Today, we are all on fire and the effects are staggering. Autoimmune conditions, asthma, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and more are all inflammatory diseases. I’m joined by Drs. David Perlmutter and Austin Perlmutter this week on The Doctor’s Farmacy and we discuss the effects inflammation can have on the brain such as depression, dementia, autism, Alzheimer’s and more. Most psychological and neurological problems are fire in the brain. Cooling the fires of inflammation actually isn’t as hard as it sounds once you know how to do it. In fact, it’s staggeringly simple. You just have to eliminate the bad stuff and add the good stuff.
