You Need A Test To Know This

The big buzz in the media medical coverage is writing about "inflammation":

Inflammation is basically your body immune system attacking a substance it thinks needs to be out of there and defenses rush there making it "inflamed".

We have long written about this as a connection to the degenerative diseases such as heart attacks, strokes etc that kill 85% of diabetics. That this inflammation, SI as they call it here is going on silently in many diabetics (much more so then average person same age) with no clue.

It has now been officially recognized as SI or Silent Inflammation that may be going on in your body and no one knows about it... it now officially is admitted to exist.

Two causes of interest to diabetics are high SI from high insulin levels and food intolerances.

Food intolerances increase as you age because you stop making many enzymes that used to handle that particular food is no longer being made by your body.

Hence you can no longer tolerate that food in any quantity. It becomes a substance your body needs to find a way to get rid of.....every time it shows up.

Therefore were there was no food intolerance existing, does not mean it has not developed.

We now know that inflammation plays a central role in the chronic illness that remains our number-one killer: coronary artery disease.

They have discovered that elevated markers of silent inflammation, such as the CRP test, have been far more predictive of heart disease than elevated cholesterol levels (It has been known for some time that over 50 percent of those hospitalized for heart disease have perfectly normal cholesterol levels).

We have said from the start from our research on studies etc the cholesterol hype was pure smoke and mirrors to sell prescriptions.

A big study recently showed High levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), (high inflammation) were over four times more likely to have heart attacks than those with low.

On this predictor alone you need this test if you have diabetes. This is what diabetics are dying off...very few from diabetes.

High C-reactive proteins, linked along with other markers of inflammation, indicate Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, Parkinson's disease, and even cancer.

The medical world is now accepting Chronic SI as a warning that something is drastically out of balance in a person's overall health. We think you need to find out.

Since high insulin has been shown to cause high inflammation, it makes sense that a diabetic knows what his Insulin level is as well as his C-Reactive Protein test. See my article on why I am ticked my doctor has never been interested in my insulin level and wont even order the test unless I insist. High insulin level is what does GREAT body damage.

First test 18, way high, normal 12, recent test 5.

He is not interested in what's going on there either way and test was taken both times only on my insistence.

Also shown to cause high SI is some prescription drugs. In other words you may be taking some drugs that are potentially unknowingly doing you more harm then good. These are chemicals your body thinks need to be rid of...and mounting an inflammation body defense silently to get them gone.

Also the silent inflammation can be brought on by common things such as by stress and obesity You are not aware when you have SI.

I think You need to know.
