Normally, the immune system produces just enough inflammation to keep infections, allergens, toxins or other stressors under control. However, when the natural balance of your immune system is disrupted, the immune system shifts into a chronic state of alarm spreading a smoldering fire of inflammation throughout the body.

In essence, the part of your immune system that is designed to protect you from foreign invaders starts attacking the cells and tissues of your own body. When this happens it can cause major problems. There are a few final causes that everyone in medicine (even most conventional medicine practitioners) agree are the sources of all diseases. Inflammation is one of them.

Cooling the fire of inflammation actually isn’t as hard as it sounds once you know how to do it. In this video, I’ll explain to you how to cool that fire inside of you alongside a few guests who have joined me on The Doctor’s Farmacy.
