Just got a notice regarding an on-line training titled "An Anti-inflammatory Lifestyle" from the Institute for Brain Potential (cost $79.00 US). I have attended a similar training from this organization and it was quite good. Given how many of us have to deal with inflammation, thought it might be of interest. Would be a productive way to spend time while distancing/isolating.
There are a number of good trainings available here. Geared to professionals who need CEUs, but many are highly relevant and helpful. Have had good experience with a number of trainings here.
All of the best to all of you.

Interesting to ponder what inflammatory cytokines we can target/reduce via diet and whether this in away reduces our risk of ‘cytokine storm’.
My very limited understanding is that the inflammatory mediators of interest re Covid include the proinflammatory cytokines IL-2, IL-1B, IL-6, TNF-alpha, IFN-y, acute phase protein CRP (C-reactive protein), eicosanoids PGE2 (prostaglandin E2), and LTB4 (leukotriene B4),
IL-6 can be reduced by exercise but any particular foods that target these mediators?
The impact of diet on inflammatory cytokines is I expect rather diffuse and difficult to measure. I hade contact with Dr. Angela Fleishman as part of the Familial MPNs study. her group is looking specifically at CRP and TNF alpha as relevant to MPNs and potential markers for monitoring interventions. This is in research and not clinical practice at this point.
I am working with an Integrative Medicine specialist and using some supplements to see if I can moderate the systemic inflammation I experience. She already ran a CRP (which was WNL) and TF Growth Factor Bet(Which was elevated). We are looking into doing a cytokine panel that includes TNF-alpha and several interleukins. While I am willing to try some complimentary health approaches, I would like to see some objective markers of effectiveness. While I would be delighted if any of this reduced hematopoiesis, I am not really expecting it; however, I have had success with other inflammation related symptoms like osteoarthritis. Hopefully I will find greater success with some additional interventions.
Regarding the risk of a cytokine storm with COVID 19, that does appear to be a significant risk. It is devastating peoples lungs. We do not know yet whether those of with dysregulated kinase systems/elevated cytokines will be at any greater risk. Theoretically, we could be, but nobody knows at this point.
My KISS approach to all this id that too many cytokines are BAD. Normalized cytokine levels are GOOD. Interventions that reduce our cytokine levels with minimal risk are VERY GOOD; however, anything that is biologically active enough to help us can also hurt us.
This sounds excellent. I’ve been watching, listening to and studying almost all of the points on the list of the inflammatory lifestyle and have also heard Dr. Fisher in interviews.
For 2.5 years, I’ve been following a disciplined, antiinflammatory lifestyle and the changes in my health, life and that of my family and all friends who followed my changes, have been phenomenal. No one can tell that I have blood cancer. I look and feel better that 15 years ago. My allergies, depression, anger issues, bloating, intolerances and much more are a thing of the past.
To seriously take a look at this would be advisable to all. If some can not afford this or would like to dig in even deeper and more concentrated on certain topics (cancer, depression, anxiety, SIBO/IBS, autism, vaccines, cannabis, autoimmune diseases, gut health, etc.) one can subscribe to the GreenMedInfo newsletter. This contains 100,000+ serious, proven, peer-reviewed studies and endless info about nutrition, natural remedies, etc.
The eBook offered for free upon opening the page. Is worth gold. There are super topics that are sent every few days and all the info one needs regarding free summits, documentaries and webinars On all the above topics. I highly recommend this. It’s a true journey and most of us have a lot of time on our hands, therefore there’s ample time to listen, research and think about ourselves and our health.

Has anyone tried alternate anti-inflammatory agents for MPNs?
