There are 4 biochemical pathways that act as “master switches” to turn pain and inflammation up or down: 1. Pain and inflammatory factory 2. Master inflammation on-switch 3. Inflammation megaphone 4. Backup inflammatory alarm system Many inflammatory treatments do not address all four pathways. Ibuprofen is great at turning the pain and inflammation switch off, and does so very quickly. Unfortunately, this pathway protects the stomach and kidneys, so ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers and kidney issues. It also doesn’t address the other inflammatory pathways, which is why people often have to take it repeatedly. Tylenol works in the brain, affecting the central nervous system, but does not relieve any inflammation. Similar to ibuprofen, aspirin works on the first inflammatory pathway, which can also affect your stomach. Turmeric affects 3 out of the 4 inflammatory pathways! A double-blind randomized controlled study found that taking 1500 mg of turmeric with black pepper produced results comparable to ibuprofen without the side effects. Extra-virgin olive oil mimics ibuprofen's effects at the molecular level. Try adding it to your salad regularly! Ginger and omega-3 fatty acids also work to reduce inflammation. Boswellia targets the 5-LOX pathway, also known as the backup inflammatory alarm system. There are 5 primary causes that flip the inflammatory switches on, leading to pain and inflammation in the body. By addressing the root cause, you can correct the pain rather than simply managing it. The following 5 factors turn on all of the inflammatory switches: 1. Insulin resistance 2. Mitochondrial damage 3. Chronic oxidative stress 4. Leaky gut 5. Chronic infections To prevent inflammation and address the root cause, try the following: • Low-carb diet • Eliminate ultra-processed foods • Intermittent fasting/prolonged fasting • Magnesium, vitamin D3, zinc, omega-3s Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Biologist here. I did some research on turmeric for my mom’s aggressive lymphoma and in stage 3 and the ones (turmeric supplements) with the best bioavailability (ability to absorb) without the need of pairing it with pepper (can cause diarrhea) are the ones in nano form. My mom had zero side effects during treatment and is now cancer free thank God. She is wheelchair bound and this form of turmeric was a blessing (constant diarrhea would have been terrible). There are plenty of studies showing the healing effects of turmeric in lymphoma patients. I hope this can help someone.

I don't want pain relief and inflammation to stop. I want the root cause to be fixed.

Finally someone who dares speak up about fixing root causes instead of hiding symptoms through medicine like big pharma wants you to.

Big Pharma products never deal with root causes of illness. They just tinker, like letting a three year old service your car.

Mom's home remedy for tummy ache: Warm olive oil massaged all over tummy and bellybutton. I'll never forget my sweet baby grandaughter's face as my mom gently massaged the oil on her tummy. Her little body relaxed, her chubby arms and legs stopped flailing, she stopped crying and her eyes fluttered closed into a restful sleep. At the moment it seemed like just another day. Now that memory is so precious to me. My mom passed several years ago and my sweet granddaughter is now 17 and looking at colleges. 😢❤
