The human body is actually a very sensitive organism. There are many microscopic hazards and chemicals on the surface of our bodies, in the air we breathe, in the food we eat, and in the water we drink. In all these conditions, it may even seem surprising that we are still alive. So, in this complex environment, what protects us and keeps us alive? The answer to this question is the immune system; This is the name of the miracle system that protects us against all external factors at all times, even if we are not aware of it, thanks to numerous components and substances secreted from the body.
A part of our immune system protects us against the threats it encounters. It creates an immediate response, usually in the form of acute inflammation. For example, a nail stuck in your foot and germs entered the body from there. This fast-working, natural part of the immune system immediately begins to work to kill microbes and heal the wound by sending defense cells and chemicals to this area. This is an acute inflammation. A situation such as swelling, redness, pain, increased temperature and inability to function occurs in that area. This system has no memory, events repeat each time as if they were happening for the first time. The important thing here is that this type of inflammatory response ends when the immune system completes its task and disappears with symptoms in the body.
The other part of our immune system works as the acquired immune system. This system is specific to the agent and has memory. In other words, once the factor that causes inflammation enters the body, immune cells recognize it and if it re-enters the body later, they immediately create a specific immune response. The body elements responsible for this mechanism are antibodies. Antibodies are elements that recognize a certain foreign substance that enters the body and cause inflammation there, thereby destroying the foreign substance. Many vaccines used today show body-protective properties thanks to this mechanism.
Some of the antibodies are responsible for the emergence of allergic reactions; these are the type of IgE (immunoglobulin E). In such a situation, when the allergen enters the body, they immediately call the elements of the natural immune system to that area, causing a very sudden inflammatory response; For example, someone who is allergic to peanuts The allergic response that occurs as soon as a person eats a bite of peanuts can be a very severe response that can lead to blockage of the airways.
Another group of antibodies is IgG (immunoglobulin G) type. These are antibodies and cause slower reactions. The response in this reaction, which is more defined as "sensitivity", can occur up to 72 hours, and therefore it is often difficult to identify the agent and consciously avoid this agent. Gluten and lactose sensitivities are of this type. This type of reaction can cause headaches, anxiety, depression, mood swings, seizures, lack of attention and concentration, confusion, memory problems, sleep problems, somnolence, fatigue, gas, belching, nausea, digestive difficulties, constipation, diarrhea, It may cause hormonal irregularities, irregular menstruation, hot flushes, weight gain, difficulty losing weight, joint pain, joint swelling, muscle pain, back pain, acne, itching, rash, urticaria and rashes. These events may continue as chronic inflammation and may even become permanent. This is actually a really bad situation, because the biggest risks we face today come from this chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is the underlying cause of many chronic diseases, from acne to cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, and possibly cancer. Normally, the inflammation should disappear and the body's immune system should stop, but as a result of repeated stimuli without allowing complete healing, mild inflammation that does not heal completely is shaped as chronic inflammation. When inflammation becomes chronic, the body can develop an antibody response even to its own systems.
For example, when our immune system is highly inflamed, anti-inflammatory chemical clusters called immune complexes are formed. These can progress along the veins, settle in the joints and cause inflammation in the joints, and signs of inflammation such as redness, swelling, pain, increased temperature and loss of function are detected. This may indicate that you are at risk for rheumatoid arthritis or that the disease has already begun. By eliminating the factors that cause inflammation in your body, we can prevent or sometimes reverse such autoimmune conditions.

No one knows how chronic inflammation turns into autoimmune diseases, but it is known that there is a serious relationship between the two. Chronic inflammation stresses the immune system and the immune system loses its regulation.
One factor in the formation of chronic inflammation in our body may be related to leaky intestines. Gluten, grains and some other nutrients, environmental toxins, some infections and increased stress load can lead to leaky gut, causing chronic inflammation.
The goal is to be inflammation-free, healthy and strong. is to create an immune system. Therefore, rearranging the diet, healing the intestine, getting rid of toxins, treating infections and reducing stress reduce chronic inflammation, creating an opportunity for the immune system to recover and helping it return to its optimum working rhythm.
So, if you ask what are the findings that are necessary for us to suspect the existence of chronic inflammation, here is the list: reflux, acne, attention deficit, allergies, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, arthritis, asthma, B12 deficiency, clotting disorders, confusion, cardiovascular diseases, depression. digestive disorders - gas, belching, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, dry eyes, eczema, fatigue, fibrocystic disease, gallstones, hair loss, headache, infertility, joint pain, muscle pain, obesity or overweight, especially around the abdomen, pancreatitis , insomnia, swollen-red-painful joints, uterine fibroids. If we have found that we have some of these in our body, we should try to get away from all the inflammation-stimulating factors that create them as soon as possible.
