Inflammation and Pain
Many medical experts today believe that inflammation is an underlying
cause of many illnesses: heart attack, stroke, arthritis, chronic
bacterial, fungal and viral infections (hepatitis), allergies,
asthma, sinusitis, skin rashes, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's,
colitis, gastritis, and medical conditions with the suffix -itis..
Two products developed by Dr. Barry Sears, the founder of the Zone
Diet help control inflammation and pain : Pharmaceutical Grade Fish
Oil and Sea Health Plus TM. You can find out more about these
products at www.healthtrasnformations.net.
In addition, proper blood circulation provided by regular exercise
and stress control can help those who suffer from inflammatory
conditions. Eliminating sugars and spicy foods and eating vegetables
and fruits can prevent painful flare-ups.
Remember that drugs that control pain and inflammation have adverse
side effects. Recent studies show that long term use of these drugs
could lead to severe digestive disturbances, liver damage and certain
cancers.
