Jan 4, 2025 Inflammation is a powerful immune response that, if unchecked, can lead to serious diseases like cancer. Chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia may stem from viruses resurfacing when the immune system is weak. Stress triggers cortisol production, further exacerbating inflammation. Various causes include old injuries, food allergies, and insulin resistance. To combat inflammation, remedies like Vitamin D3, the carnivore diet, and intermittent fasting are highlighted, alongside the potential of probiotics like L. reuteri.
