The Truth About Inflammation
Inflammation is a term you’ve probably heard a lot. “You’re inflamed,” a practitioner might say when you share you have joint pain, a rash, or strange pains. Or, “There’s inflammation in there,” a doctor may remark after reviewing MRI results. But inflammation is really a “lazy term” because inflammation only results from a deeper problem. Inflammation isn’t an answer—it’s an indicator that something else is going on in the body.
The Two Reasons for Inflammation
Inflammation never develops on its own, and it only emerges for two reasons. In the human body—where hundreds of millions of undiscovered chemical functions and chemical reactions are taking place per cubic inch—it might be surprising to learn that there are only two reasons behind inflammation. Medical communities are completely unaware of this fact.
The first reason is from a physical injury. Any damage to the body, whether it’s external or internal, may give rise to inflammation. Physicians are aware of this type of inflammation. But most providers aren’t aware of the second type of inflammation, which surfaces when there’s an invader—that is, any type of pathogen—in the body.
Injury
Have you ever sustained a sports- or exercise-related injury? In this instance, inflammation related to that injury likely emerged. This type of inflammation can also result from things like having dental work done, accidentally cutting yourself, slipping on ice, a sprained ankle, or a burn.
Invaders
There are hundreds of invaders that can stir up inflammation issues, including rashes, body aches, pains, and much more. How someone recovers from a knee replacement surgery is one example of how pathogens can create inflammation and impact the body’s ability to heal. Someone may have knee replacement surgery, recover quickly, and find him or herself walking soon after without issue. In this instance, the person likely didn’t have invaders triggering inflammation issues around the area where the surgery took place. However, if you have knee replacement surgery and the knee doesn’t seem to be calming down or healing properly, it’s likely an invader creating issues. This invader and the chronic inflammation it can provoke may have even been part of the reason the knee joint wore out initially. When it comes to knee and hip replacements, a slow, extended recovery is often partly related to the Epstein-Barr virus.
The Role of Heavy Metals
Like the foods you choose to eat, heavy metals in the system don’t technically cause inflammation. However, heavy metals are a preferred food for the invaders in the body that cause inflammation and other issues. For this reason, it’s vital to safely remove heavy metals from the body.

Healing from Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Soulcare Perspective
Doctors often treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with prescription anti-inflammatories and immunosuppressants. While this may offer temporary relief, it does not address the root cause—the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV).
These medications suppress the immune system, making it passive and unable to respond to the virus. In doing so, they may unintentionally allow EBV to thrive, deepening inflammation and prolonging pain.
The Deeper Truth
RA is not your body attacking itself. It is your body fighting to contain a viral invader. The inflammation is a protective response—evidence of your immune system doing its job.
To truly heal, we must:
- Support the immune system, not suppress it
- Remove the virus’s fuel (heavy metals like mercury)
- Use natural anti-inflammatories that calm pain without weakening immunity
Rheumatoid & Psoriatic Arthritis: The Healing Truth
Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PA)?
You may have been told that the cause is a mystery—or worse, that your body is attacking itself. The truth is very different: there is a real cause behind these illnesses, one that medical science has not yet recognized. Once you understand the root issue, true healing can begin.
❌ The Autoimmune Theory
Most patients are told that RA and PA are caused by an antibody that attacks the joints. This theory has never been proven, yet it has become the foundation of modern treatment. When the antibody was first discovered, its function was unknown—and it still is. Despite this, entire treatment protocols have been built on the assumption that the body is turning against itself.
This has left millions still suffering with swelling, stiffness, and pain, because the real cause has not been addressed.
✅ The Truth About the Antibody
The antibody is not the enemy. It is not attacking your body—it is protecting it. Antibodies are created to defend you against outside intruders such as viruses and toxins. They are proof that your body is fighting for you, not against you.
The Real Cause of RA & PA
We live in a virus culture. Pathogens are behind many of today’s so-called “autoimmune” conditions. One virus in particular—the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)—is at the root of rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis.
- Psoriatic Arthritis (PA): EBV feeds on toxic copper stored in the liver. This strengthens the virus, which then attacks joints and tissues. It also produces an internal dermatoxin that surfaces as rashes (psoriasis or eczema), along with pain and inflammation.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): A different variety of EBV thrives on mercury. In its later stage, it burrows into connective tissue, joints, and ligaments, triggering inflammation as the body tries to contain it. This leads to swelling in the knuckles, spine, and other joints—often misinterpreted as the body “attacking itself.”
⚠️ Sources of Toxic Metals
- Old copper pipes or cookware
- Pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and rodenticides
- New fabrics and linens treated with fungicides
- Mercury exposure from food (e.g., tuna), pesticides, and environment
These metals act as fuel for EBV, making symptoms worse.
The First Step Toward Healing
The most important truth to embrace: your body is not attacking itself. Believing the autoimmune theory weakens your healing journey. Knowing that your body is fighting a virus empowers your immune system to focus, strengthen, and protect you.
✨ How to Heal
While medical research has not yet recognized this, the path to healing RA and PA involves:
- Detoxifying heavy metals
- Antiviral support
- Nutritional healing
- Restoring joint and tissue health
- Ceremonial and emotional support to calm the nervous system and restore balance
Soulcare Healing Perspective
Your body is not broken. It is not betraying you. It is fighting for you every single day. By removing the virus’s fuel and supporting your immune system, you can reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and reclaim your vitality.
