Hello 

I have just uploaded my latest interview.

Inflammation is a Repair Deficit.

The Role of Antioxidants in Inflammation and Repair

In this interview, Dr. Russell Jaffe used a phrase that conceptually made a lot of sense in a few words. He said “Inflammation is Repair Deficit.”  This simple sounding phrase is a profound statement that leads to seeking how to facilitate repair in the body.

Inflammation is not a disease. It is a result of the body’s attempt to heal. When we use targeted nutrition, we are giving the body the specific nutrients to facilitate repair. Dr. Jaffe’s research has led to our understanding of the role of specific antioxidants for inflammation repair.

“Inflammation is like a smoldering fire that eventually eats through the fiber of our being. Because it affects the connective tissue infrastructure upon which our bodies are built, repair deficits can occur in any part of the body that is stressed, lacking in nutrients, or more exposed to toxins. This makes inflammation an underlying co-morbidity for many ills including:

• Cardiovascular problems like CAD, ASHD, PVD and stroke risk;
• Joint problems like Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis;
• Liver problems like infectious and non-infectious Hepatitis;
• Tendonitis;
• Immune problems like allergies, sinusitis, and asthma;
• Intestinal problems like IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and gastritis.

Inflammation always means a cumulative repair deficit or a block to repair completion. When one is healthy, repair occurs seamlessly and completely.” Quote from Inflammation and Repair: The power of PERQUE antioxidants.

Dr. Jaffe has researched the role of specific antioxidants and their benefits for chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is oxidative stress in action. The body produces free radicals as an inflammatory response. Chronic inflammation produces ongoing and unhealthy amounts of free radicals. Over production of free radicals damages healthy cells. This increases the inflammatory response leading to tissue damage caused by oxidative stress. And so on. The question is how do we change the repair deficit naturally?
