The Inflammatory Process
and Your Body's Healing Process
Whenever the body has something in it that it finds NOT normal: i.e.
the way the body is meant to be, your body's circulatory system brings
extra fluid to the area to flush out the free radicals, toxins, etc.
This process is called the inflammatory process.
It will happen anywhere in our bodies, i.e. knees...when we don't have
enough natural lubricant, ears...when there is some type of irritation
( Meniere's Disease ). Fibromyalgia …Pain centers, Diabetes, when our bodies
can't produce enough insulin to neutralize the extra sugar we eat.
When we are healthy, the body has lots of natural fighters known as
"anti-oxidants" which it gets from food and water and a good
environment, moderate exercise, rest, etc.
Once all these situations change.. and a few of the changes are;
food has no real nutritional value any longer (transportation,
chemicals added, plus..), too much exercise, environmental pollution,
drugs to correct the problems, chemicals in foods or hormones in
animals.... sometimes the body gets confused and "eats itself"
(auto-immune condition)
In most cases, you HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS.
So the natural thing for your body to do is to try and remove these
challenges.
Imagine this situation.
You just stepped on a rusty nail it. It hurts to pull it
out.* Chances are it's rusty and you know you "left behind" some debris.
It starts to hurt and throb a bit.
Or maybe you got a paper cut on your hand: ouch that hurts!
The area reddens very quickly.
Or maybe you banged your elbow and now this area is
starting to get red also.
These are all examples of the inflammatory process in
action.
The body doesn't like any type of "visitors" and sends out
an army of extra fluid, including many white cells…white because they
contain anti-oxidants which will lead the fight.
Yes, it depends on the type of visitors, (bacteria, virus,
foreign body, etc.) but more likely it will depends upon the number of
extra visitors. This army likes to do combat "one on one". The visitors in
the body are called "free radicals" and are not welcome. The job of the
inflammatory system is to make the visitors harmless by neutralizing them.
How? They pair/neutralize them with an anti-oxidant. How can the body get
a regular supply of anti-oxidants…through its food. What form does it food
take…Nutrients such as vitamins. How does the body keep up with the
constant demand? It can't unless you feed it these nutrients. If they
aren't in the body to fight, the body is overwhelmed by these free
radicals and the inflammatory process is unable to help…so the free
radicals take over. The enemy has won and slowly all the remaining also
are used up/eliminated. And disease takes over.
