HAS YOUR DOCTOR TOLD YOU WHAT FIBRIN IS?

Let me start out by saying that I would never suggest that anyone stop their prescription meds. I do believe that we should understand where all this pain and inflammation is coming from and what we can do naturally to help reduce it.

Here’s what is happening in our bodies in easy to understand terms.

The immune system is not functioning properly, and therefore sends an excess of fibrin out intended to heal.

What is fibrin? Fibrin is your body’s first response to injury and pain.

It dictates how healthy and flexible every part of your body stays as you age. Lingering pain, loss of flexibility, and chronic inflammation can all be traced back to out of control fibrin levels.

Fibrin is an insoluble protein that acts as a first responder whenever your body is injured.

Shaped like long threads, each fibrin molecule interlaces to form a thin mesh around your wound.

This mesh is critical for trapping the platelets and red blood cells needed to form blood clots.

Without fibrin, even small wounds would just keep bleeding. Fibrin mesh is the base material for clots, scabs, scars, and eventual healthy skin.

When everything is in perfect working order, the fibrin rushed to the injured site is returned to your body as you heal.

After a few days of repairs, your system sends in a second clean-up crew of enzymes to dissolve the excess fibrin and leave your muscles, nerves, and blood vessels just as they were before you were hurt.

Unfortunately, most of our bodies aren’t in perfect working order. When we hurt, we take pills, and pain pills cancel the body’s signal for enzymatic clean-up crews. Fibrin keeps rushing to the scene, or in the case of RA, the confused immune system just keeps sending it.Over time, the fibrin molecules thicken and stiffen, forming scar tissue masses that can block blood vessels, interfere with muscle function, and lead to chronic inflammation.

As the scar tissue thickens, it reduces your range of motion and contributes to chronic pain.

Fortunately, it doesn’t take long to reverse fibrin overgrowth. The key is re-activating your body’s natural fibrin clean-up crew.  This crew is made of proteolytic enzymes, a group responsible for breaking down protein molecules.

They hit fibrin masses and literally eat them away. As an added bonus, proteolytic enzymes cleanse toxins from your blood, fight viruses, and fortify your immune system.

I hope this is of help to all of you wonderful people that are dealing with RA. My love and blessing to you all.
