Today, we heard from our own Dr. Tim Burner discussing the traditional approach to dealing with tissue inflammation. Tissue inflammation is the result of irritants or toxins entering our body, resulting in a reaction from our own defense system. This reaction is called inflammation and often leads to more serious problems like strokes, heart attacks and cancer.

The best way of dealing with inflammation is to restrict or eliminate the toxins entering our bodies. Smoking is the most obvious toxin, but there are others as well. Tim stressed the importance of practicing moderation in our eating and drinking habits, and exercising regularly. Tim also emphasized that Vitamin supplements are unnecessary and a waste of money if we eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and proteins. He also emphasized the importance of timely vaccinations and shots.

Steve Suhler received his blue badge today, so is a full-fledged WRC member now. We miss our Songmeister Jeff, so started the meeting with a multi-pitch version of “Take me out to the ballpark”. We do have fun!
