Inflammation - an immune response
Inflammation is an immune response; a response to an infection, an irritation, or an injury. Immune cells are called to the site through the blood stream. The blood vessels near the site become more permeable and the site becomes warm and red due to the increased blood flow, otherwise known as inflamed or as a state of inflammation.
Neutrophils and macrophages engulf microorganisms, and phagocytes are called in. Some immune cells try to “eat” the invaders; others excrete hydrogen peroxide (and other oxidative chemicals) trying to kill them so they can be cleaned up by the phagocytes.
Inflammation is a part of the body’s natural defense system against injury and disease.
Persistent Inflammation - the root of many diseases
Chronic inflammation, on the other hand, is a disease. Instead of protecting the organism (our bodies) it starts to kill the organism, slowly but surely. Many scholarly articles connect this persistent state of inflammation with chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, Lyme, Fibromyalgia and other degenerative states.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines are the part of our immune systems that attack and kill cells with oxidative chemicals. If they do not stop their attacks, they will start killing cells our bodies need. The inflammation in a joint can eat away at our cartilage and you’ve got a serious case of arthritis. Unchecked inflammation in an organ, say the pancreas, can cause diabetes. The elderly are especially vulnerable to this sort of unchecked inflammation since the body looses the ability to “down-regulate” inflammation with age.
Our success in healing patients is tied directly to our ability to recognize persistent inflammation in its many forms, test for inflammatory markers (including hypercoagulation), and develop treatment protocols to modulate this exaggerated immune response.
