto plan I would do in a

minute fasting that’s gonna bring it

right down I’d probably if I had any

possible infection going on I would take

an herbal antibiotic some natural ones

like garlic on a regular basis and I

would do everything I can to get out of

my stress situation okay improve the

stress and focus on getting more sleep

go for long walks and whatever is

triggering this trying to minimize the

damage control and you would find out

that your inflammation would drop very

very fast okay so go ahead and try it

and give me your comments below I’ll see
