Inflammation Relief - A New Supplement

Patients come to Healing Arts with all sorts of health concerns. Headaches, bloating, acne, constipation, insomnia, fatigue, infertility, eczema, brain fog, the list can go on and on. My answer is always the same, muscle test the body to see what toxins the body is holding in order to reduce inflammation. Inflammation in the head is a headache or migraine. Inflammation in the joints is pain. Inflammation in the gut is bloating and so on. The root cause of all dis-ease is inflammation. What we find with the muscle testing is why. Is the reason for the inflammation heavy metals, heavy chemicals, bad flora, parasites, or a food sensitivity? I fell in love with the technique of muscle testing because it is so fast and noninvasive, giving me and my patients answers.

When starting to detox and supporting the body with the right nutrition it takes time to get the inflammation down and yet I want patients to get symptomatic relief as soon as possible and I have noticed throughout the years I would have to give 2-3 different anti-inflammatory supplements to do the job so I decided to make my own supplement, called Inflammation Relief, that contained everything to help lower the inflammation. It contains Curcumin, Pepperine (Black Pepper), Fenugreek, Gotu Kola, Quercitin, Boswelia, Bromelain, and Magnesium lactate.

Curcumin is a well known anti-inflammatory. It is the active ingredient in turmeric and works ten times better with black pepper so add both to your cooking every chance you get or buy in supplement form. Make sure the supplement has black pepper in it too. I do about a teaspoon of turmeric in my superfood protein shake with a pinch of black pepper every morning. Curcumin specifically is great for reducing inflammation in joints, lungs and brain. For the brain it works by encouraging the immune system to send white blood cells called macrophages to the brain in order to destroy any abnormal proteins, restoring proper brain function. Now the reason I added fenugreek to the supplement is because fenugreek helps curcumin absorption into our bodies. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1756464616000426

So black pepper helps curcumin work and fenugreek helps it’s bioavailability.

Magnesium is another great supplement to help with inflammation. Magnesium can help with lots of different things including sleep and bowel movements. It helps with those things because it lowers the inflammation.

Boswelia also known as frankincense is amazing at reducing inflammation especially in joints with cartilage breakdown, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and osteoarthritis (OA). It’s also used to treat symptoms of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease and inflammation in the gut in general.

Bromelain is an enzyme find in pineapple that breaks down protein and has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects comparable to NSAIDs. It too can help with bowel inflammation and help boost up the immune system and fight bacterial infections . When the immune system is stronger it can fight or get rid of whatever is causing the inflammation in the first place.

You’ve heard the old saying, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Today, researchers in the field of antioxidants and the effects of micronutrients are beginning to explain why this old adage is more scientifically true than we may have thought. Apples, as well as many other colorful fruits and vegetables, contain a rich amount of a particularly powerful antioxidant called quercetin. Onions have the highest known quercetin content. Other common foods with significant levels of quercetin include:

• Apples

• Cauliflower

• Grapes

• Nectarines

• Spinach

• Strawberries

• Tea

• Tomatoes

Although quercetin is commonly found in many of the foods included in a healthy diet, I use it in this supplement at a therapeutic dosage because it’s such a strong antioxidant.

Quercetin has potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, antiviral, immune-boosting, and other biological properties. Quercetin works in multiple ways to help prevent or alleviate the symptoms of a variety of conditions, including:

• Cancer

• Canker sores

• Heart disease

• Herpes

• Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

• Nasal allergy relief

• Respiratory infections

Quercetin’s antioxidant properties also appear to offer sunscreen protection against damage to the skin from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.

Gotu Kola is great for improving circulation which of course, the more blood flow the less inflammation. Studies suggest supplementing with gotu kola may help you improve your blood circulation. A study conducted on 87 participants diagnosed with poor circulation showed noticeable improvement when given 30 to 60 milligrams two times a day for 60 days. Additionally, eight more studies reported gotu kola effectively improved circulation while alleviating poor circulation symptoms, including pain, heaviness in the legs and swelling. Gotu Kola also helps reduce chronic inflammation by triggering antioxidant activity within the body.

So those are the details of why I put those ingredients in my third personally formulated herbal supplement. With the right nutrition the body truly can heal. To purchase the Healing Arts supplement, Inflammation Relief, https://healingartsnyc.com/shop/inflammation-relief

The Beauty of Stem Cell Rejuvenation

Cell replication occurs about 330 billion times a day! The equivalent to about 1% of all our cells.  In 80 to 100 days we will have replenished 30 trillion cells and have close to a new you.  This is why good nutrition is so important.  You want to give cells the right replacement parts to replicate themselves in a healthy way.   The only thing holding you back from a truly brand new you is your nervous system.  Nerves are slowest to grow for they take 7 years but just think about that, a new body every 7 years and if you treat it right it could rejuvenate in 7 years or it could degenerate.  The choice is yours and it is the thousand of choices we make a day that add up to create the type of new body we will have 7 years from now.  

To help us grow these new cells, our body makes stem cells. Sutures of the skull is one place where the body creates stem cells.  Stem cells are blank cells that shift form and become tissues and bone depending on what our body needs. Stem cells are found throughout the body but the other main place they are found is in bone marrow.  Once stimulated they can go anywhere and become any new cell.  They truly are our internal fountain of youth.  The question is how do we stimulate our stem cells?  There is something called  stem cell therapy that we do at Healing Arts.  We use Biocell Stem Cell supplements which are formulated to optimize cell function because if we have healthy cells we will be healthier every day.  When cell biology and molecular engineering come together they create a new modality of healing for patients.  Stem Cell supplements allow healing to be preventative for patients who are healthy and at the same time create a new healing for patients with degenerative issues in which there is cell loss and low ability for the body to heal itself.  Give the body the right parts to repair at a cellular level and when they replicate with the new parts they create better cells that then go on to replicate healthier tissue.  

Biocell supplements work together to promote energy production and cell growth.  They are formulated with ingredients that are 100% natural with the highest quality standards.They contain very specific stem cells in combination with antioxidants, enzymes and vitamins to optimize the formulas and their therapeutic affects. No chemicals, GMO or unwanted substances are used.  Modern technology ensures the recovery of assets in a natural way so these supplements are safe and extremely effective in regenerating the body, cell by cell. They have stem cell supplements to make healthier cells for the liver, thyroid, kidneys, hormones, skin and more! Healthier cells equals a healthier you.  

I think stem cell stimulation has something to do with pressure.  We have to use it to not lose it.  That’s why the number one treatment for osteoporosis (bone loss) is weight bearing exercises.  We need to apply pressure to the bones to stimulate the stem cells and get calcium into the bones. I believe bones can remodel and grow more dense into our 70s and likely longer.  Of course it’s easier if you are 25 years old or younger but it still can be done.  

To help the aging of the skin we use a stem cell supplement from Biocell called Dermal and then topically a frankincense roll on for dark aging spots which I see mostly on patients’ faces but I have seen them at times on back of hands and shoulders too.  65% of the time they will go away just with the frankincense roll on but the combination is excellent for most aging dark spots.
