“TSH levels were significantly lower in ASD boys, whereas IL-8 levels were significantly elevated. The diagnostic accuracy for ASD based upon TSH or IL-8 levels alone varied from 74 to 76%, but using both proteins together, the diagnostic accuracy increased to 82%.”

“The NLRP3 inflammasome, in particular, triggers the release of the proinflammatory proteins interleukin (IL)-1 beta and IL-18 and drives pyroptosis, a form of cell death that is triggered by proinflammatory signals and closely linked with inflammation.”

“Women are less often affected (3–9% of women over age 30 are estimated to have sleep apnea), but risk still climbs with weight gain. In fact, a 10% increase in weight gain is associated with a 6-fold increase in the risk of developing sleep-disordered breathing.”

“They found that vitamin D inhibited hyperglycemia-induced NLRP3 activation and IL-1 beta production, leading to lower levels of inflammation. Further investigation revealed that vitamin D upregulated AMPK production in the cells, which likely contributed to the reduction of inflammation.”

“A critical element of Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis is neuroinflammation. Previous research has shown that BCG vaccination triggers an immune response that increases systemic IL-2 levels which, in turn, increases the population of neuroprotective T-reg cells.”

“Over-activation of Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells can lead to immune disorders, such as inflammatory bowel diseases, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Conversely, Treg cells produce IL‐10, an anti-inflammatory protein, to reduce inflammation and impair disease progression.”

“Lifestyle behaviors may reduce inflammation and the need for NSAIDs. For example, sauna use reduces levels of pro-inflammatory C-reactive protein and increases levels of anti-inflammatory protein interleukin (IL)-10.”

“The effects of heat exposure are broad and include improved immunity, better cardiovascular health, improved mood, and extended healthspan, the number of years we live in good health. Rhonda shares her personal sauna bathing routine and briefly describes special considerations for children and other special groups.”

“Periods of fasting have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. In this clip, Dr. Charles Raison describes strategies that have evolved to offset the risks associated with eating, such as inflammation and the antibiotic effects of hyperthermia.”

Dr. Ruth Patterson discusses the role of fasting in the prevention and survivorship of breast cancer.
