Some important info on Inflammation folks  

It's VERY important to drink water 'cause dehydration increases inflammation !!!

These foods should be part of ur diet to reduce inflammation:
Always keeping in mind that they're compatible with our blood type  

Fish oils,  mackerel, swordfish and salmon, fllax seed oil, most nuts and seeds and of course extra virgin olive oil.

Green apples and pineapple.

Garlic and red onions.

Basil, cayenne, cinnamon, ginger, rosemary and turmeric.

Probiotics.

Barley, especially barley tea

and  

EXERCISE !!!  

dandelion and horsetail as well as potassium, among other.

omG.... for that....this little sweety is really to small  but it was in that direction, when I tried to make him go...he sat down like a muli looked at me....and nada mas stubborn maischddas' stubborn doggy ......

I read somewhere that adrenal fatigue can be the reason for chronic inflammation in folks. I for one have chronic ear inflammation and have recently found out that my adrenals are in a sorry state.....there's a possible connection....

As i've seen Lola state in previous threads, the BTD is in of itself anti-inflammatory.

Lola, is drinking dandelion root  as a tea OK?

Just wondering .....

dandelion is  a super duper detoxer, fine for liver and tissue, to loose also waterretention and badies

for you, the O's a wunneful antiinflamm....hey but you arrrre burrrrning naturaly .....is stingingnettle tea .....

Isa, thanks for the stinging nettle tip  

With dandelion is the root just as good as the plant healthwise?  

Cheers  

the root is tougher for detox and against waterretention, just a bloodpurifyer as we said....but the plant is fine also in teaform to go against but much lesser toughy .....and it is super against urticaria because  it cuts down the lectinactivities and is
also related to cut down high bloodsugar


btw...I am just reading the book about immunology (newest from the teutonic orthomoleculars) and I must say, our doc is right with all his teachings wow...great just great.....they are explaining it a bit different, so I wrote a mail that they should add the wiki of the BTD to get better results   and of course much quicker results .D ......so nobody can say that his teachings aren't scientifique
in contrary, but the normal whitecoated, called MD's doesn't want to agree with this...so here lays the key.....as usual, what didn't came out of their feathers, won't be accepted... that means that they have to acknowledge that a simple changement of nutrition is much better and easier and less expensive than their chemical bombes and treatments without any results!!!

yeeeeehhhhaaaaaa guys and gals......that's it......!!!! BTW they explained also about the histaminintolerances and its interacting with tryptophan and other stuffs... ..yessssss thats'why I am that angry and getting even moooorrre angry about psychatrists who tryd to make us believe, especially, US....the royals, that we might be ga-ga....but instead of being ga-ga...this was or is still an intolerance of what so ever related with a higher putrecine or indole reaction
Jeminei...what a f...off science...huh ....a m a z i n g !!!  And this system is protegé by mostly all
governments of the word ...omG....it is even worse that I thought.......now I do understand much better why WE, the all kinds of natural healers have to be banned...it is about getting mighty and wealthy from those who want to ride the world

shells,
Roasted Dandelion Root is one of my favorite teas.  The leaf and root do some of the same things and some different.  I like the root for its liver support properties, and it is also somewhat protective of breast tissue, helping to prevent lumps.

Quoted from Victoria

somewhat protective of breast tissue, helping to prevent lumps.

How often should we drink it for that benefit ??
How often do u drink it,  if I may ask ?

I usually drink it for a few days whilst on my period ...
would I be better off drinking it a couple times per week instead ?
Thanks Victoria and I hope that u're well  

I don't have a routine for dandelion tea.  I really like the taste, so I just drink it when I think of it.  Maybe a few times a week for a while and then I don't think of it for weeks.  If my digestion is ever sluggish, it is a good liver tonic, and gets things moving along very well.

Thanks Victoria, sounds good

You might be interested to read this post by Dr. D  which goes into quite some technical detail about immune response and complement.  I recommend trying to wade through all the links to The Individualist that Dr. provided in his answer.  It shows just how complex and inter-connected our immune response is.

What a great thread KimonoKat !!
Thanks so much for pointing us in that direction !!

I so agree...it is so scary and it will only get worse over time.  It is such a shame that money drives people so much  

Good on you for writing in .. I hope they can add to the Wiki  

I do enjoy my drink of dandelion root tea it is a little like coffee in taste but I do wonder if one can overdo it?     Would my body let me know  that I was having too much or is too much dangerous...lets say 2 cups a day each day?    

shells ...isn't it a fine cause to fight for a good reason called BTD

you see, my dearle, ignorance is a part of stupidity.....but arrogance might lead masses
to death !!!  and here also those whitecoated were leaded into the wrong direction, normal if you get all that money into your ahem...from studying until  to their clinics, allmost all is payed by pharmafirms  

there's a proverbe here:

*the manufactors' bread I eat, his song I'll sing *    (provider's)

                             
                                       




p.s.

it's so easy to make people *believe or unsure* it only depends how hard you are going for the get the ok from the other part ....this is our *birthright* to be that sensitive, no-one of us should feel ashamed nor anything about *our being that sensitive or fragile*!!!  WE are ok in our being.......

I did read a book from a psychotherapist: how to get to know, especially in bigger healthcenters, who is the one who makes running the others......
this is also called group-dynamics .......
the system in the system fights against itself and injures outstanding others

U can drink up to 3 cups per day for up to two weeks; afterwards though, u do need to take a break from it
Cheers  

Shells,
I know when I need a break because I will begin to have a bit too much stomach acid.  This takes a few weeks of daily use though.

btw...must tell you somethin ...he-he-heeee....in the above mentioned book, those clever guys are mentioning, that it seems to be obvious, that glucosamine sulphat and also chondroitin sulphat
show up to be a virtuous immunsystem balancer...means that both are higly beneficials in case of
allergies, food intolerances and of course against inflammation.....so I thought...hmmm....fine that
Deflect is existing since a longer time    

Day after day of deep, long, satisfyingly restful sleeps are the best anti inflammatories for me, if nothing else is working. Playing in the sun all day with lots of laughter and raucous behaviour amongst friends and family, eg a hilarious game of chaotic soccer with lots of rule-breaking on an all day picnic works for me too.
eh

I'd appreciate that, too

What a wonderful thing to think about, eh!  Thanks for the healthy fantasy!
