Re: Weight loss issues vs. CR issues/Inflammation

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thanks for posting this study. I think that sometimes G & C (from

food)doesn't work, perhaps, for some because their system may not be

assimilating as well as it should be - simple - but could be. (Or some

of us veggies aren't getting enough.)

I also think that the reason G & C supplementation doesn't work as well

for some as it does for others, is that there is more than one type of

inflammation (maybe 5 or 6 others?) that can cause these symptoms and

G & C seems to work best only on cartilage/joint deterioration. Is that

right?

One type of inflammation develops when your body is too acid. Also if

your immune system is overactive, or if you have low-grade infections.

In fact, IMO, if we could get rid of all inflammation in the body we

wouldn't be sick! But, I do think that it depends on WHY one has pains

in the joints etc., as to what supplementation should be used, and

this could be one reason that G & C doesn't work well for some and works

great for others.
