"There is a yin and yang to inflammation that is analogous to using a fire hose. Too little water pressure in the hose and the fire - be it a germ or another intruder - wins. Too much and the body can turn on itself, drowning in autoimmunity. But sometimes the hose simply leaks and a low-level inflammation simmers quietly in the body."

I know nothing about inflammation, but anti-inflammatory foods are hot right now!

"Inflammation [...] is the immune system’s imprint, its concrete impression on our bodies and on the germs and other matter with which we interact."

I just read an entire chapter on pathogens, macrophages, phagocytes, T cells, B cells, antibodies, and neutrophils, and my head is spinning 😵‍💫
