05- Chronic Inflammation and Healing Dr. Eric Gordon: Cures, Remedies and Beyond

Chronic Inflammation and Healing with Dr. Eric Gordon,

Chronic inflammation is often referred to as a "silent killer," mainly because it has been found to play a role in almost every chronic disease, affecting approximately 133 million Americans, or more than 40% of the total population of the United States. More than 50% of all deaths worldwide are attributed to chronic inflammatory diseases, ranging from cardiovascular disorders to diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Lyme disease, autoimmune diseases, and many other illnesses. Our guest is an internationally recognized expert in the treatment of complex chronic illness, with over 40 years of clinical experience, and the founder of the Gordon Medical Research Center in the San Francisco Bay Area – Dr. Eric Gordon.

Dr. Gordon co-authored a groundbreaking study titled "Metabolic Features of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." He explains: Have you been sick for an extended period, and you can't seem to get better no matter what you do? In fact, your symptoms are progressively worsening. When everything is healthy, mitochondria (small organelles responsible for energy production inside our cells) are in energy mode. If your cells sense a threat, they can switch from energy production to defense mode, leaking ATP into the bloodstream to signal an immune response. This is known as the Cell Danger Response (CDR). This explains why when you become acutely ill with a virus or infection, you feel fatigued, as your ATP and mitochondria are focused on immune tasks rather than energy production. If this scenario sounds familiar, your healing process may be "stuck" in the Cell Danger Response (CDR) mode, with a “failure to communicate”. If this cellular dysfunction is left unaddressed, it leads to uncontrolled inflammation, various debilitating symptoms, and even complex chronic illnesses. These biochemical shifts occur in an attempt to protect the body, but in reality, they become harmful if prolonged. Ideally, our cells should not be in defense mode constantly. This is a major reason why many individuals with chronic illnesses suffer from mitochondrial dysfunction, profound fatigue, and poor wound healing: cells trapped in the Cell Danger Response are not completing the healing cycle. But there is hope. You can exit the CDR and truly heal. What are the signals the brain needs to exit the healing cycle (aka the cell danger response) and return to the health cycle? To learn more, please join our discussion on this vital topic with one of the veterans in the field of chronic complex illnesses, Dr. Eric Gordon.
