Is Inflammation the “Root” of All Disease? 
Studies have shown that inflammation exacerbates most, if not all, diseases. Normally, inflammation is part of the body’s immune response to injury or infection. It helps to kill the pathogens that cause infections, and stimulates the healing process. The problem arises when chronic inflammation is not treated to alleviate the body’s excess heat abundance.
When the body can no longer handle the constantly inflamed areas, it eventually begins to facilitate the formation of disease processes. 

Researchers have begun to link inflammation problems to an ever-widening array of chronic diseases. This new viewpoint is changing the way medical research is conducted. “Virtually our entire research and development effort is now focused on inflammation and cancer,” says Dr. Paul Ridker, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, adds that just a few years ago “nobody was interested in this stuff. Now the whole field of inflammation research is about to explode.” 
Over a period of time chronic inflammation destabilizes cholesterol deposits in the coronary arteries, leading to heart attacks and strokes. As well, it destroys nerve cells in the brain, which leads to dementia and Alzheimer’s. Inflammation can even encourage the proliferation of abnormal cells that transform into cancer. In other words, chronic inflammation may be the conduit that drives most of the feared illnesses of middle and old age. 

Prevention and Reversal of Systemic Inflammation: 
Healthy lifestyle choices such as excercising, not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight and minimizing stress all help to reduce inflammation. Another important factor in fighting inflammation is the food you eat. Health experts, from Dr. Sears (The Zone) to alternative medicine guru Andrew Weil (Healthy Aging), recommend an anti-inflammatory diet for everything from weight loss to heart disease prevention. 


An Anti-Inflammatory Protocol: 
In addition to positive dietary and lifestyle choices, an important part of your anti-inflammatory protocol should involve several key elements of prevention listed below ... 

Omega-3 fatty acids excel at quelling inflammation. Research has shown that they suppress the production of the chemical messengers of inflammation. When Omega-3 is present in sufficient quantities in the cell envelope, the cell is unable to be transformed into an inflammatory cell – rather it remains neutral. 

Electrolytes (alkalizing salts) are critical to maintaining the integrity of the body’s cell structure. Cells use a considerable amount of energy to maintain proper pH environment. Whenever a deficiency of electrolytes occurs, cells start to lose their ion equilibrium, resulting in significant deterioration and damage. Even slightly acidic conditions cause tissues and organs to become inflamed, eventually leading to chronic disease. 

Serra-Peptidase is a multi-functional proteolytic enzyme (known as “silk worm” enzyme) that dissolves non-living tissues such as fibrin, plague, blood clots, cysts, as well as all types of inflammation – without harming living tissue. An amazing quality of serra-peptidase is its dramatic ability to reduce pain by blocking the release of pain-inducing amines. Serra-peptidase has been found to be effective against inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, ear, nose and throat conditions, injury-related swelling, sinus and respiratory conditions, and vascular conditions, and has been used to dissolve arterial plaque.
