What is Inflammation


WHAT IS INFLAMMATION?

Usually inflammation helps us because it helps our bodies to fend off various disease-causing bacteria, viruses and parasites. The instant any of these potentially deadly microbes gets into the body, inflammation launches an attack and kills off the invader and then the healing can begin. So inflammation can help heal injuries and protect us from infections.



But . . . with so many deadly toxins that we are exposed to on a daily basis and with diets high in sugar and saturated fats, it makes it easier for the body to become inflamed and inflammation can become chronic.
An out-of-control inflammatory response can destroy healthy tissue and cause more damage than the original problem. Keeping it under control means the immune system must maintain a balance between fanning the flames of inflammation and cooling it down. Peter A. Ward (M.D. 1960, Residency 1963). Ward says. All autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, lupus or multiple sclerosis are diseases in which the inflammatory response is unregulated, excessive and out of control.



Time Magazine published an article on inflammation and wrote about how chronic inflammation may be the engine that drives many of the most feared illnesses. You can read the article HERE. Read about the surprising link between inflammation and heart attacks, cancer, alzheimer’s and other diseases.



Inflammation has long been linked to both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Now, there’s emerging research that also links chronic inflammation to allergies, asthma, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, diabetes, digestive disorders, heart disease, hormonal imbalances and osteoporosis.
So What’s The Solution?

Going to pick up some new ceramic pieces on Sunday

Judy finally got a chance to call so if nothing happens in her family I will be able to pick up Laurens woman barrel racing horse, some hummingbirds if she has them and some large piggy banks. I’ll also look around for other items I think people might like to paint. If there is something specific anyone wants. Let me know or remind me.

The small coffee cups and some new stuff I ordered should be here by about Friday. I ordered them last week in time for fathers day which is coming up sooner than you may think.

Barbara M.  my first customer for the TriVita Sonoran Bloom Nopalea came in to show me her not swollen finger and that she can now make a fist with her hand. She was very excited about how the Nopalea is working for her and has just put her husband on it for his feet.

Well I just painted my first BIG ceramic green dragon with the new FashenHues colors. Once you get the hang of them they can create some beautiful contrasts on your piece. Kay is working on an entire 9 piece set for Christmas. Santa and Mrs. Clause backed up to a pot bellied stove with their dog and cat.

New Product Here at Blue Frog Arts

Just wanted to to fill everyone in on a new product that we will be offering here at Blue Frog Arts. It is the new anti inflammatory blend called Sonoran Bloom Nopalea from TriVita. You may have seen their infomercials on television early in the mornings or late at night for their sub-lingual B-12 product. Trivita has a new division called Share and Earn.

Here at Blue Frog we liked their new Nopalea product so much we want to share it. It is made from the Nopal Cactus in the Sonoran Desert and contains Betalains. These Betalains are what make Nopalea so effective against inflammation. We will be having Monday night tastings from 7 to 8 for you to learn more.
