Inflammation Triggers the Symptoms of Disease
The presence of inflammation is what makes most disease perceptible to
an individual. It can and often does occur for years before it exists at
levels sufficient to be apparent or clinically significant. How long it
has been smoldering really determines the degree of severity of a
disease and often the prognosis assuming the inflammation can be
controlled. One could also argue that without inflammation most disease
would not even exist. Take a look at this list of diseases and their
relationship with inflammation.
Why Inflammation Must Be Addressed at its Root...
The fact that your immune system drives the inflammatory process in
disease is well established. Unfortunately Western medicine offers
little in the way of actual answers as to managing or overcoming the
Autoimmune process. The typical approach to therapy is generally to
suppress the immune response with Immune suppressive agents or sometimes
steroids. Both approaches are designed to reduce inflammation but
neither stops the underlying disease processes or allows for damaged
tissues to regenerate.
Unless you turn off the actual cause of fire (inflammation), all you
have done is postponed the inevitable and potentially destroyed more of
the building (your body) in the process, by allowing the fire to smolder
in a subclinical fashion.
Every day on TV you can see professional athletes and others acting
as spokespeople for Methotrexate, Orencia, Enbrel, Humira, Remicade, and
other drugs which largely are designed to mask inflammation or suppress
the immune response. None of these drugs actually have the capacity to
correct the underlying condition and yet the imagery the ads leave the
viewer with is that you will have your life back.
The Link Between Gut Dysfunction and Inflammatory Diseases
The term inflammation rarely elicits a truly accurate image in the
mind of someone unless they are experiencing it. Then it begins to make
sense because of the pain and dysfunction associated with inflammation.
The ability to be inflamed is absolutely necessary for normal repair
processes to occur. It is when the regulation of inflammation is not
tempered or controlled that we begin to have a problem with
inflammation.
It has been shown that many of the inflammatory diseases we suffer
from are gut mediated but not presenting as gut issues. Dr. Maios
Hadjivassiliou of the United Kingdom, a world authority on gluten
sensitivity, has reported in The Lancet, that "gluten
sensitivity can be primarily and at times, exclusively a neurological
disease." This means that people show gluten sensitivity by having
problems with brain function despite having no gastrointestinal problems
whatsoever. Dr. Hadjivassiliou indicates that the antibodies that a
person has when they are gluten sensitive can be directly and uniquely
toxic to the brain. For this there are specialty tests that have been
developed.
Another author, published in a recent issue of Pediatrics,
stated, "This study suggests that the variability of neurologic
disorders that occur in celiac disease is broader than previously
reported and includes softer and more common neurologic disorders
including chronic headache, developmental delay, hypotonia and learning
disorders or ADHD." Clearly we have to broaden our evaluation criteria
and perhaps definition of disease when a patient presents with
complaints that do not fit into a typical clinical box.
