During my recent Google search for additional information on inflammation, I cam across an article that was first published in the February 24th, 2004 issue of TIME magazine. On of the most ridiculous quotes from this article, at least in my opinion, is "They have discovered that inflammation is critical to many diseases, which they did not know before." [1] What? They just discovered that theory in 2004?
Wasn't it Hippocrates (born around 460 BC), who by the way was called the "Father of Medicine" [2], the one that said, "All Disease is One"? I would imagine if the early so-called medical experts would have taken what Hippocrates to heart, and paid attention to what he was trying to communicate, many of the diseases we have to day could be cured, like "sickle cell anemia ... MS, Lupus, and other autoimmune diseases ... Parkinsons ... Alzheimers ... CANCER ... heart attacks ... DIABETES ... arthritis ... even such simple things as dental hygiene."
What do you suppose Hippocrates meant when he said that "all disease is one?" Do you think he was referring to inflammation? After all, according to medical professionals, "inflammation is a process by which the body's white blood cells and chemicals protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses." [3]
Studies continue to try and determine not only the source of inflammation but also a cure.
"...inflammation has become one of the hottest areas of medical research. Hardly a week goes by without the publication of yet another study uncovering a new way that chronic inflammation does harm to the body. It destabilizes cholesterol deposits in the coronary arteries, leading to heart attacks and potentially even strokes. It chews up nerve cells in the brains of Alzheimer's victims. It may even foster the proliferation of abnormal cells and facilitate their transformation into cancer. In other words, chronic inflammation may be the engine that drives many of the most feared illnesses of middle and old age." [4]
In an effort to find a cure, many non-prescription products continue to pop up in the marketplace. For several years now, Mangosteen, which according to some studies, is "compared to the strongest anti-inflammatory drug available." [1] I believe, at one time, that may have been the case. However, today we have a new discovery, TriVita's Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™.
TriVita's Nopalea™ (made from the Nopal cactus) specifically targets signs of inflammation in your body and reduces them quickly.[5] Its betalains and other anti-inflammatory ingredients work directly on the fluid surrounding your cells. There, they draw off the toxins and excess water to reduce inflammation and rebalance the cellular environment.
Harnessing the power of betalains, a rare and potent class of antioxidants that flourish in the Nopal cactus, not only helps to fight inflammation, it combats the poisons that attack our bodies on a daily basis. These poisons in our body come from the air we breather, the water we drink, and the food we eat; Nopalea ™ attacks these poisons where they strike us first: right inside the trillions of cells in our bodies.
According to Marcelle Pick, NP OB/GYN, "our bodies weren't designed for modern life. We're sitting ducks to a daily barrage of toxins, infectious agents and stress, seen and unseen. This kind of demand requires a lot of support to maintain your immune's system resilience. Our go-go lifestyle just doesn't make room unless we pay attention - to everything: what we breathe, eat, drink and absorb and feel. It all has a pro- or anti-inflammatory effect, and for most of us, the factors are skewed toward inflammation."[6]
We need to protect our bodies against these poisons on a daily basis, and that's not just the cells inside the body, it also includes your skin. As a matter of fact, your skin is a miraculous covering that protects you from harm. Pollution, toxins, radiation and other potentially damaging influences are kept out of your body by your skin; vital organs are protected inside. One of the first signs of aging is thin, sagging, withered skin that is easily damaged. Nopalea's betalains are working outside your body to help protect your skin.
Nopalea™ rushes to these damaged areas to shore up your protective layer. The betalains in Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ fill in the gaps of your cells (including the cells in your skin) and return them to the firm, robust nature of young cells - at any age. By providing a healthy environment for the cell, betalains keep it from withering.
If it's true what Hippocrates said, "all disease is one", and if the majority of diseases are in some way related to inflammation and toxins, doesn't it make sense to try TriVita's Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™, which has the powerful antioxidant betalains.
If inflammation is the problem - Nopalea™ may be the solution.
