Inflammation
What is Inflammation?
Inflammation is the body’s White Blood Cells protecting you from foreign invaders. Common ones are Bacteria and Viruses. Other causes include, but are not limited to Infection, Injury, Arthritis and Joint Pain, Asthma, Obesity, Diabetes, Colitis, Chrone’s Disease, Breast, and Lung Cancer, Cardiovascular (Heart) Disease, and Psoriasis.
There are two types of Inflammation, Acute and Chronic. Acute inflammation usually lasts a few hours or days. Whereas Chronic Inflammation can last for months or even years. My ex-wife said that when she started nursing school, they taught her that all Diseases were caused by Inflammation, and if you look up the symptoms of so many Diseases, they have Inflammation in common.
Harvard Medical school reports that chronic low-grade Inflammation can actually be a contributing factor in Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, type 2 Diabetes and numerous others. In fact, they report that three out of five people in the world die from a Disease linked to Inflammation.
How to treat Inflammation?
Well, you could try Big Pharma, and all those nasty Side Effects, or as we like to say ”Body Rejection Effects.” Let’s take Op**tes for example.
With Op**tes, the Rain Relief is masked so you don’t feel it, but it does nothing to treat the cause or source of the Pain which is Inflammation. Many people have told me that they get ”Dope Sick” or unable to function normally when they use Op**tes for Pain relief. They get the Pain relief, but it comes at a cost. When it wears off, the Pain starts to return. Then in many cases, it takes more to get the same Pain relief, and if one is not careful, they can be Addicted before they know it and then they must go into Rehab or in many cases progress to He**in off the street. Some abusers of He**in started off with a legal prescription for Pain relief from a Doctor for a legal prescription. This is called Addiction and is a serious Disease so it must be treated as such and only by a Trained Medical Professional and without shame! Addiction is a Disease and should be treated as such.
What caused the Op**te Crises?
One Pain Relief Doctor we went to just before the Op**te crises wrote her a prescription for 540 Norco’s with two refills for a total of 1,620 pills all together. With her being a Registered Nurse and a Certified Drug and Alcoholism Therapist. She was used to getting people off of Op**tes and other drugs, so she knew about their potential for abuse, but not everyone else did. She said back then that if it was an Op**te, it was still Addicting. Time proved her right. It took her a year to go through one scrip, the other two went unfilled because Terpenes and Cannabinoids were just starting to do the ”Heavy Lifting” for her Pain Relief by relieving her Inflammation at the source and not masking it. The last two prescriptions went unfilled, but this could have been over 1,000 pills being diverted to the street but wasn’t. This was the just the mind set back then, was to use Op**tes generously to help deal with Pain issues without the thought of any Addiction problems. Doctors were misled as to the danger of these new Op**tes by the Phamaceutical companies. In fact, the drug companies were running false and misleading ads saying that their new Op**tes were completely non-addicting and safe… BS!! We know that to be untrue now don’t we. What a mess we have now!
What are Terpenes, and how do they help?
Have you ever smelled a flower? Then you have smelled Terpenes. The Terpene profile of Cannabis and H**p determine their distinct flavor, aroma and effect, and the effects are numerous! It’s often referred to as the ”Entourage Effect”. They’re also known as Aromatic Compounds.
Terpenes are known to exist in over 30,000 Plants, Fruits and Vegetables and have been here for thousands of years, or as we say, ” As Nature Intended”. Have you ever heard of Traditional Chinese Medicine? Well, it’s the Terpenes in the Plant or Herbs they’re using to cause the healing effect. Some of the more common Terpenes include Alpha and Beta-pinene, Beta-Caryophyllene, or BCP, Camphor, Camphene, Citral, Gamma Terpinene, Geraniol, Delta 3-Carene, Eucalyptol, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool, Myrcene, Nerolidol, Paracymene, Pulegone, Terpineol, and Terpinolene.
Op**tes? How do Op**tes work?
Op**tes work by masking the Pain but doing nothing for the cause of it. People have reported to me that the way Op**tes worked for them was that they would be in Pain and take an Op**te for Relief. When the Pain Relief kicks in, so does the Dope Sickness or feeling stoned. Again, this is where Op**tes can get dangerous and where they often get abused. This is when Addiction kicks in and must be treated as a Disease and be cared for by a Medical Professional. In many cases, He**in Addiction first started out with a Doctor’s Prescription for Op**tes for Pain relief. Terpenes on the other hand?
What are Terpenes, and what can they do?
Terpenes are referred to as Aromatic Compounds and are responsible for each Cannabis or H**p Strain having different smells and different effects. All strains are different, and every Terpene profile has different effects. Ever smell a flower? That’s the Terpenes you’re smelling. When people usually buy Cannabis or H**p Flower, the first thing they do before buying is to smell it first. What they are doing is smelling the Terpene profile of the plant.
