Inflammation Kills

My chest continues to hurt and be painful at times.  Not enough to really say I need to go back to the NP, but enough that I'm unsure whether I should call.  It concerns me.  Last night I struggled to sleep.  I couldn't and watched TV from 1am until 3am.  Then tried again to sleep in my lazy-boy chair, slept for a bit.  Got up around 630am and into bed.  Slept until 8am.

As I struggled to figure out what was going on, I kinda thought it is probably inflammation in my chest.  Then I thought about inflammation.  I read once that inflammation in the body can actually kill you.  

From honey colony:

Inflammation … is a normal and necessary part of the body’s repair team,” says Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, HoneyColony Adviser and bestselling author of From Fatigued to Fantastic, Pain Free 1-2-3, and Real Cause, Real Cure.
However, if inflammation lingers unabated, that healing hyperactivity can actually damage your tissues as it persists as chronic, low-level inflammation. A temporary state of emergency becomes a perpetual (and highly destructive) state of war.
“Chronic inflammation that continues over time is abnormal and is actually a disease condition,” Teitelbaum says. “It’s like your immune army never heard the order to stand down, troops are running all over the place, attacking everything in sight.”
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a board-certified physician in pain management and anesthesiology with a private practice in New York, agrees.
“Inflammation occurs when our immune system essentially gets ‘out of control,’” he says. “It can be dangerous if not addressed or treated properly.”
Once triggered, this type of stress-induced inflammation can persist undetected for years or even decades, while the invisible inflammation causes cell death throughout the body. In fact, many medical experts believe that inflammation is at the root of 80 to 90 percent of all serious illnesses, including cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and painful “-itis” conditions like arthritis, diverticulitis, or cystitis (your bladder).
“Most diseases of the 21st century can be associated with inflammation,” Teitelbaum maintains.
This includes the “disease” of premature aging, as well. In fact, since inflammation contributes so greatly to deterioration associated with aging, chronic inflammation has been nicknamed “inflammaging.

Mostly the inflammation is about foods that the body is intolerant to.  The body just can't handle it.  And chronic pain/fatigue doesn't help.

AJ is really into binaural beats.  He likes them.  In youtube there's Good Vibes.  I went into it and found one on inflammation.


As I looked at the site, found others on weight, sleep, chakras etc.  I even found one to get blue eyes (or green, or brown).  Seriously!






Back to the Inflammation..... I was thinking I'd try listening to that binaural beat one at night for a bit.  Might help heal?
