Inflammation: Why it’s Essential to Your Health and Why it’s Called the ‘Secret 

Killer’

Without inflammation you would probably not be alive but, equally, 

inflammation that goes wrong can have serious consequences

Introduction

In 2012 I had so bad a case of plantar fasciitis that I could not walk without leaning on the wall for support when I got out of bed each morning.

I learnt that plantar fasciitis is an inflammation-related condition and, as part of treating it, I learnt as much as I could about inflammation – why it’s essential to your survival, but how dangerous it can be to your health when it goes wrong.

This presentation gives some key points but, at the end, there’s a link to a much more detailed report I have produced on:

What inflammation isWhat it’s supposed to do

What triggers it

Why it goes wrong

Its role in many serious diseases

How to reduce it through natural means and products

What is Inflammation?

Inflammation shows up in your body as one or all of:

Heat

Pain

Swelling

And sometimes as all three

But there’s also inflammation you cannot feel:

Inflammation in your arteries

Inflammation in your heart

What is the Role of Inflammation?

Why does your body generate inflammation?

It is your body’s first line of defence against:

Invading bacteria from cuts and abrasions

Invading viruses from what you eat, breathe, drink and touch

Therefore it is essential to your survival

Causes of Inflammation

What causes inflammation?In addition to viruses and bacteria, toxins that you take in through:

The air you breathe (atmospheric pollution)

The water you drink (purified with numerous chemicals)

The food you eat (processed, laced with preservatives and intensively

farmed in order to boost productivity)

Stress

… all trigger inflammation.

We live in an inflammatory environment – it’s almost impossible to avoid it

How Does Inflammation Work?

How should inflammation work?

It should work by:

Attacking and destroying the invading viruses, bacteria or toxins

Receding to allow the healing process to start once the ‘invaders’

have been dealt with

But sometimes the process goes wrong

www.MartinMalden.com Page: 6

What Happens it Goes Wrong?

What happens when inflammation goes wrong?

The inflammation process does not recede

You feel chronic or persistent pain in your:

Joints – hip, shoulder, back, wrists, knees, etc

Connective tissue – tendons, ligaments

Muscles – neck, arms, legs

Long‐term pain is an indicator of inflammation that’s gone wrong

Medical Research into Inflammation

Medical research has revealed that inflammation is at the root of many serious diseases:

Asthma (inflammation in the respiratory system)

Digestive problems, including Crohn’s disease (inflammation in

the bowel and digestive system)

Heart disease (inflammation in the arteries and heart)

Some types of cancer

Some types of arthritis

Fibromyalgia

Inflammation is at the root of many serious diseases

How Can You Control Inflammation?

The key to reducing inflammation is to reduce the intake of inflammation triggers & strengthen your body’s detox process to better enable it to expel toxins:

Reduce the intake of toxins through food and drink

Increase water consumption to aid the detox process

Reduce stress (stress triggers adrenalin that converts to cortisol

that converts to fat, which triggers inflammation)

Proper rest (& recovery) through good sleeping patterns

Anti-inflammatory/detoxification supplements

While anti‐inflammatory supplements are helpful, reviewing your entire lifestyle is essential to meaningfully reducing inflammation

More Information?

More details about inflammation, its causes, why it goes wrong, what happens when it goes wrong, its role in heart disease and other serious illnesses, and how to reduce it naturally, are available in a detailed report I’ve produced.

In addition to my own research, the report includes excerpts from, and links to, articles by other researchers, doctors and even a heart surgeon.
