The Weakened Cortisol Pulse
We saw on the previous page how the body works to remove inflammation, and that short term inflammation is beneficial to the body's immune system.

Figure 4 - Inflammation strikes with its classic symptoms - heat, redness, swellling, and pain.

Figure 5 - However, in some people, the cortisone 'pulse' is weakened. The adrenal glands don't produce enough of a cortisol spike in the blood to completely quench the inflammation.

Figure 6 - New sources of inflammation begin and flourish. In these cases, the inflammation grows and becomes powerful, long-term and destructive. Arthritis or another auto-immune disease develops. They all hurt, and they take your life away from you. At this point, you are in a raging forest fire of inflammation. There is little relief from all the pain, stiffness and fatigue, and slowly, you begin to lose hope.
