Does inflammation cause disease?

If inflammation causes disease, this means that a completely healthy person can be walking down the street, minding their own business, then from out of nowhere 'inflammation' floods the body with the sole purpose of destroying healthy tissue.

Does anybody truly believe this, or are people simply confused about what's really going on?

Inflammation is the body's healing response. It's not the cause of disease. Tissue damage (caused by negative external inputs - i.e. toxins, poisons, physical trauma etc) occurs first. The body responds to this damage by mounting an inflammatory response (i.e. healing). People see tissue damage and inflammation in the same place, and come to an erroneous conclusion that inflammation must be the cause.

Talk about putting the horse before the cart.

The truth about inflammation, is that it is a conservative and regenerative process.

Inflammation is not the enemy, it's the body's healing response.

It's not out to harm you, or cause disease. It's there to repair the damage done to tissue from a harmful external input.

The tissue damage happens FIRST, followed by the inflammatory response (i.e. healing response).

Tissue damage (cause). Inflammation (effect).

The Bean People of Sonora

The O’odham people thrived in the harsh climate of the Sonoran desert for millennia. Spanish explorers nicknamed them the Papago, or “bean people”, because their diet consisted primarily of mesquite beans, ironwood seeds, palo verde pods, acacia pods, red, white and yellow tepary beans, and lima beans. They also ate acorns, prickly pear cactus, and cholla buds. When Europeans made contact with the O’odham, they described them as exceptionally healthy and physically fit people.

If plants cause disease, how were the O’odham able to consume a wide range of vegetation, whilst maintaining an exceptional standard of health?

Maybe the simple answer is, eating plants doesn’t cause disease.

What really happened during the Spanish Flu?

We are told that the H1N1 virus swept across the world, but was something else going on?

The symptoms of the Spanish Flu included;

- Coughing up blood
- Shortness of breath
- Right-sided heart failure
- Fluid accumulation in the lungs
- Body odour of musty hay, or straw
- Purplish-black skin discoloration (heliotrope cyanosis)

These symptoms are exactly the same as phosgene gas poisoning, a chemical warfare agent used during WWI. The damage to the body was so similar, that during autopsies, pathologists could not tell the difference between gas victims and those who had died of the flu.

Interestingly, the military and media outlets published reports of enemy spies deploying canisters of ‘flu germs’ in the streets, shopping centers, and cinemas of major cities. Were they really using ‘germs’ or something far more insidious?

All of this and much more is discussed in my new book Can You Catch A Cold?

What’s that smell?

The ‘mouldy odour’ in damp, water damaged buildings, might not be due to the mould itself, but from the aerosolization of toxic chemicals present in construction material. For example, chloroanisoles, a group of toxic chemicals used as a timber preservative, are converted into chlorophenols in the presence of dampness and mould. Chlorophenols are level 1 carcinogens, they cause acute intoxication in humans, and give off a characteristic ‘mouldy odour’. Exposure to these chemicals results in symptoms that resemble mould related illness.

A recent 2024 study concluded that the adverse health effects of these toxic substances has been confused with mould exposure. They also stated that ambiguous and misleading terms such as “sick building syndrome” and “dampness and mould” should be avoided, as they neglect or obscure more important hazards such as exposure to harmful man-made chemicals.

Mould isn't the problem, it's the toxic building material.

In 1845, the Royal Society of Medicine held an enquiry into influenza. They found that pandemics spread East to West, irrespective of which direction the prevailing winds blew. Even when the winds came from the West, the direction of spread remained unaffected.

In 1951, the Royal Society held another committee on influenza. In relation to the East to West phenomenon, Dr. Edgar Hope Simpson said, “The spread of influenza is roughly geographical, and not as one would expect along the lines of communication”.

If influenza is contagious, then the pattern of spread should reflect human social behaviour. That is, pandemics should have an epicenter and spread outwards in all directions. Curiously, every major pandemic in history has dispersed in an East to West direction. This environmental trend is incompatible with the theory of contagion.

If influenza is indeed communicable why would it follow a preferred direction of travel?

Mark Gober joins me to discuss his latest book “An End to Upside Down Medicine”. In this book, Mark takes an in-depth look at some of modern medicines ‘sacred cows’ including germ theory, contagion, the existence of viruses, and vaccines. He provides compelling evidence to show how our current understanding of these topics is lacking and in desperate need of revision. We also touch on ‘consciousness’ and how a shift in our thinking is required to steer society in the right direction.

