The Silent Epidemic: How Low-Grade Inflammation Is Driving Modern Diseases -
Inflammation is one of the most misunderstood processes in the human body. For decades, inflammation has been portrayed as something negative—something to suppress, eliminate, or fear. Yet inflammation itself is not the problem. In fact, it is essential for survival. Without inflammation, wounds would not heal, infections would spread unchecked, and the immune system would fail to protect us.
