Pain

Pain is your body screaming that something is wrong!

Taking a pain killer presumes that the body will correct the problem and the pain will go away in due time.

But what if the pain is brought on by a chronic disorder?

In that case, the pain will not go away until the chronic disorder is resolved.

What are the causes of pain?

Pain is a response to something affecting a nerve.

One possible cause of pain can be spinal misalignment putting pressure on a nerve as it exits the spinal column. In such cases, the pain can be felt anywhere in the body, not just in the back. If you suspect spinal misalignment, I suggest that you see a good chiropractor.

A second possible cause of pain is inflammation of nearby tissue putting pressure on the nerve. If you suspect that inflammation may be the cause of your pain, I suggest that you read my blog on inflammation. You can get to it by clicking here.

A third possible cause of pain is the nerve itself being attacked. It can be attacked by a pathogen or by the body’s own immune system.

If you suspect a pathogen, such as a virus or bacteria, a natural response is to provide your body with products that reinforce the immune system and suppress the pathogen.

Colloidal silver has been recognized for millennia for its ability to fight infection. The Roman army put silver coins in its water supply to keep it pure. Colloidal silver does not kill bacteria or viruses, but it prevents them from multiplying, allowing your immune system to destroy those that do get into your system. AND it does not interfere with the good bacteria in your body. I like RBC Life’s Silver 22 because its nano particle size allows the silver to get to the pathogens wherever they are in the body. I take three to four teaspoons a day when I’m fighting an infection.

Another known anti-pathogen is olive leaf extract. The olive tree is the oldest living organism on the earth. Some olive trees are over 4000 years old. Scientists believe that the reason for their longevity is found in the leaves. They have discovered that olive leaf extract is a strong antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal, and antioxidant. But its taste is very bitter. RBC Life has formulated a liquid supplement that is rich in olive leaf extract but tastes good. It’s called OliViva. I take a half ounce every day for prevention, but up that to 3-4 ounces a day when I’m fighting an infection.

What about the immune system? Whether the immune system is underactive, leading to frequent and lingering infections, or overactive, leading to allergies or auto-immune disorders, it can be brought into balance with VitAloe, Immune 360, and TruAloe nutritional supplements from RBC Life. I’ll write more about these in a subsequent blog.
