Healing Trauma by Addressing Chronic Inflammation and Understanding the Warburg Effect

Chronic inflammation plays a significant role in the development of scar tissue and fibrosis, increasing the risk for conditions like cancer. Inflammation, including osmotic pressure and leaky cells, is vital for healing but must be controlled to prevent chronic issues. The Warburg effect, where damaged cells shift to glucose metabolism, is linked to cancer development. Techniques like PET scans can identify areas of inflammation and high glucose metabolism, aiding in cancer detection.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about eight ways to improve physical trauma. Inflammation is part of the body’s healing response. You can't heal without inflammation. Inflammation is only a problem when it becomes chronic.

Inflammation is the most potent carcinogen. Anything that involves chronic inflammation increases your risk for cancer.

When trying to resolve physical trauma, you want to fix the chronic inflammatory state. Let’s take a look at eight ways to improve physical trauma.

1. Isolate and eliminate the problem

Find out if a food or habit is causing your problem. The carnivore diet or the keto diet can help eliminate issues caused by certain foods.

2. Contrast therapy

Alternate between hot and cold therapy. Try a sauna, cold therapy, or hot and cold showers. This increases circulation in the lymphatic system and improves inflammation at the cellular level.

3. Exercise

One of the most potent things for chronic inflammation is exercise. When you have an injured body part, there is a lack of motion in that area. Putting your body into motion may help reduce inflammation.

4. Stretching

Stretching can help you sleep, improve joint health and motion, and improve posture. It can also break up scar tissue that’s causing inflammation.

5. Vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, B3, polyphenols, methylene blue

High levels of vitamin D can help remodel tissues in the body. Vitamin B3, omega-3 fatty acids, and polyphenols may help reduce inflammation. Methylene blue is one of the first synthetic medications. It can help reduce inflammation at the cellular level and helps to support the mitochondria.

6. Opposite technique

Apply pressure on the opposite side of the body as your pain or trauma.

7. Fasting

Fasting is a surprising way to reduce inflammation in the body.

8. Shockwave therapy

This unique therapy is painless and helps target scar tissue and inflammation.
