Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

I want to give you the best thing to do if you have pain or inflammation or you're on

some type of the Cox-2 inhibitor or some other pain medication. So first let's talk about what

Cox-2 means, okay? This is an immune response, whether it's in response to an injury for a healing

response or it's to attack a microbe to kill it. And so they created these Cox-2 inhibitors that

block that inflammation and a lot of people take them from pain, a lot of people take way too many

of these medications and they have a lot of side effects. Inflammation typically when it starts

is actually a good thing, but the problem is when the inflammation is not appropriate anymore

and it's become chronic, but that's when we need to get rid of it because this inflammation can

literally dissolve your bones, destroy your joints, create massive degeneration within the body,

and also cancer tends to follow into areas of inflammation. So typically people take

for a Cox-2 inhibitor, Tylenol, or aspirin, or even biox, which was taken off the market.

Before I get into what I think is one of the best natural Cox-2 inhibitors,

I want to just briefly mention this one topic which is your genetics. Fairly recently they've

discovered genetic weaknesses for inflammation and pain. And so I listed a whole series of genes

that if you have a specific problem with these genes, you may, if the triggers are there,

have more pain, more inflammation than someone who doesn't have a problem with these. And the

reason I'm even bringing this up is because I had a DNA evaluation and apparently that is my

my weakness. I have a lot of problems with the genes that I'm showing you right now. So for example,

if I overexercise, for example, or do the wrong type of exercise, I will just end up with inflammation

for a long period of time. If I have some dental work, the inflammation will linger for a lot longer.
