Ellie Winslow: Helping people take control of inflammation

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone – One of our members, Ellie Winslow, wrote to me recently with details of her own health-related research. I think you will find Ellie's Blog with time-saving articles about taking control of your inflammation, helpful, and useful. Ellie is a published author, and also runs her own delightful website with an emphasis on marketing.

In Ellie's own words, below, read about the direction her health-related concerns, and personal research has taken her. Thank you, Ellie, for sending this information to our group!

I hope you all are finding ideas, and concepts, via your own research, to increase your well-being. Healing, on any level, is something to be valued by those of us dealing with prolongued illnesses. Have a great day!

In peace & Harmony

Ellie Winslow...I came to this list, first because my daughter has fibromyalgia. Butsecondly, over the last couple of years I've had the privilege ofdigging into what's really known about human health, aging andnutrition. What I learned is that all the problems of health, agingand nutrition start with the body's immune system kicked into aconstant simmer. It goes by many names, chronic inflammation beingthe most accepted and used.Chronic inflammation starts all disease processes. What amind-bender! One single problem is at the beginning and root ofeverything that goes wrong with humans! That's a startling statement!When I figured it out, I was stunned! All the doctors all themedicines and all the nutritionists are downstream from that beginningpoint of raging inflammation. Modern humans, for the most part, areon fire!Even more amazing to me was discovering it didn't just start heartdisease, cancer, diabetes and the "standard" diseases of civilization,but things we don't often pay enough attention to. Like tiredness,depression, arthritis, insomnia, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, andyes, cfs/fibro! Wow! was all I could think!Mainstream is just beginning to acknowledge that out of controlinflammation causes disease. They say things like, "This disease hasan inflammatory component." I say things like, "If you don't feelgood, check your level of inflammatory chemicals, first!"My plan at age 66 after finally getting my fourth joint replacement,was to just get thin again and write a book for baby boomers and thosebeyond, on how to have a better last quarter of life. What I foundout was that the arthritis I thought was just genetic (yes, my dad hadit too) was actually a result of inflammation out of control, and thatI HAVE control of that!If you have a year or two, you can dig into this stuff too. It's notmainstream, but it's not totally hidden, either. There is a medicalparadigm that includes heavy money and heavy industry interests totreat symptoms, not causes. And no one--not doctors or pharmaceuticalcompanies or the huge fast food and junk food industries--can make anymoney if patients eliminate the causes of disease and poor aging.If you need help, if you don't have time to dig through all thewebsites, blogs, research papers and sort it all out, I am availablefor help! Contact info below in a short bio.I have written Reader's Digest Condensed versions of what's knownabout these subjects (available at the website). I write weekly (orso) articles at my blog about things I think will help people takecontrol of inflammation and ultimately life! (see addy below)Inflammation can be cured. I've done it and in a few weeks will havethe blood work results to show the clinical evidence. But here's thesecret. When you no longer have pain, you no longer haveout-of-control inflammation!I invite any who are willing to do the(sometimes-out-of-step-with-society) work of cleaning up theinflammation in their life to feel great for the rest of it!Best wishes!Ellie Winslow,(BIO)Ellie Winslow's education was in English and Biology, herpassions have included health and fitness for the last severaldecades.
