To win the battle against CHRONIC LOW-LEVEL Inflammation (CLLI), you will need to :
(1) Address dietary /lifestyle practices causing tissue-damaging oxidative stress
(2) Enhance elimination of toxins and microbes from the body
(3) Address dietary/lifestyle practices modulating the inflammatory response
(1) Address Dietary /lifestyle practices causing tissue-damaging oxidative stress i.e. REMOVE / MODERATE source of OXIDATIVE damage |
|
---|---|
Processed food | Additives, preservatives, dyes, excess heavy metals, MSG |
Excess red meat / dairy (increases homocysteine levels) | Homocysteine levels can be modulated - by consuming sufficient B-vitamins (B2, B6, B12, folate) and magnesium |
Microwaved food (Oxidants) | Microwaves - Not so convenient for your health |
Artificial sweeteners |
Aspartame, sucralose - in diet sodas and usually in sugar-free products Sickly Sweet |
Non-organic food | Herbicides, pesticides, Genetically Modified Food (GMOs) |
Chlorinated water (==> Disinfection by-products) Fluoridated water |
Drinking, cooking, bathing water Chlorine Fluoride |
Cured meat (contains nitrates/nitrites) |
Eat ham, bacon, sausages, salami, Pepperoni in moderation or
not at all. Meat |
***HIGH PRIORITY*** Moderate sugar/carbohydrate consumption/Keep fructose intake < 25g /day - Causes glycation damage/Advanced Glycation End products(AGEs) |
Avoid Excess fructose intake - in sugar, honey, maple syrup,
fruit juice or excessive fruit consumption, agave nectar, or high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) (in sodas
- some are
>20g/12 oz can), cakes, pies, cookies, desserts/ice cream, candies and most other processed foods) Moderate consumption of glucose - in sugars and simple starches (such as mashed potatoes, rice, bread and pasta); |
Antinutrients | Avoid / Moderate consumption of Antinutrients (E.g. lectins, phytic acid) - particularly prevalent in wheat products (bread, pasta) and improperly prepared beans; |
***HIGH PRIORITY*** ALL DAMAGED FATS: High-heat-processed fats & oils /hydrogenated fats /partially hydrogenated fats (trans fats), |
AVOID Toxic Fats
in: Typical grocery store oils (E.g. canola, soybean, corn, safflower, and peanut oils - Also, most restaurants use these oils), Shortenings. E.g. Crisco, Deep-fried food, Margarine |
Moderate fatty, grain-fed meat and fish | Fatty, grain-fed beef /pork /chicken /turkey/ fish - add to inflammatory omega-6 fat intake; |
Household chemicals | Cleaning supplies - laundry soaps/softeners, insecticides, herbicides, etc |
Chemical-laden personal products | Choose chemical-free products: Soap, shaving cream, hand lotion, toothpaste, deodorant, cosmetics, facial creams, hair spray, cologne, perfume, shampoo, hair conditioner, suntan lotion |
Air contamination | Air fresheners; Car exhaust fumes; Industrial, petrochemical paints/solvents; Tobacco smoke; Mercury vapors, etc. |
Unnatural EMFs | Unnatural frequency radiation - from electrical equipment, Wi-fi, cell-phones, fluorescent lights, power grid |
Recreational Drugs | Nicotine; Cocaine; Excess alcohol |
Excess use of pharmaceuticals | Medications - Aspirin, anti-histamines, anti-depressants, pain meds, countless other drugs |
Emotional Stress (Oxidants) | Thoughts (Emotions) |
Microbial infection |
Remove microbes or control their presence in body - includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites: Probiotics - "For Life" Rife Resonance Protocol Beck Protocol Ozone Therapy Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) Iodine - "Universal medicine" Wild Oregano Oil (WOO) Tea Tree Oil Ionic Colloidal Siiver (ICS) Parasites -“Uninvited Guests” Candidiasis Many other therapies |
Contaminant heavy metals |
Avoid excess heavy metals E.g. Mercury (in fish from industrial waters, dental amalgams); aluminum (cooking pans, some food products, antiperspirants;Remove excess heavy metals - using chelation therapies:
Chlorella Magnesium -Missing Miracle Mineral Other chelation therapies |
Miscellaneous concerns |
Non-hygienic practices / wash hands appropriately. Cook meat thoroughly Practice safe sex Enhance body's elimination systems |
Chronic low-level inflammation (CLII) involved in almost all health problems
"The medical kit of the future"
General electrotherapy health benefits. Used systemically and/or locally at specific problem areas of the body, its effective application has many benefits:
Detoxification | Wellness / Healthy aging | Pain relief |
Relief from insomnia | Immune system restoral | Anti-Inflammatory |
Maximizes cellular energy production | Accelerated tissue /bone /scar healing |
Stress Reduction |
Muscle relaxation / rehabilitation | Increased blood oxygen / circulation |

There are several reasonably affordable electrotherapy devices available for personal use. The following electrotherapies are those that have received a significant amount of positive feedback:
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy |
Beck Protocol |
Rife therapy |
Ozone therapy |
Near Infrared (NIR) class 4 laser therapy |
Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) applies specific frequency patterns to the head area, with the following benefits:
Balances neurotransmitters | Relieves pain | Treats depression |
Substance abuse withdrawal | Relieves insomnia | Relieve stress / anxiety |
Anti-Inflammatory | Fibromyalgia | +++ |
