The Dangers of Silent Inflammation   by Mrs. Bev Storer

Inflammation has been in the news a lot lately. Not just inflammation but silent inflammation. It’s been the topic in countless newspaper articles and TV news reports. So what’s all the fuss about silent inflammation?
According to Dr. Barry Sears, PhD, writer of the New York Times bestseller 'The Anti Inflammation Zone' (as well as being a patented research scientist and inventor of the worlwide known Zone Diet Program), Silent inflammation is inflammation that you can’t feel and what’s more average Americans are leading a lifestyle that causes chronic silent inflammation. He also claims that silent inflammation is the first sign that your body is out of balance and you are no longer in a state of wellness. You cannot feel it but its wearing down your heart, your brain as well as your immune system. It is quite insidious and is a major threat to your overall health and wellness. When over-produced by the body, 3 specific hormones - Cortisol, Insulin and Pro-Inflammatory Eicosanoids - contribute to silent inflammation and set the stage for disease.
Dr. Sears claims that wellness is really dependent on the levels of cellular inflammation and particularly silent inflammation found in your body. If you have what he calls screaming pain or an existing chronic disease then you know your are not well. However silent inflammation is different because it is in fact ongoing inflammation that is under the pain threshold, so it is therefore quite difficult to detect and you cannot determine it by sight alone.
Your first line of defense against silent inflammation is the Zone Diet Plan. The Zone Diet Plan was designed to reverse this dangerous silent inflammation. The main key to keeping silent inflammation under control lies in keeping your glycemic load high enough to avoid ketosis and low enough to avoid excess insulin secretion. You also need to balance that with the proper amount of protein and fat. It’s really not that hard. You can learn all about the Zone Diet by reading either of Dr. Sears’ books, 'The Anti-Inflammation Zone' or 'The OmegaRx Zone-The Miracle of the New High Dose Fish Oil'.
The other very important thing you can do to control silent inflammation is to take a daily supplement of high-dose, ultra-refined fish oil. It is not at all the cod liver oil your grandmother used to take. It is the new generation of fish oils – the ultra-refined, ultra-pure fish oils. These fish oils have less than ten parts per billion (ppb) of Mercury, less than forty-five (ppb) of PCBs, less than one part per trillion (ppt) of Dioxins and less than thirteen meq/L Total Oxidation. These particular fish oils are not the fish oils found in health food stores or supermarkets. As a matter of fact, it takes a staggering one hundred gallons of a health-food grade fish oil to make a single gallon of the new ultra refined fish oil which is recommended by Dr. Sears. One such brand of ultra refined fish oil is Omega Rx Fish Oil (Molecularly Distilled), formerly called Pharmaceutical Grade Fish OIl)
On the cover of his book, The OmegaRx Zone – The Miracle of the New High Dose Fish Oil, he says that high-dose pharmaceutical grade fish oil is as close to a medical miracle as we shall see in the 21st century. As a matter of fact, he says that it is his most important Zone discovery ever....... So Get into the Zone today and take your fish oil!
