In my last blog I introduced the five pillars of our immune system. This one covers blood,  or more specifically how we regulate blood pressure, how the immune system uses blood pressure to help us recover from bacterial or viral infections and injuries and what micronutrients are involved to support this process. I also observe that industrial food production tilts the playing field to favor chronic inflammation and high blood pressureBlood pressure is regulated by the Renin- Angiotensin-System (RAS). Note some scientists call this RAAS with the extra "A" referring to a steroid called Aldosterone. Here is what is going...

There are two types of inflammation. Acute inflammation happens when we get injured. Our body's  immune system kicks in. Eicosanoids signal other cells where the problem is and the troops respond to by flooding the area with white blood cells to prevent infections, help healing and dilating blood vessels to increase blood flow (which leads to swelling) and deliver more nutrients to the site to aid in creating the energy needed to make the repair (heat).    Once the job is done, eicosanoids signal back to other cells to stand down. Chronic inflammation, however,  is a silent killer. This condition happens...

I sell CBD products from Snce Labs on this site and in my store. They recently introduced Eicosadose Immune System Booster  and shared lots of information with me about how our immune system works and why Eicosadose has 9 micronutrients in it. To help me, they broke the immune system down into 5 pillars.  I decided this was important to share with you. This will be the first blog in a series I want to write. Each week I will dive into one of the pillars.  There is quite a bit of chemistry going on so here so will do my...
