What is an Anti-Inflammatory Diet? (Biohacking Series 21 of 25)

Combatting inflammation cannot just be done with a pill or even consistent use of supplements that may work quite well, or so it would seem.  I actually can attest to the fact that getting back to consistently staying off gluten and dairy really helped with my body’s ability to cleanse and for my sinuses to completely clear.  
 
As much as I wish it were not true, you cannot out supplement a bad diet.  Believe me, I tried for years.  The best you can hope for with that is possibly a break-even but even that is doubtful.  
 
Getting the body the foods that it needs to fight through today’s world of pollution, from laundry detergent fumes to inhaled particles of formaldehyde coming from your floor cleaner, is invaluable in the fight against inflammation.  
 
Why does that matter to you?  If you have Cystic Fibrosis, or even if you don’t, inflammation is the basic foundational problem that is created in this disease process and in today’s world that is full of more toxic chemicals than ever.  If you look around your home and start to count the number of chemicals that you come into contact with either from personal care products to cleaning products or to furniture and carpet off gassing you might begin to see why.  
 
Today’s world is also fraught with more spraying of crops, spraying for mosquitoes, and chem trails being put out through the sky for who knows what purpose.  The onslaught of chemicals in the last 30 years has increased dramatically.  One by one, adding to our list of chronic conditions that seemingly have no explanation.  But they do.  
 
So back to you.  Whether you know it now or will know it later, your body is slowly being degraded by oxidation.  Inflammation feeds oxidation.  Think of it this way, you know how a copper pipe left outside in the wet grass will eventually turn green?  The pipes in your body are similar.  The body is a dark moist place and if not cared for properly can succumb to overgrowth of bacteria, yeast and fungi.  
 
When you suddenly have a joint that starts to hurt, what if it could be explained by bad blood products settling in the area.  You have pain, so you move it less.  You decide to see a doctor and they call it gout or arthritis.  What if the body had a better coping mechanism but it was being bombarded with pollutants, do you think it could do a better job of preventing what people now call aging?  
 
Indeed.  I do not intend to accept that I am getting old and this is just the way it goes.  I have too much to do for the Lord, helping people and speaking out about all the toxic pollutants in our world that are causing our population to have brain fog, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and arthritis to name a few.  
 
So back to the point of this blog post.  Quality supplementation combined with a good diet, and being mindful of what products you use in your everyday life CAN and WILL make a difference with the amount of inflammation in your body. 
 
An anti-inflammatory diet consists of avoiding foods high in lignans, sugar, gluten and dairy.  Avoidance of soy and peanut products is also recommended.  So what is left to eat you ask?  A lot!  It does take a different mindset and dinner solutions are not quickly obtained through the drive thru, I will admit. 
 
Part of the key to eating fresh foods is because of their enzyme content.  Enzymes drive processes in the body and without them we are left with sludge in our cells.  I know, sludge is not exactly a good medical term, but it paints a picture no?  If all the fluids in the body are not moving through properly at a normal speed, then we are set up for aging, or oxidation to take place.  Oxidation is part of the inflammatory pathway.  
 
More specifics to a gluten free diet can be found in the articles posted below.  It’s more important than ever to clean up our diets for the sake of clearing out disease processes and getting our immune systems ready to do battle most effectively.  
 
Thank you for reading my post and let me know if you would like help with getting rid of the toxic products in your home, I have plenty of good ideas and would be honored to help you. 
 
Much love, peace and healing,
 
Paula Baron P.T.

Welcome to my blog...

Welcome to my blog...
Hello, and thank you for coming to my blog.  

This blog is intended to give you articles that will help you work your way up to better health, whether it is through learning about the dangers of too much radiation caused by all the convenient electrical devices in use today or taking a supplement in higher doses than you previously did, as you begin to understand more about functional medicine and also depletion of certain vitamins and minerals in the body and in our soil.  

Food is not the same today as it was 100 years ago and so we should not be expecting the same results from eating, a head of lettuce, for example.  

