There is one cause of all chronic disease and it is inflammation. We can say that all chronic disease is caused by inflammation.
This is a well understood concept even in the conventional medicine world, whereby they’d use anti-inflammatory drugs to treat and then if those aren’t working then they just shut down the whole immune system with some immunosuppressant drugs.
What you need to understand is that Inflammation is a self protective mechanism to remove harmful substances in its environment.
An example is the flu, the body mounts an inflammatory response to eradicate the offending virus. This is a healthy response. It’s a putting out the fire type of response.
The problem is when a persistent stimuli continuously activates the inflammatory process, then it leads to tissue damage and cellular dysfunction.
We do want to put out the fire but we also want to find out what’s causing the fire. The challenge is that causes are typically multi-causal.
The causes of chronic inflammation are food intolerances, immune challenges, heavy metals, environmental toxins, and it can also include emotional conflicts or physical traumas like injuries, surgeries or scars.
The key to true healing is identifying and removing causes on inflammation.
