i wanted to talk about all the problems with  chronic inflammation and there’s quite a few  

let’s start with the artery okay the inside  of the artery has this little lining of  

cells called the endothelial cells and when you  expose that layer of the inside of your artery  

to things that cause inflammation or oxidation  or free radical damage like sugar having a high  

sugar level or omega-6 oils especially or other  things like tobacco smoke or alcohol whatever  

you create irritation you create chronic  inflammation and from that condition you  

can get a clot because the proteins start to get  become sticky you can then get a stroke or heart  

attack and this also makes the artery thicker  and more rigid leading to high blood pressure  

also the inflammation on the inside of the  artery causes a healing effect where the  

body comes in with a band-aid with cholesterol  with calcium and scar tissue okay so then you  

get an atherosclerotic plaque that can build  up in the artery and also cause a heart attack  

one really really good thing to prevent and  reverse this is get on the healthy ketogenic diet  

and do intermittent fasting okay and also take  something called tocotrienols which is a type of  

vitamin e that’s very powerful to help heal and  protect the inside of the artery from becoming  

damaged and inflamed also omega-3 fatty acids like  cod liver oil or fish oils are very very important  

now let’s go to asthma which is a condition where  your lungs are involved there’s inflammation  

vitamin d3 is the best antidote for that this  is why kids with asthma if they’re on the sun  

find great relief with breathing if they have  asthma now arthritis there’s two major types i  

want to talk about number one is the degenerative  joint disease where you just have wear and tear on  

the in the joints and the inflammation that can  develop from that is just from irritation in the  

joints because you lost collagen cartilage  connective tissue one of the best remedies  

for that that i found is stinging nettle root and  it seems to work really good for that condition  

shifting gears an autoimmune condition there’s  quite a few where your body is attacking itself  

creating inflammation this usually starts in  the gut there’s also usually stress involved  

i found personally there’s a link between a  major loss which shocks the adrenal system  

and the immune system and allows this condition to  progress one of the best remedies for this would  

be getting on a low carb diet the healthy keto  diet and regular intermittent fasting and a lot  

of vitamin d for this condition many times  you need to do higher amounts of vitamin d  

starting with like 30 or 40,000 IUs of  vitamin d on a regular basis and this seems to  

greatly improve this condition because vitamin d3  is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatories  

all right next point is stress that activates  cortisol to the point where you either have a  

cortisol resistant situation where even though  there’s a lot of cortisol going through your  

body which normally is anti-inflammatory it  doesn’t work because the receptors are downgraded  

so it’s ineffective or it’s a situation where  you have a low amount of cortisol because the  

adrenals are burnt out as in addison’s disease  in this situation one of the best remedies is  

to support the adrenal directly as well as take  vitamin d3 vitamin d3 is not really even a vitamin  

it is a hormone and it acts like cortisol but  without the side effects so cortisol really is  

an anti-inflammatory but if it’s not working you  get inflammation just think about any condition  

any medical condition involving inflammation  whether it’s just from having an autoimmune  

disease or some skin problem or pain in your back  what do they use prednisone what’s prednisone  

it’s a synthetic version of cortisol all right  so shifting gears now we have diabetes which is  

a state of high blood sugars which creates a lot  of inflammation in the body and this is because  

high levels of sugar in the blood act like steel  wool or sandpaper to the inside of the arteries  

the inside of the kidneys on the nerves  in the eyes and it creates inflammation  

what is the best antidote well reducing the  carbohydrates and reducing the sugar in the diet  

and doing intermittent fasting  all right next point is just  

junk food in general okay refined foods what’s  lacking refined foods is the antioxidants  

okay and the nutrients that act like antioxidants  that then allow more oxidation and free radicals  

to create more damage in your dna and the tissues  and so you just need to avoid refined foods and  

eat foods high in nutrients and naturally high  in antioxidants all right next point would be  

infections let’s say you had some bacterial  infection that you have a tooth infection  

that can create inflammation in different  places in your body even in your heart  

which is actually quite fascinating and in your  joints there are people that have arthritis  

that’s all stemming from a tooth infection okay  i’ve done a video on this and you can check it  

out people that have chronic fatigue syndrome  or fibromyalgia usually have some type of  

infection in their body it could be either virus  like an epstein-barr virus or it could be lyme  

or it can be some other virus that is going in  remission in outer emission triggered by stress  

or age or whatever the best remedy for this is to  reduce your stress as much as possible and take  

things that are anti-microbial like garlic  oregano thyme and herbs that actually can  

put these viruses back into remission i’ve  done videos on that i’ll put a link down  

below now let’s talk about cancer which is an  interesting topic in relationship to inflammation  

cancer tends to follow inflammation it tends to  go into areas of your body that are inflamed this  

is why cancer tends to show up in areas of old  injury which is very interesting i’ve done a video  

on this and so there’s definitely associations  between inflammation and cancer increased risk  

of getting cancer with high levels of inflammation  probably because it’s connected with higher levels  

of maybe viruses or carcinogens or damage in  the body does inflammation directly cause cancer  

we’re not sure it could but we don’t know  yet but we do know there are carcinogens  

and there’s also anti-cancer foods there are  certain things in foods especially phytonutrients  

for example that have powerful anti-cancer  effects that can help you prevent cancer  

and then if you have cancer it can  actually help you kill cancer too  

i’ve done videos on this the other very important  thing to do if you have cancer is fasting  

fasting probably has the most potent effect  over cancer of anything because when you fast  

you turn on all sorts of anti-cancer genes and  you can even put a cancer gene that’s active  

into an inactive state when you do fasting  and fasting directly has a potent effect  

over chronic inflammation if you’re new to my  channel and you want more information about that  

check out the video down below hey before  you go real quick i have a course entitled  

how to bulletproof your immune system it’s a  free course i want you to take it and here’s why  

here’s you here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here avoiding  

your environment but what about here what  about strengthening your immune system  

that’s what’s missing this course will show  you how to bulletproof yourself and so you  

can tolerate and resist your environment much  better by strengthening your own immune system  

i put a link down in the description right down  below check it out and get signed up today you