Episode 79: Emrys Goldsworthy - Ex-carnivores

https://www.humanley.com/blog/episode79

There is a growing trend to blame the consumption of plant foods as the cause of disease. It is said that naturally occurring plant compounds cause disease in healthy people. Ex-carnivores Daniel and Emrys take a deep dive into this topic. Do the consumption of edible plants really cause disease, or are there other factors at play? Are plants being used as scapegoats to cover up for the harmful effects of far more insidious causes?

New Book Out Now - Can You Catch A Cold?

We are told that diseases like cancer have always been prevalent, and that the reason why cancer rates appear to be on the rise is because medicine is better at detecting it.

But is this really the case?

In 1995, a review was conducted assessing the diagnostic accuracy of cancer. The paper concluded that “The misdiagnosis rate has not really changed since even as far back as 1912. One would have expected a significant improvement in accuracy to have accompanied the introduction of various 'hi-tech' investigation modalities. This has not occurred. Has the precision of clinical diagnosis really come so far? Any argument which proposes that current performance levels and methods are adequate, or do not require assistance, rests on very shaky evidence”.

Given this revelation, how can anyone claim the increasing cancer prevalence is simply down to 'better detection methods'? Maybe the real reason cancer rates appear to be on the rise, is that they are.

Remember when we believed dietary cholesterol caused cardiovascular disease? Foods containing high levels like eggs, meat, and dairy were demonised. This myth was eventually dispelled when doctors and scientists realised the majority of the body’s cholesterol is produced by organs like the liver. Consequently, we no longer think dietary cholesterol is to blame.

Unbelievably, this same kind of defunct thinking is used when it comes to dietary oxalates. Many people blame plant derived oxalates as the cause of diseases like kidney stones and so-called ‘inflammatory conditions’. However, just like cholesterol, the overwhelming majority of oxalates are produced by organs like the liver.

Curiously, there's also a lack of clinical trials demonstrating a cause-and-effect relationship between oxalates and any disease, which is also the case with cholesterol.

The longer we continue to wrongfully attribute blame to an innocent compound, the longer the true culprit goes unrecognised.

Follow Humanley: t.iss.one/humanley

Why are we so quick to blame ‘oxalates’ as the cause of disease, when it could be humans meddling with the food supply?

Oxalate levels in plants can be affected directly by pesticides like thiocyclam hydrogen oxalate. This pesticide is absorbed systemically and distributed throughout plant tissue.

Other pesticides like glufosinate can impact the oxalate levels indirectly. Glufosinate, the most widely used herbicide, works by inhibiting plant enzymes which causes a build up of glycolate and glyoxylate. These compounds can be up to 900% higher than in plants not sprayed with glufosinate.

Most of the body’s glyoxylate pool is derived from the breakdown of body tissue, and animal protein. However, excessive levels can be toxic. To deal with this, the kidney converts glycolate and glyoxalate into to oxalate which is excreted in the urine.

So, is it really the naturally occurring oxalate in food that is the problem, or the relentless bombardment of crops with pesticides?

It's absurd how over-complicated nutrition has become. After 15 years in this profession, I have come to the conclusion that any and all attempts to try and understand how a specific food compound works inside the human body is an utterly futile exercise.

We don’t nourish our body with isolated and purified substances, we nourish it with whole food. There are thousands of compounds in food all working together in perfect concert with one another. This phenomenon is known as ‘food synergy’ or the ‘food matrix’, the intricacies of which, the field of nutrition will never truly comprehend.

Trying to understand how substance X works inside a living human being is one thing, but how does it work in the presence of Y, or Z, or the countless other compounds in food, many of which haven’t even been ‘discovered’ yet? Don’t be fooled by those who claim ‘this or that’ substance is the cause of all your health problems, because the truth is, no one knows. No one will ever know.

Real food doesn’t cause disease, so rather than being fixated on what’s in the things we eat, our attention should be focused on how we grow, harvest, store, transport, prepare, and consume it. We can only be as healthy as the soil our food is grown in. So, let’s stop raping, pillaging, and poisoning the Earth beneath our feet. How long can we continue blaming mother nature for a man-made problem before she bites back?

It’s time to get back to basics. Know where your food is coming from. Connect with local farmers who are doing things the right way. Eat what your ancestors ate. Eat locally, sustainably, seasonally, and fresh. Prepare your own food with time, care, and attention. Cook and enjoy meals with the people that you love. Consume mindfully and graciously. Eat the food that makes you happy.

Everything else is noise.
