Let me tell you about something terrifying happening in our community right now…
And no one’s talking about it.
I see it everywhere I go.
Moms who can barely make it through work without needing to sit down.
Pops whose knees are giving out decades too early.
Young folks dealing with health issues that used to only show up in their grandparents’ generation.
Something ain’t right.
And it’s getting worse.
I’m talking about unexplainable diabetes. Random weight gain. Constant bloating. Gut issues that won’t quit.
It’s like there’s this invisible “sick state” creeping through our people…
Slowing us down from the inside out.
Want to know the craziest part?
It all comes down to ONE thing.
Chronic Inflammation
I found mountains of evidence that chronic inflammation was the root cause of many of the conditions that were causing our people to suffer.
Chronic Inflammation is at the root of most of the health care problems in our great country.
It targets the immune system, which is the master switch for your energy, mood and health… every moment of every day.
For example, Dr. Don Colbert, bestselling author of “Let Food Be Your Medicine,” wrote…
“Heart disease is hidden in more than half of adults over the age of thirty- five. About half of the people who have heart attacks have normal cholesterol levels. The root cause of heart diseases is not high cholesterol, but inflammation.”
This is why doctors often prescribe Aspirin – an anti-inflammatory blood thinner – to people who are at risk of cardiovascular disea
ses.
The problem is that Aspirin, and other anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen, Singulair, Celebrex and Mobic, only target some of the inflammatory pathways in the body, so while they can bring targeted relief, they don’t solve the problem at its root.
And while I’m just as likely as anyone to reach for a bottle of Advil when I have a pounding headache, I counsel my clients to use these painkillers
extremely sparingly.
In a clinical study, Dr. Gareth Davies discovered something wild…
65% of people taking these meds long-term end up with inflammation in their gut.
Which can spread arthritis through your entire body.
Talk about making things worse.
And Dr. Floyd Chilton, of the Wake Forest School of Medicine, wrote
“inflammation is a major driving force behind type 2 diabetes and dementia. In fact, inflammation may play a major role in the category of ailments and diseases we have previously called ‘aging’.”
So as you can see, inflammation ends up affecting everything in the body.
Joint pain, weight gain, blood pressure, energy…
But why is this happening to our community?
Simple.
Look around at what we’re exposed to every single day…
What In The World Is Behind The Catastrophic
Rise Of Chronic Inflammation?
Well, consider how many chemicals you’ve been exposed to in the past 24 hours.
Let’s start in the bathroom: parabens in your shampoo, fluoride in your toothpaste, and if you’re a woman, phthalates and even lead in your makeup!
Do you use dryer sheets doing laundry? Remember, your skin is your body’s most absorbent organ, and household products have chemicals which the National Academy of Sciences has identified as a “human carcinogen”.
How about hydration? Well, your tap water has been highly treated, and if you drink bottled water, watch out!
It’s now been proven that BPA – an inflammatory chemical used in the plastic bottles – seeps into the water.
Our bodies weren’t built for this modern chemical warfare.
And “Big Food” ain’t slowing down.
They keep pumping out these addictive combos of fats, sugars, and industrial chemicals…
All while calling it “food.”
Even the so-called “health foods” are setting your cells on fire.
But here’s the thing…
Understanding this is just the first step.
In my next post, I’m gonna show you exactly what to do about it.
Because there’s hope.
I’ve seen hundreds of people in our community turn this around.
And you can too.
Stay tuned.
