Inflammatory Response

  As We enter into a New Year.  I think I’m resolute to keep taking  this website  into a better direction.  While making each blog post more informative while also making this website…. easier  to  navigate with information more easily accessible.  I’m  please  with how  the last dozen blog post  are  mapped  in  this website.  When  you  check  them  out there is quite a bit of information in them. That’s linked into other blog posts that brings you an abundance of information to respond to if you give the blog a chance and want   to start your own research using this website as a search engine  for  facts on cancer.

 Cholesterol has been long been seen as the main culprit to cardiovascular disease.  However,  nearly  half  of  all  heart attacks  occur  in  people  with normal levels of cholesterol which suggests that another factor is at work. Researchers have identified cholesterol partner in crime as inflammation and cholesterol wouldn’t be nearly as dangerous without the process.

  When  high levels  of  cholesterol  occur  in  the  blood  stream,  excessive       LDL  begins  to  seep  into  the  inner wall  of  the artery.  This  triggers  an inflammatory  response  which  actually  speeds  up  the  accumulation  of  cholesterol into the artery wall. This in turn produces more inflammation and on – and – on.    Eventually  this  deposited  cholesterol  hardens  into   plaque, that can rupture leading to blood clots which causes heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events. That if could be prevented would prevent health care cost…. Health.com: 7 causes of high cholesterol !!!!

  Some experts…  NOW ….believe that inflammation is the link between the many disease and conditions that affect the heart and brain. Inflammation is  the  common denominator  in  nearly  all  of  the  diseases  we  deal  with.   While Dr. James O’Keefe MD.,  The  Director  of   Preventive  Cardiology  at  the Mid  American  Heart  Institute  in  Kansas  City, Missouri  states,  that “Heart disease,  diabetes,  dementia —  whom thinks that they’re all tied to inappropiate, low grade, chronic inflammation.”

  The growing understanding of inflammation’s role doesn’t diminish the importance of chlosterol — you still have to keep that  “bad”  number down and the  “good”  number up  but does present another possibility  that  does anticipate cardiovascular disease.  Studies show that a substance known as  C – reactive protein  (CRP),  one of  the so – called markers  released by cells during the inflammatory  process. Quite possibly maybe more effective than cholesterol in guaging the risk of heart attacks and other cardio – events. 

   Studies also find….  Association  between C – Reactive Protein and cancer rates, mortality. This analysis was researched by a Copenhagen City Heart Study, which was a large prespective study launched in 1976 to explore risk factors  for heart  disease. While all participants  had  a baseline  CRP  level measured  using  high  sensitivity  CRP  blood  test.  This  analysis  included 10,408  participants  whom  entered  the  study  between  1991  and  1994  0r between 2001 and 2003.

   After  16 years  of  total  follow  –  up,  1624  paticipants  developed  cancer. People with a high baseline  CRP  more than 3mg/L  had a 30 percent greater risk of developing any cancer compared with those whose CRP was less than 1mg/L.  High  CRP levels  were associated  with  prostate  and  quite possibly colorectal cancer risk,  however,  did not raise breast cancer risk.

   Among people diagnosed with cancer during the study period,  those who had a baseline CRP  0f  more than  3mg/L  were 80 percent more likely to die sooner than those CRP levels under 1mg/L. Specifically researchers reported that  five years after cancer diagnosis,  40 percent  of  patients  with elevated CRP  levels  were  alive;  compared  with  70  percent  of  those  patients  with  low CRP levels. 

  Whether it’s inflammation  keeping  you up at night  or  for the  70 million Americans each year having chronic pain  and  sinusitis. Costing our health care system 120 billion dollars per year. While having also 1 in 5 Americans using  prescription  drugs.  With  another  7  n  10  using  over – the – counter   Nonsteroidal anti – inflammatory Nsaid’s  (aspirin, iburofen  and naproxen  products  for suppressing their  pain.) With also various lasting trips to the  chiropractor for alignments preventing major lower back problems.

   These health issues  from  joint pain to swollen knees  and  mild stroke to high blood pressure  through  abdominal pain  can  justifiably  be  resolved. With proper nutrition to keep your hormones, vitamin and mineral levels in balance.  Especially what one really has to have cognizance  of  a vitamin D  level  in  the  proper range  of  30 to 74 ng/ml.  Be careful that range doesn’t get into the 80 ng/ml levels therefore being fat soluble it could be toxic.

   Some nutritionist will tell you  it’s safe  to  consume  10,000 iu’s  for short time durations. However for only short time durations with a supervision of a medical professional.  The  most  confusing part  of  this  logic  when I  first started researching this information seven years ago.  When you step out in the sun exposure for 20 to 30 minutes you take in by all accounts 20,000 iu’s in a more natural absorption process than synthetic supplements.
