Doctor finds inflammation a cause of cancer.
Dr. Vijaya Nair, MD FAMS, MS, after years of researching the cause and treatment of cancer concludes that inflammation is a key contributor to major diseases plaguing our citizens. In her new book, Prevent Cancer, Strokes, Heart Attacks and other Deadly Killers! Dr. Nair claims that although inflammation is your immune system’s way of protecting you from physical trauma or foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria, many times it forgets to shut itself off and ends up destroying the very tissues and organs it was meant to protect. “It’s a major contributor to heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and many more life-threatening conditions. Control inflammation and you control disease,” Dr. Nair says.
Through her research, Dr. Nair has found that all types of inflammation can cause cancer. Whether the inflammation is caused by an infection (such as hepatitis), a mechanical irritant (such as kidney stones), or a chemical irritant (such as stomach acid) the result is the same. Chronic, low-grade inflammation greatly increases your risk of developing cancer. Arthritis conditions see an avalanche of inflammatory chemicals being released — and those inflammatory chemicals wear away the joint cartilage. The first step in any program to combat arthritis then isn’t to stop the pain, but to stop the inflammation! With the development of the condition of Alzheimer’s, inflammation plays a role and also makes it progress faster. That’s because the plaques and tangles themselves are mechanical irritants to the brain. The inflammation they create causes the release of brain-killing chemicals. From these examples we can see the root cause of most disease is the body’s inability to control inflammation. Prevent Cancer, Strokes, Heart Attacks and other Deadly Killers reveals some non-drug methods to reduce or eliminate inflammation and thus speed recovery. According to Dr. Nair, this is the first place modern medicine should start looking for treatment and prevention.
