Normal Inflammation Response

The COX-2 enzyme is naturally produced in our bodies as a result of trauma. It creates "inflammation" - not just the common inflammation many experience in their joints, but also inflammation throughout the body, even in the brain of an Alzheimer's sufferer. Scientists now have convincing evidence, from decades of research, that the unchecked activity of this enzyme is responsible for many forms of cancer (including colon, skin, bladder, esophagus, and pancreas), arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease.

Amazingly, this fundamental cause of many of our most threatening diseases was only discovered within the past few years, and drug companies immediately began the race to come up with pharmaceutical substances to inhibit the enzyme's devastating effects. In this quest, the scientists tried to find plant compounds and herbs to synthetically copy or mimic, and they identified many traditional herbs that contain natural and safe COX-2 inhibitors.

Many of the herbs in this category are culinary and unknowingly many cultures around the world have obtained healing benefits from these botanicals for thousands of years.

One other product that is not recognized as a COX 2 inhibitor but provides nutritional support for inflammation is Evening Primrose Oil.
