Over and over and over again chronic inflammation comes up in conversation when I talk to other people ~ when it comes to preventing cancer. When I begin to investigate what I learn from other people on the internet and read articles like this one. According to scientist at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology, chronic inflammation having been linked to DNA damage and increased cancer risk.
Chronic Inflammation can be caused by many factors, including infectious agents such as Helicobacter Pylori and Hepatitis C, which are already known to increase cancer risk in the stomach and liver respectively. The inflammatory response produces cytokines, and chemicals in the immune response that encourages cell proliferation and suppress apoptosis, which can also contribute to an increased cancer risk. Use Vinegar ~ NOT Roundup!!!
In most normal situations, damaged induced DNA during the inflammatory response is corrected by the cells internal error repair system. However, if this is not functioning properly, there is a higher chance mutation will occur, increasing risk of cancer. Knowing the connection between these factors and cancer can help doctors better guide patients who might be at risk of inflammation induced cancers.
In a study collaborated with James Fox, Director of Comparative Medicine at M.I.T., and one of his students. Chung – Wei Lee induced mice with infected H. pylori and those lacking the proper DNA repair mechanism. Were more likely to have pre – cancerous regions in the stomach. These results indicate that individuals who are less able to perform DNA damage with chronic inflammation.
Such as patients with ulcerative colitis, are more susceptible to cancer than others, according to Lisiane Meira research scientist at M.I.T. However, there is another effect of inflammation that might influence this — during inflammatory response to infection. Immune cells like macrophages and neutrophils excrete oxygen and nitrogen species that might damage DNA.
Still yet another for instance where a traumatic experience to your body to initiate an inflammatory response would be running a marathon as a repair mechanism. Dr. Arthur Siege MD., Director of Internal medicine at Harvard’s Hospital in Belmont, Massachusettes states, as the miles pass skeletal muscles stiffen and leak, injury signaling enzymes into the blood.
With your body not knowing if you ran a marathon or got ran over by a reindeer. It reacts to injury by mounting an emergency repair response. Your adrenal glands and brain produce the stress hormone cortisol and vasopressin; your damage muscles churn out proteins called cytokines…. which will trigger your liver to start producing C-Reactive Protein. Hitting The Wall It’s Called!!!
The results is what Dr. Siege calls, “an inflammatory storm” where throughout your body that sets the stage for some potentially adverse consequences. Early on, marathoners weren’t sure “if ” the heart was amongst the muscles being stressed. However in recent years they’ve confirmed that it most definitely is.
In 2001, study published in the American Journal of Cardiology, Dr. Siege and his colleagues analyzed the blood of marathoners less than 24 hours after a race and found high levels of inflammatory and coagulation markers that are also associated with heart attacks. Then came a 2006 Circulation Study, using ultra sound and the blood test of 60 marathon finishers.
The researchers found after a race some runners hearts experience difficulty refilling chambers. The researchers also noticed abnormal blood pump from the right side of the heart to the lungs. This study found people who’d average at least 45 miles a week in training were significantly less likely to suffer heart damage than those averaging 35 miles a week or less.
This makes sense to Dr. Siege: your body suffers damage when you exert yourself during training, however, then repairs itself and becomes stronger for it (No Pain ~ No Gain.) During the race and for several hours afterward, the “systemic inflammation” significantly increases your risk of a cardiac event particularly if your middle age and have silent coronary artery disease.
Two Things Happen: 1. inflammatory mediators released during muscle injury may make them thin and the fibrous plaque lining your artery walls may rupture. 2. inflammation can lead to an imbalance of coagulation factors making blood more susceptible to clotting and The Result: A HEART ATTACK!!! and back pain?
The beneficial healing affect of Aloe Vera Juice (plant) makes it one of the most miraculous herbs while it seem mythical in nature. John P. Heggers, PH.D. of the University of Texas School of Medicine states, Aloe Vera boost immune function and destroys cancer tumors because of it’s strong immuno – modulatory, anti – inflammatory, anti- bacterial and anti – viral actions.
