Reducing Inflammation Can Save Your Life

We have known for a long time that chronic stress and depression can suppress immunity. But it's a shock to learn that they also activate a special type of immunity that leads to chronic brain inflammation.

The opposite is also true: Chronic immunity activation and resulting inflammation can trigger major depression. Evidence is mounting that activating the immune system causes the type of depression that appears without warning.

Research bears out the following facts:

• Depression is a major indicator of future risk of heart attacks and especially strokes.
• Heart attack victims who are depressed are three times more likely to die within a short period of the attack.
• Heart attack victims have substantially higher levels of inflammation as calculated by measuring levels of C-reactive protein and immune cytokines.
• Inflammation measures are better guides for predicting both heart attack and stroke risk than cholesterol levels - even LDL-cholesterol.

One of the major causes of inflammation is a poor diet. We know that a number of foods can dramatically increase inflammation.

The worst diet is one high in N-6 fats, because it suppresses natural, cell mediated immunity while dramatically increasing inflammation. Americans eat 50 times the amount of these harmful fats as needed for health, mainly at the recommendation of the same government and medical geniuses who force vaccination programs on us.

Inflammation "boosters"

• Omega-6  (N-6 oils) or omega-6 fats, including corn, safflower, sunflower, canola, peanut and soybean oils
• high meat diets, which are high in iron and glutamate
• soybean products
• trans-fats

Inflammation "busters"

• omega-3 oils (N-3 oils), found in fish and flaxseed
• some white meats like chicken and turkey
• a high intake of vegetables and some fruits

The following supplements help reduce inflammation:

• curcumin yellow Indian curry powder)
• quercetin
• hesperidin
• ferulic acid
• silymarin
• magnesium
• omega-3 (low EPA and high DHA)
• vitamin C.
• N-acetyl--L cysteine (NAC)
• natural vitamin E (with high gammatocopherol)