Whatever ails you, you should check out the Terpene Profile and see if it treats any of your conditions. Some Terpenes are sedative in nature, while some will boost your energy, and most are Anti-Inflammatory helping to deal with Pain issues.
Inflammation? Most of the Terpenes we use here at Vital Terpenes Therapeutics, first and foremost are Anti-Inflammation. Inflammation is the body’s natural way of dealing with many issues including Pain and many Diseases. Your body detects something is wrong and sends out Inflammation to do its job. The problem is from too much Inflammation which happens when the body sends out an amount in excess of what’s needed. It can attack both the body and organs, and also lead to organ failure or even death.
This is how we started out here at Vital Terpenes Therapeutics. We started out by attacking Inflammation for my ex-wife’s Brain Injuries, but further research showed the fuel for Inflammation is called Cytokines, so I also went after the Cytokines as well using Terpenes. Deal with the Cytokines, and deal with the source of the Inflammation at the same time, the fuel for the Pain. Many people right now are dying not from Covid, but from the Cytokine Storm it produces.
Speaking of a Cytokine Storm, if you have noticed that since Covid, things have changed. Forever they have called a change in a virus a Mutation, now it’s called a variant. It’s still the same! Since Covid, the term Cytokine Storm has been changed to ”Cytokine Release Syndrome”. Doesn’t that sound less threating? Guess what? It’s not!
Memory and Focus? Brain fog? There are so many Terpenes that can help with these issues, and they’re very common in our soft gel. Another way to protect the Brain is by using Terpenes that act as a Neuroprotectant, several of them. Respiratory and Breathing issues? Some act as Bronchodilators and help Respiratory Inflammation while helping to remove excess fluids, and helping one to breath better, but also helping you to build bone mass as a side effect. By doing that, you are helping with Pulmonary Inflammation and more. You have many that act as Natural but efficient Anti-Bacterial agents, helping to take the strain off of Antibiotics. Cancer anyone? There are so many kinds of Cancer that it helps with, I can’t list them all here as they way too numerous. One Terpene alone helps with 11 kinds of Cancer! What I can list is how Terpenes perform their Magic with Cancer. Most of what I write here I have confirmed with the National Institute of Health. Among the many ways it fights Cancer is inducing Apoptosis or Programmed Cell Death, Inhibiting the Growth and Spread of Malignant Cells, and slowing down the spread and can downregulate Cancer from developing itself, plus there are numerous Terpenes out there that have shown great work with Breast Cancer, and they’re in numerous Terpenes no less!
The Point
The point I’m trying to make here is that yes, Terpenes are for Inflammation control and thereby reducing ones Pain, but that’s only the beginning for these versatile Terpenes.
So, you see when one asks what Terpenes can do for you, it depends on the Terpene Profile and what is required. The Profile can be Manipulated according to what one needs, kind of like a Compounding Pharmacist does. My Anti-Inflammation Soft Gels and Capsules are geared towards Inflammation and the Pain caused by it, but it also helps with dozens of other conditions. These are what we call ”Beneficial Side Effects”. Big Pharma does not have side effects, but really ”Body Rejection Effects” as we say. Those effects are caused by the body helping with a single thing maybe and sometimes causing dozens of ”Body Rejection Effects”. Ask your body if you put some of these medicines in you, and you get worse, not better, then what? Back to the drawing board with your Doctor again? That’s why we call them ”Body Rejection Effects”, and not Side Effects which Terpenes have are known for and not Body Rejection Effects. What are some of the Body Rejection Effects of some of the Pharma Drugs? Some have dozens, including thoughts of Su***de and Death, really? And they let that product on the market knowing that it causes thoughts of Su***de and Death??? Who’s in charge here??
Commonality
I always look at a Terpene to see its Anti-Inflammation capabilities, and its ability to help with Neuro-Inflammation, or Inflammation of the Brain. Some of the ”Beneficial Side Effects” of using the Anti-Inflammation Terpenes is that sometimes, usually most times, they have dozens of other conditions they help with including Pain, which is treated with the Anti-Inflammation Terpene Soft Gel and according to the National Institute of Health, some of those same Terpenes can have a positive effect on your Immune System and Cancer in more ways than one. Terpenes can, and research has confirmed that there are probably hundreds of issues they can help with and so far, and the side effects have been the same, ”Turp Burps” or the smell of flowers on your breath.
Terpenes on the other hand
Are not chemicals but 100% Plant-Based Terpenes, or as we say, ”As Nature Intended”. What I like about them is not only their lack of Side Effects, but the number of Beneficial Side Effects that can be of a great surprise for many. Terpenes have proven themselves over thousands of years. That’s how long the Chinese have been using them in the form of Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM with great results. Remember, it’s the Terpenes in the Herbs that create the healing effect.
All of our Soft Gels are the results of thousands of hours of research, and it goes into every new Soft Gel that we make for you. Our promise is to never stop researching and improving our products for you to enhance your life and make it more comfortable for you to enjoy. We want to give you your life back! It’s time, isn’t it?
