Understanding Inflammation: Tackling the Toxicity Dilemma

When inflammation occurs in a specific organ, it results from an accumulation of toxins in the body. This is one of the body's self-defense mechanisms.

Pain is not a disease but the body's natural response to the buildup of toxins and waste, or to cell and tissue dehydration.

Unbroken-down proteins often get trapped in the fluid surrounding the cells. This fluid is part of the connective tissue, drained by the lymphatic system, and can become overloaded due to digestive issues. To protect cells from proteins and toxins, the intercellular fluid acts as a barrier, preventing oxidation of the cells, hence the pain appears.

The immune system naturally reduces pain by releasing endorphins from the brain into the bloodstream, while simultaneously working to remove toxins from cells and maintaining a strong, purifying immune response. When synthetic painkillers are used, they may create an 'electrical short circuit' in the pain signal, disturbing the body's communication and preventing it from removing all the toxins and trapped proteins. This also stops the body from recognizing emerging issues, inhibiting natural healing.

There are plants that can alleviate pain without interfering with the immune system's healing process:

- Frankincense (Boswellia), a medicinal herb, can improve and ease pain, counteract tumors, and reduce blood lipids.

- Oils extracted from evening primrose and borage relieve arthritis inflammation.

- Fish oil aids in reducing inflammation. DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids are effective anti-inflammatories.

- Ginger tea made from fresh root is recommended three times a day, brewed, in capsules, or as a concentrated extract.

Naturally assisting the body in its detox efforts involves sufficient hydration—10-15 cups per day, ensuring 7-8 hours of sleep each night, and regular exposure to fresh air and sunlight, as sunlight significantly boosts the immune system.

It's important to avoid smoking, alcohol, sugary drinks, constant stress, overeating—especially at night, and processed foods.

Consume nutrient-rich and antioxidant foods, and engage in physical activity, such as walking for 40 minutes daily. These practices are essential for maintaining body function.
