And the list goes on. Nutri-West products such as Total FLM and Total Green are excellent to supply your patients with these anti-inflammatory nutrients.
Then we come to stress, also known as the silent killer. The organs that are affected most by stress are the adrenal glands. One of the primary jobs of the adrenal glands is to produce adrenalin when we perceive we are in danger, like when we are in danger and we need to escape or when we see someone under a heavy object and somehow have the strength to lift it. These are important to our survival. The problem comes when we are under chronic stress due to day-to-day life like helping patients, being a parent or a spouse, traffic and maybe the worst, dealing with insurance companies.
Hans Selye, a Canadian researcher, called chronic stress “the syndrome of just being sick.” When lab animals were placed under stress for prolonged periods, he noted that the adrenal cortex enlarged, the spleen, thymus, lymph nodes and all other lymphatic tissue atrophied. Finally chronic stress caused deep bleeding in the stomach and duodenum.
The chart at top right shows the three stages of Dr. Selye’s general adaptative syndrome:
22. Pancreatin 23. Rutin
24. Glycomacropeptides in Whey
25. Organic Sprouts 26. Parsley 27. Probiotics 28. Spirulina 29. Beta Sitosterol
Any time the body is under long term stress it reacts by secreting cortisol. When cortisol levels rise this leads to inflammation. One of the things that happens is adjustments don’t hold like they should. If I have a patient that doesn’t seem to hold adjustments, I immediately think stress and adrenal glands.
Conclusion
Steps to take in reducing inflammation and thereby chronic pain:
• Greatly reduce or eliminate the use of NSAID’S. • Fight the effects of inflammation by improving our diet to improve the Omega 6/Omega 3 ratio by reducing vegetable oils and increasing EPA and DHA by taking a quality fish oil. This requires 2-10 grams of EPA and DHA per day for 4-6 months. • Take supplements that include Boswellia, ginger,
turmeric,
curcumin, milk thistle, quercetin, alpha lipoic acid, and other anti-inflammatory herbs and nutrients.
• Use Low Level Laser to reduce inflammation, increase circulation and increase the production of ATP by the mitochondria.
• If stress is the main cause of inflammation, take a good adrenal support, meditate and exercise.
