Summary

Inflammation is an immune reaction! Chronic inflammation over time can lead to serious health problems like cancer, which tends to invade areas of inflammation.

Fibromyalgia involves inflammation that spreads throughout the entire body. Many people with fibromyalgia have it on the right side of the body and also have pain underneath the right rib cage.

Fibromyalgia all over the body is usually caused by a virus that has come out of remission. Viruses such as the Epstein-Barr virus, shingles, and herpes come out of remission when your immune system is weak. Stress is a common trigger because it activates cortisol, which suppresses the immune system.

Lyme disease can cause pain and inflammation in the body and downgrade your ability to use vitamin D. Vitamin D is the most important vitamin for your immune system. It can increase the immune system or bring down an overactive immune system.

More causes of inflammation include the following:

•Old injuries

•Inflammatory oncotaxis

•Food allergies

•High cortisol

•Sugar, starch, and seed oils

•Too much visceral fat

•Insulin resistance

•Autoimmune diseases

•Soy protein isolates

•EMFs

•Certain medications

•Too much iron

•Fibroids

The following remedies may help reduce inflammation in the body:

•Vitamin D3

•L. reuteri probiotics

•Carnivore diet

•Low-carb diet

•Intermittent fasting

•Omega-3 fatty acids

•The opposite technique (acupressure)

0:00.0	I'd like to talk about the science of inflammation. Unfortunately, a lot of people have inflammation.
0:04.6	They go to the doctor. They get put on a certain medication, and that's pretty much it.
0:08.6	But they're covering up the root cause. Dealing with inflammation goes way beyond just taking some fish oils.
0:13.5	And I've been very lucky to be in practice for over 30 years to really see the underlying root causes of inflammation.
0:20.7	Because some of these causes are not in the
0:22.6	medical literature. Inflammation is an immune reaction. It's not just about treating a pathogen or some
0:29.0	virus or bacteria. The problem is when inflammation goes on too long, that's when we get all sorts of
0:34.1	problems like cancer. Cancer tends to invade areas of inflammation. And anytime we have
0:41.1	inflammation, we also have a lack of oxygen. And both inflammation and hypoxia causes cancer to grow
0:48.5	more aggressively. Let's start with the first one, fibromyalgia, which is inflammation that spreads throughout the entire body.
0:56.9	Now, when I was in practice, I reached out to my patients to find out who had fibromyalgia.
1:02.0	100% of all of these patients had fibromyalgia only on the right side of their body.
1:08.4	As I was digging in further, I found out that they all had problems
1:12.9	underneath the red rib cage. That's where you have the little tubes that are called bile ducts.
1:18.3	And sometimes the bile that's supposed to flow from the liver into the gallbladder becomes
1:23.5	thickened and it can create a backup of bile into the liver and that bile is like a detergent.
1:30.7	It can irritate the liver and it can cause pain that radiates up into the right shoulder,
1:36.2	up into the neck from something called bile sludge. I did something very interesting. I had
1:41.2	them massage underneath the right rib cage and just to hold that pressure
1:45.7	for about a minute. And then I would reevaluate the pain and it was like it went down to almost zero.
1:51.1	I put them all on a remedy of taking bile salts with their food and also on an empty stomach.
1:57.3	One type of bile salt is called Tudka and and that just kind of really opens up that flow,
