Inflammation We
all know inflammation as the localised pain, redness, heat and swelling we get
with injury; sprains and strains, cuts and grazes; insect bites and stings, and
so forth. However this same process that produces these familiar symptoms also
drives most diseases. Almost all pain is the result of inflammation –
arthritis, and other joint, back and muscle problems; digestive disorders like
irritable bowel disease or ulcerative colitis; and many types of headache. If
it hurts – you can be sure that inflammation is involved. Inflammation – The Silent Killer The
problem is that you can have inflammation in your body without the familiar
indicators of inflammation. This is why inflammation has been called the
“silent killer”. A typical example of this type of inflammation is the
underlying process behind heart disease and clogged
arteries. It is important to
note that 50% of all cardiovascular disease patients actually don’t have the
traditionally recognised risk factors (high cholesterol, high blood pressure,
etc). Very often the first sign of this sort of inflammation is an unexpected
heart attack! Such “silent” inflammation is also a fundamental contributor
to conditions such as fibromyalgia and
chronic fatigue syndrome. Controlling Inflammation Inflammation
is the normal response our immune system generates to all sorts of challenges,
such as injury, infection and toxicity. However once inflammation becomes
chronic, for instance because the body is depleted of
nutrients and stressed, proper healing cannot occur. At this stage inflammation
produces chemicals (cytokines), which lead not only to pain, but also to tissue damage and
disease. The
importance of controlling inflammation in disease is obvious by the enormous
number of
pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs that we use – from aspirin and
paracetamol for mild conditions; to the more potent ”non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs”; to the most powerful “steroidal”
anti-inflammatory agents. Pharmaceutical
Anti-Inflammatories Carry Risks While they can be immensely effective in alleviating pain and inflammation, many if not most, of these drugs can produce undesirable side effects. As little as 10mg of aspirin may cause gastrointestinal damage and bleeding. Recently some anti-inflammatory drugs were recalled from the market after it became evident that they increased the risk of heart attack. I am not arguing against the life-saving properties of steroidal anti-inflammatories, as in asthma. However they can inhibit immune responses and affect our capacity to cope with stress by suppressing our adrenal gland function long term. Safe,
Effective Natural Anti-Inflammatory Options Fortunately,
natural medicine can provide some excellent anti-inflammatory options. One
product in particular,
Kaprex,
a combination of extracts from Hops,
Rosemary and Olive leaf,
which has remarkable anti-inflammatory
activity, and established safety for both the digestive and cardiovascular
systems. This combination has proven extremely effective in helping to control
pain associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatism and period pain, and in more
acute cases of painful muscles and joints from over exercise and tension. Modern
formulations such as this can be very rapid in their action. Clinicians at the Functional Medicine Research Center have confirmed the powerful anti-inflammatory effectiveness of Kaprex. Studies at the Center have shown that Kaprex is as effective as many pharmaceutical products, without the reported potentially dangerous side effects of long-term use of these drugs. Studies have shown that the “silent killer” type inflammation that underlies many chronic diseases can also be reduced. Extracts of Turmeric have been used traditionally for anti-inflammatory relief, however the active anti-inflammatory ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, is poorly absorbed. Nalgesic a product containing, Cumerone 1, a patented curcumin complex with superior bio availability. It
is important to appreciate that, as people and different conditions are so
complex, no single product can be expected to remedy every situation. This is as
true for pharmaceutical medicine as it is of natural medicine. Fortunately,
natural medicine provides many options that are safe and free of the long-term
side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. Various