So hang on to your skeptability and open up your mind to a world where excellent health is possible.  Prayer will also be spoken of and so will God’s word.  I am a mixture of all these things which I will refer to as being a “bio-hacker” or practicing the art of BIO HACKING.  What this means in simple terms is short cuts to help the body function better, as it was designed by God, to heal itself.  

How much sense does that make?  Well, you don’t have to answer that yet, I will attempt to do that as I summarize great scientific articles, hopefully reducing the intimidation of where to start with your health or your child’s health, one “bio-hacking” step at a time.  

The first articles will deal with supplementation.  Getting the gut healthy is of utmost importance if the rest of the systems in the body are going to work right as well. If you don’t get this cleaned out it will be like trying to change the oil in your car without first emptying out the old oil.  Pointless.  

The other key to remember is that this process should not be done quickly.  If you attempt to get rid of toxic waste held in your colon that has been there for 30 years then you will feel like you have had a rat die inside you and you are working to extract him through a narrow passage way.  Sorry, was that too graphic?  

What I am trying to say is start slowly.  See how your body copes with having layers of waste removed from it’s insides and then slowly replacing the lost materials with high quality nutrient dense foods and high quality supplements at a higher dose than normal, to get you through as painlessly as possible.

The Basics about Colloidal Silver

Colloidal silver is touted as a significant advancement in the realm of natural supplements, recognized for having particles of silver that can traverse the body when ingested. Highlighting the breadth of its potential applications, it is celebrated for its antibacterial properties, capable of eliminating approximately 650 different disease-causing organisms without fostering resistant strains, making it an exceptional alternative to traditional antibiotics. Its virtually non-toxic nature further elevates its appeal as a health supplement.

The utility of colloidal silver extends beyond human health, finding its place in pet care and horticulture as well. It's been observed to be effective in treating burns and infections in pets, with some pet owners incorporating it into their pet's diet or water as a preventative health measure. Additionally, its antifungal and antiviral properties are leveraged in gardening to protect plants from diseases, showcasing its versatility as a holistic health solution.

While colloidal silver appears to be a multifaceted supplement capable of supporting various health conditions in both humans and plants, the blog emphasizes exercising caution and common sense in its usage. It advises against long-term excessive use and underscores the importance of consulting licensed health professionals for serious health issues. Colloidal silver presents itself as a powerful natural remedy, yet it demands responsible application to avoid potential harm, embodying the principle that moderation is key in the consumption of any health supplement.

Raindrop Technique

Raindrop Technique
The Raindrop Technique uses a layering process of 9 different Young Living therapeutic/medicinal grade essential oils applied to the feet and spine. The combination of these oils, and the application of moist warm towels to the spine and back, allows the oils to penetrate your body quickly and start their therapeutic process on a cellular level.




Essential oils used during the Raindrop Technique:
  • Valor (blend): cleanses the energy field, aligns and balances
  • Oregano: attacks viruses and bacteria
  • Thyme: attacks viruses and bacteria
  • Basil: anti-spasmodic, headache relief
  • Cypress: increases circulation
  • Wintergreen: anti-inflammatory/anti-spasmodic, analgesic (pain reliever)
  • Marjoram: relaxes musculature, lowers blood pressure
  • Peppermint: anti-spasmodic, assists in "pushing" in all other oils
  • Aroma Siez (blend): relaxing & soothing
Raindrop Technique has been known to increase the immune system, relieve back issues, and to create balance and harmony in the body - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Raindrop Technique focuses the healing essence of the essential oils directly to the spinal column where it is believed that viruses and bacteria lie dormant until the immune system weakens. The oils create an environment that is not hospitable to these “foreign” agents in our bodies and causes them to be eliminated naturally.
Raindrop Technique is also an effective detoxification and can assist you in eliminating symptoms associated with cold and flu and other common conditions.
Raindrop Technique is a very gentle therapy and offers you the opportunity to completely relax while improving your overall well being on all levels.

Some people ask, "How long does the Raindrop Technique application last?". This depends as everybody responds differently. In general, the healthier you are along with the proper diet, exercise and a good mental attitude will help. One Raindrop Technique may last months for one person, but then for another it may be necessary to have the application done every week until the body begins to respond.
