Inflammmation – The Silent Killer – By Dr. Rick Jahn

The Silent Killer – Inflammation – By Dr. Rick Jahn

As you age, it’s considered acceptable to begin getting sick. For organs to begin to fail, for health to begin to wain. The problem with this type of thinking seems to put the “blame” on time and age, rather than on ourselves.

The magic in this approach is you have the ability to maintain your health, starting when you are healthy, rather than just doing damage control.

Heart Attacks and Heart Disease – What Some Doctors Aren’t Telling You Can Kill You!

53 per cent of all Americans will die from heart disease and/or heart attacks. Over half of these have normal or lower than normal cholesterol levels. According to Dr. Scott J Deron,  certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine and a fellow of the American College of Cardiology, this is a fact in a study of over 85,000 patients done over a 10 year period. The other factor, twice as important as your cholesterol level, is your highly sensitive or HS C-Reactive Protein level or CRP. Many doctors are familiar with the term, but they aren’t testing for it. A CRP test will measure the amount of low grade or “silent inflammation” in your body.

Mirgaine Triggers And Best Ways to Manage Them
