Guest guest Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 many eminent American naturopaths and natural health doctors have spent many years lecturing on and expounding the role of chronic inflammation as a cause of disease not just a consequence. regards , annette Prostate cancer response Dr Etheridge wrote I would use a lot of anti-inflammatories as it is high grade and large volume.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Dear Most, if not all cancers have been shown to be linked to inappropriate inflammation. Inflammation has a root-cause in stimulating the cancer formation and also in its continued growth and propagation. There has been much research about this and I presented a seminar about this at the last CPP AGM meeting. If you look at the current research literature you will see that many diseases are linked to inappropriate, chronic inflammation (diabetes, Alzheimer’s Disease, heart disease etc. etc.). Since cancers generally do have a (chronic) inflammatory component (and yes inflammatory markers such as CRP, ESR, VEGF etc are all raised) and in my findings with many cancer patients, I find (like many other herbalists) that cancer tends to respond well to anti-inflammatory therapies, as this normalises the inappropriate inflammation down to a normal level, restoring homeostatis and allowing the immune system to concentrate on fighting the cancer rather than being caught up in the inflammatory response. I agree that inflammation is a key physiological response, but it is one that has gone out of control in many cancer patients, with the chronic inflammation “feeding” the cancer. I do feel that inflammation is one of the first steps in the development of cancer, and this is backed up by modern research (as you will see if you download my talk from the CPP). I agree that tackling elimination and circulation are key to the treatment of cancer. I did not mention these as in the case being discussed, I felt these were already being addressed by the use of herbal teas and tinctures.
