today I’m going to discuss 12 triggers or causes of your inflammation been in practice for 30 years so I had the opportunity to see a very wide range of different cases and different causes and some things that you’re not going to find if you actually Google them let’s start off with number one if you have any inflammation on the right side of your body okay I don’t care if it’s fibromyalgia or shoulder pain or a headache on the right side or anything down in the lower part of your body as well suspect something related to the gallbladder and it could be just the bile ducts themselves being congested with what’s called bile sludge which a lot of people don’t even know about that they they think automatically you have to have a gall stone but not necessarily there could be some sludge which is really the stage before a gallstone develops you start having this super concentrated amount of cholesterol um because there’s not enough bile salts and so it’s becomes thickened and it starts to plug up those little ducks and oh my goodness does that create a lot of tension and pressure underneath your right rib cage that can then trigger a nerve that goes up to your neck and cause referred pain anywhere up here on the Trap and your back part that comes down your arm think something related to the gallbladder or the bile ducts there’s a couple quick ways to know if you have that just start massaging underneath your right rib cage about an inch down about an inch off the midline to the right start pressing in the area it’s usually going to be congested you hold the pressure for maybe a minute or two and see if that pain doesn’t just go away another good remedy for that would be something called tdka which is a type of bile salt that you would take on an empty stomach I would take two in the morning two in the afternoon and if it’s really bad you might even need some uh other types of bile salt uh right after the meal that will thin the bile okay allow things to pass through easily and you should feel relief on your right side and ultimately you need to change your diet which I’m going to get to at the end of this video so believe it or not that is a really common reason why people have pain on the right side and sometimes on the left side too because it can also block the ducks that go into the pancreas and refer pain to the left shoulder as well number two a vitamin D deficiency when you’re deficient in d uh most likely you’re going to have low back pain but it could be any type of pain anywhere in the body and a simple remedy is to increase amount of vitamin D3 up to 50,000 IUS every day so many people are deficient in vitamin D and they don’t know it’s that they think they’re getting enough Sun you have to get a lot of sun and expose a lot of your body to the Sun to be able to get your vitamin D and people don’t do that and they also don’t realize that it’s very difficult to get enough vitamin D from the diet all right the next reason is because they’ve been through some stress shock situation I’m talking about a severe loss of something it can also be a chronic stress as well mental stress but the point is that stress activates cortisol and it can shock the immune system um if it’s a sudden thing or if it’s a chronic thing to the point where your immune system is not working anymore and so stress and the hormone cortisol that actually is uh related to stress not only are you losing the defense of your IM system but you’re also losing the anti-inflammatory effect cortisol normally gets rid of inflammation so if you had a lot of stress maybe you might think wow I’m getting more cortisol so I’m getting more anti-inflammatories but that’s not what happens you start developing cortisol resistance and now cortisol doesn’t work it’s very similar to insulin resistance where you have too much insulin but you have insulin resistance so it doesn’t work so a lot of the bad effects of insulin resistance is a deficiency of insulin a lot of the bad effects from uh cortisol resistance is a cortisol deficiency and this is why so many people with pain take prazone or some cortisone shot or some type of skin cream that involves cortisone so one good remedy for that is to help yourself in any way you can with the stress and start walking and doing exercise as well as taking higher amounts of Vitamin D it just so happens that vitamin D3 Works similar to cortisol in the body but without the side effects of the cortisol and there’s one little aspect about this that I want to mention too uh people could have had a virus in the past like Epstein bar virus for example or herpes virus that goes into a latent stage where resides in a dormant area and then stress can bring out that virus into remission and create inflammation and usually along with that you’ll have chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia so that is all caused initially from some type of stress event in which case you need to deal with the stress and also take the vitamin D3 all right the next is certain ingredients in restaurant foods and you might not suspect this because maybe you go out to dinner quite frequently but you don’t know what you’re getting when you’re going to a restaurant uh many of the restaurants especially the fast food restaurants are serving uh deep fried things in oil that have been reused over and over and over for weeks if not months so you’re getting something that is fried in some corn oil or soy oil or other oils that is probably going to uh be left on the food in some way and it’s going to irritate your body especially your digestive system there’s other foods like MSG uh like maltodextrin preservatives chemicals lowquality foods that um could be affecting you digestion wise so so if you have any type of inflammation it might be a good idea for you to make your own food so you know what’s in it and you can control it better but uh a lot of those um oils could be also trans fats or hydrogenated oils or omega-6 oils which are the soy corn canola cotton seed oil all of that can be inflammatory the next thing is the three big things that I think are in a most people’s diet in fact if you don’t believe me just go through a a grocery store and start counting up how many of these ingredients are in so many foods okay um and we’re talking about sugar we’re talking about grains and we’re talking about the gluten in the Grain and then we’re also talking about seed oils which I’ve already mentioned in restaurant Foods they’re in grocery store Foods in fact if you just go look at the inside of that grocery store there’s roughly about uh 83% of all those calories okay in the entire grocery store as defined as all ultr processed foods and some are more of the starches the potatoes the crackers the corn uh chips and things like that but deep fried with those seed oils but on the flip side you also have these so-called healthy keto snacks that can irritate and cause inflammation too uh a lot of them have um sugar alcohols that can create bloating and irritation to your gut a lot of them have these new functional fibers cyal corn fibers cyal cioca fibers these are synthetic fibers so that can irritate your gut they haven’t been around for a long time and I know they bloat a lot of people so just because something has this word keto on it doesn’t make it a super healthy thing and it could be the reason why you have inflammation all right and something else that can actually cause inflammation is visceral fat so the more you do uh what I’m going to recommend uh coming up very shortly uh the less your fat you’re going to have on your liver in fact there’s a way that you can get rid of 50% of the fat just with this certain thing I’m going to tell you so stay tuned for for that high iron is another cause of inflammation if you have a genetic problem where you tend to hold iron you
