Nutrimedix offers Serrapetasa, which is apparently effective, and Dr. Zhang offers A1#3, which is very effective based on patient reports. Investigate them if you wish.

My LLMD recommends fish oil for reduction of inflammation.

Glucosamine is good too.

Bromelain can be good too. Between meals so it eats inflammation instead of your food [Smile]

Zyflamend (made by New Chapter) will get rid of inflammation, and the pain associated with it. I'm shocked all Lymies don't take this.

It got me off prescription anti-inflammatories.

Vitacost carries it online.

Vitamin Shoppe has it right in their stores (as well as online)

Removing Heat and Inflammation from the Blood --

Inflammation is one of the body's primary mechanisms for removing metabolic byproducts, debris and foreign agents.

It enables the body to remove damaged cells, neutralize toxins, and fight bacteria, fungi and viruses.

We have already discussed inflammation in the section on the liver, and we will discuss it here from a slightly different angle.

When we discuss the immune system, we'll examine it again from yet another angle.

The main physiological components of inflammation are pain, heat and swelling.

Pain is the nervous system's response to heat and irritation when the body initiates the inflammation process to burn away offending agents.

Swelling and redness appear as fluids leak out of capillaries that have dilated in response to heat.

Inflammation goes through several stages before finally allowing the body to heal. Like a police force that is prompt and efficient, inflammation is usually our friend.
