[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean "my inflammation is way down"? Inflammation of what? How do you experience "inflammation"? I am not aware of what that feels like unless we're talking about a sprain or something. [/quote]

You may not be familiar with it but inflammation is actually the driver of many (most) chronic conditions. Chronic inflammation has been linked to many medical conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer,  depression and autoimmune disorders. In short, inflammation is the body’s defense system at work, but when it doesn’t turn off properly, it can become a driver of disease.

Yes, I know what the wellness influencers say. It's something bad, that you can't see/ perceive, but it's killing you and the only way to reverse it is with one simple trick, right?

Any actual scientists around who can shed some light on the health boogeyman du jour? [/quote]

DP but inflammation is not a gimmick and it's strange that you seem to think so.   https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/21660-inflammation

Many autoimmune diseases are, at core, just chronic inflammation.  Rheumatoid arthritis is one, but also psoriasis, MS, and Crohn's.  https://www.autoimmuneinstitute.org/articles/inflammation-a-driving-force-of-autoimmune-disease/[/quote]

DP. I have rheumatoid arthritis. Yes, it is a type of inflammation caused by an immune response, but PP is right. Every Instagram grifter is jumping on the inflammation bandwagon and blaming it for every malady. They're also pushing BS supplements and diet cures. No, I can't reverse my joint damage by quitting gluten.[/quote]

Who in this thread said that you could?  In this thread the two examples have been about [u]semaglutide[/u] helping reduce inflammation in patients suffering from RA and periodontal disease.  Not cutting gluten or buying a supplement from an Instagram ad.[/quote]

Exactly, so why does OP need to reduce "inflammation?" What is her chronic illness?[/quote]

I am not OP but I had inflammation diagnosed by my PCP when I had consistently high CRP and Sed Rate levels after a prolonged illness. [/quote]
