This week it's all about inflammation and pain. Inflammation and pain relate to each other. Pain only comes when there is inflammation. If we are able to tackle the inflammation and suppress that what causes the inflammation, do we have control? Mostly we choose a pill, medicine, or we go to somebody and "I got your pain," lament, etc. Because we don't know actually what to do against it, or how to take away the cause of the pain signal. But now we know. We have seen in the studies we did that we are able to suppress the inflammatory markers which is causing the inflammation, which is causing the pain, within a quarter of an hour. Boom! Down. You in control. Use your mind and the breathing.
