Re: Why is inflammation a dangerous necessity?
#2An open question would be wether the baseline inflammation level could be lowered if we implemented a periodic but rarer higher inflammatory level.
So a ~flatline vs a sinusoid. It could be pharmacologically simulated.

Hormesis and the hygiene hypothesis suggest that "working out" can be good for the immune system too. Unfortunately variolation has become a difficult topic.

I don't think doing exercise trigger an inflammatory (immune) response although I might be wrong. Either way your point stand regarding its paradoxical effect on oxidative stress.

Sounds like exercise or maybe a dry sauna would be a cost effective non pharmaceutical way, short term increase in inflammation that results in a long term decrease in inflammation. Same thing with injuries and fractures but that’s more unrelated.

#6Fun fact. Many autoimmune issues can be triggered / worsened by diet.
There is an auto immune protocol diet that is all about reducing inflammation.
Spend a few months on any of the support forms and you’ll see a pattern where people take years to be diagnosed. Most have a mystery illness for several years before it’s diagnosed.
Then they go through years of various medication options with mixed results. Eventually many end up going to diet as a solution.
Many of the various low sugar tend to be fairly close. So a lot of people dealing with autoimmune via diet without realizing it.

#7Ah, this wakes me up to the new The Joy of Why podcast. I was already following The Joy of X.

I was on the AIP diet for a while, quite a long time ago. It wasn't the end-all solution for me that others proclaimed it was, but it was nice to have something new to try.

The basal inflammation level is in fact in large part periodic due to the cortisol cycle.
