Reduce Inflammation for Better Health

Inflammation is the normal response of the body to injury and infection and a major component of healing. The redness, warmth, swelling and pain that characterize inflammatory reactions, such as that of a sprained ankle or a cut that is healing, all are evidence that the immune, circulatory and hormonal systems are at work to boost the body’s defenses and speed the repair of damaged tissue.
 
However, chronic, wide-spread inflammation throughout the body can cause myriad health problems. Like an unattended fire, chronic inflammation can slowly spread and lead to serious metabolic breakdown, with vast implications for long-term health.
 
Research into the effects of inflammation in the human body continues to find additional ways in which unchecked inflammation is at the root of many health problems. Research also continues to confirm that healthy foods, exercise and supplementation can alleviate many of the problems caused by rampant inflammation.
 
The May issue of ALTRUM News takes an in-depth look at inflammation, its impact in the human body and the supplements that research shows may help reduce and control inflammation.

USDA Quarantine Requires New Soil-Analysis Lab for California AGGRAND Customers

California AGGRAND customers are required to change soil-analysis laboratories because of a federal quarantine of California soil and plant materials.

The USDA implemented the quarantine to combat the spread of a highly contagious pathogen, Phytophthora ramorum, which causes sudden oak death (SOD). The quarantine means that soils/plant materials cannot travel out of the affected area. According to the USDA, a number of counties in California are infected. (http://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/plant_pest_info/pram/)

Midwest Laboratories, located in Nebraska, cannot accept or analyze soil samples from these quarantined California counties. AGGRAND recommends California customers use the highly respected, full-service Denele Analytical for soil and plant material analyses. (http://www.denelelabs.com/)

Since the early 1990s, oaks and tanoaks have been dying in the coastal counties of California. Since then, other types of plants have been found to be infected or associated with SOD, leaf blight or dieback. Phytophthora ramorum is the pathogen that causes these diseases. Sudden Oak Death was first reported in 1995 in Mill Valley (Marin County) on tanoak.

AGGRAND 2012 Vegetable Productivity Available


The 2012 Vegetable Productivity Study (G3111) summarizes the third year of activity in the AGGRAND Growth Plots. “With massive floods occurring in June, cold early season temperatures, and cut worms, 2012 proved to be another challenging growing year,” said AGGRAND Manager Richard Holappa. “The AGGRAND-fertilized plots continued to show higher yields over another competitive organic fertilizer.”
