Stopping Inflammation

Relieving the Cause of Degenerative Diseases

WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU ABOUT INFLAMMATION AND ITS DANGERS

by Nancy Appleton, Ph.D.

The Female Brain

Dig down below the surface of your pain and you're likely to uncover a supposedly benign thing called inflammation.

Any disease ending in "itis" refers to an inflammatory condition; arthritis, appendicitis, bronchitis, conjunctivitis. etc.

Healthy immune systems use inflammation to right an unbalanced body; when the job is done, inflammation and other symptoms go away. This "Acute Inflammation" is the immediate defense reaction of the body tissue to injuries or foreign invaders. But there's a type of low-grade inflammation that lingers for years, sometimes for a lifetime. In the last decade, researchers have begun to suspect that degenerative diseases are caused, or complicated by, an over active immune system response called chronic inflammation.

Your doctor knows all about the dangers of chronic inflammation. That's why the medical community is constantly experimenting with different drugs in in an effort to "quell the swelling". But medical therapy is often directed at controlling symptoms rather than removing their cause.

Stopping Inflammation is the result of Dr. Appleton's 10 year quest to find a non-drug treatment aimed at eliminating this disease-causing inflammation. Dr. Appleton's journey starts at the roots of the inflammation tree and branches out to expose every modern disease and disorder that grows from the root of chronic inflammation.

Even the brain can be affected by inflammation. Stop the cause and you will stop the inflammation - no drugs required!
