How inflammation affects your health

2/25/2013

Inflammation can control our lives.  Have you or a loved one ever dealt (or currently deal) with pain, obesity, ADD/ADHD, peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, migraines, thyroid issues, dental issues, cancer, digestive issues, depression, anxiety, or fatigue?

If you answered yes to any of these disorders you are dealing with inflammation.  Sadly, most of us are suffering from one or more of these disorders but have no idea how to eliminate inflammation.  Most doctors use pharmaceuticals/drugs to cover up the root cause.

If often seems extremely foreign to most people when they realize the majority of inflammatory diseases start in the gut (or a poor diet) with an autoimmune reaction which progresses into systemic inflammation.  To truly be effective at managing or hopefully overcome a disease it needs to be addressed on all levels and taking a look at where this process starts.

So where does inflammation begin?

Your gut is made of an incredibly large and intricate semi-permeable lining.  The surface area of your gut can cover two tennis courts when stretched out flat.  Its degree of permeability fluctuates in response to a variety of chemically mediated conditions.  For example, when your cortisol is elevated, due to stress, or your thyroid hormone levels fluctuate your intestinal lining become more permeable in a matter of minutes.  They, you sit down to eat and partially undigested food, toxins, viruses, yeast, and bacteria have the opportunity to pass through the intestine and access the bloodstream... this can lead to leaky gut syndrome, or LGS.  When the intestinal lining is repeatedly damaged due to reoccurring leaky gut syndrome, damaged cells called microvilli become unable to do their job properly.  They become unable to process and utilize the nutrients and enzymes that are vital to proper digestion.  Eventually, digestion is impaired and absorption of nutrients is negatively affected.  As more exposure occurs, your body initiates an attack on these foreign invaders.  It responds with inflammation, allergic reactions, and other symptoms we relate to a variety of diseases.

So you might ask, what's the harm of inflammation and ongoing allergic reactions?

It may sound relatively harmless, but this situation can and often does lead to numerous serious and debilitating diseases.  Since your immune system can become overburdened, these inflammatory triggers are cycled continuously through your blood where they affect nerves, organ, connective tissue, joints and muscles...  Now you can probably begin to see how 'chronic' disease can develop.
