Why You Should be Concerned about Chronic Inflammation

December 02, 2023 Thomas Terwilliger

If you haven’t thought of Chronic Inflammation as a problem you should be concerned about then you should consider the following:

Recent clinical research has revealed that chronic inflammationplays a significant role in the development of illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, COPD and some cancers.
Researchers have demonstrated a link between chronic inflammation and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease, ALS and stroke.
The World Health Organization estimates that 3 out of 5 deaths worldwide are a result of illnesses created by chronic inflammation.

Now that I have your attention, let’s define chronic inflammation, causes and the symptoms you should look for. Types of Inflammation & Causes Acute Inflammation is the body’s natural response to physical injury and infection which consists of inflammatory cells and cytokines (cells that stimulate the development of inflammatory cells) that initiate the healing process. Acute inflammation naturally dissipates after healing is complete. Acute information is necessary for the body’s healthy functioning. Chronic Inflammation is when your body continues/initiates the inflammatory response when there is no injury or infection. “Chronic inflammation is a silent disorder. All people are being bombarded daily with chronic inflammation which is slowly waging a war of attrition on our tissues and organs.” (Marvin S. Hausman, MD, NuGenea Whitepaper). What Causes Chronic Inflammation There are a variety of causes of chronic inflammation including:

Autoimmune diseases,such as rheumatoid arthritis, where inflammatory cells and cytokines attack healthy joint tissue resulting in inflammation that can significantly damage joints. Other autoimmune diseases include Lupus, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s disease, and Addison’s disease.
Exposure to environmental toxins such as chemicals and pollution.
Untreated acute inflammation.
Behavioral issues such as drinking alcohol to excess, smoking, obesity, and chronic stress.

What are the Symptoms of Chronic Inflammation We’re all familiar with the common signs of acute inflammation; redness, pain/tenderness, swelling and skin warm to touch. Chronic inflammation is very subtle, and the symptoms may be difficult to see, especially when compared to acute inflammation. Chronic inflammation may be the culprit especially if you are experiencing:

Abdominal Pain
Chest Pain
Fatigue
Fever
Joint Pain or Stiffness
Skin Rash
Unexplained Mouth Sores

WebMDlists the following challenges as potentially indicative of chronic inflammation and the resulting illnesses to be concerned about:

Balance Problems Multiple Sclerosis
Insulin Resistance Diabetes
Muscle Weakness Myositis
Diarrhea Crohn’s Disease
Lower Back Pain Ankylosing Spondylitis
Arteriosclerosis Stroke, Heart Attack
Blood Clotting Stroke, Heart Attack, Pulmonary Embolism
Dry Eye Sjorgren’s Syndrome
Brain Fog Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia

The scientific community is studying the role that chronic inflammation plays in the development of cancers. Precision Genomics, one our sister companies, has an International Review Board (IRB) approval to study if inflammatory mRNA biomarkers can be used for the early detection of initial bladder cancer and recurrent bladder cancer diagnoses. Other researchers are looking into chronic inflammation’s role in colorectal, lung, breast,and other cancers.
