The human body naturally contains fungi, bacteria, and occasionally viruses in a collection known as the microbiome. The microbiome may sound somewhat frightening, but it is a crucial factor in overall wellness.
The community of microorganisms living on the skin and inside the body protects the body, improves digestion, and much more. Imbalances in the microbiome can affect how it functions and the benefits it brings to the body. A microbiome imbalance can enable many illnesses. Correcting these imbalances may be the answer to eliminating chronic inflammation.
Understanding Inflammation
Not all inflammation causes harm. The body relies on inflammation for protection. The swelling in targeted areas of the body keeps tissue protected during healing and shields healthy cells from pathogens. It is a natural armor that allows vulnerable tissue repairs to take place without further injury.
Chronic inflammation is when the body causes swelling when no injury or risk exists. The inflammation can occur throughout the body and stay in place too long. Chronic inflammation can also come and go, but it can still cause damage to healthy cells. The constant attacks on the body eventually cause irreparable tissue damage.
Choosing Natural Remedies for Inflammation
Inflammation can become an overwhelming health concern for people who must consistently manage it. Medical treatments may stop the symptoms by temporarily ending the swelling, but the only way to stop the risk of it returning is to correct the cause. However, it is possible to make this happen, and the most reliable inflammation treatments happen when the individual protects themselves by building a healthy microbiome.
The right food, a healthy weight, and regular exercise help prevent and relieve chronic inflammation. These methods achieve the goal of relief from chronic conditions because they contribute to keeping the microbiome regulated. Diet modifications, lifestyle changes, and using the right supplements as needed can make it possible to receive optimum wellness.
Dr. Robert Lichtenstein overcame his stage 4 cancer twice with these methods. Dr. Lichtenstein used his knowledge as a Board-Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) and a chiropractor to discover how to strengthen the body so it can heal itself. He helps patients to do the same for their health needs. You are invited to a free phone consultation to discuss your specific needs.
I can remember my father complaining about the pain he had in his knees and back when got older. When I was diagnosed with inflammation, I was motivated to do everything I could to not repeat my dad's lifestyle. But that's exactly what happened. My doctors did little to find the source of my symptoms.
When I explained this to Dr. Lichtenstein, he seemed all too familiar with my story. He took the time to understand all of my systems and created a personal plan to heal without medicine. Today, my inflammation isn't gone 100%, but it only flares up now and then. I feel like Dr. Lichtenstein helped me overcome what my dad couldn't.

Chronic inflammation is not always obvious in the same way as acute swelling. For example, someone with a broken foot will understand why their foot is puffy. Chronic inflammation can happen in one area or become systemwide, so it is impossible to pinpoint. The symptoms of the condition will help people identify the problem. Some common symptoms of chronic inflammation include:
Some people may never discover why they developed chronic inflammation. Sometimes, the health problem begins after an injury or infection. Long-lasting inflammation after any trauma is a clear indication of distress in the microbiome. Many illnesses rely on medications like antibiotics, which are known to throw off the balance of the microbiome. Imbalances within the digestive system commonly cause issues with immune response. Some additional factors that can cause chronic inflammation include:
Chronic inflammation cannot remain in the body without causing extensive damage. Anyone with the condition needs to find a solution. The inflammatory response is the body attacking a risk, except in chronic cases, the immune system sees the body as the risk.
The constant efforts of the immune system will eventually destroy the organ, tissue, or other body parts under attack. Chronic inflammation remedies are a necessity for people who want a healthy future. Health conditions caused by untreated chronic inflammation include:
Chronic inflammation is a curable disease, but it requires people to make changes and remain vigilant about their wellness. A more efficient, healthier microbiome can enable people to fight illness more effectively and prevent many others.
