Excess of inflammation is the key ingredient in many nasty diseases
I think inflammation may be a response to, rather than a cause of damage. If this is the case than suppressing inflammation would likely do little to help the situation.
And if inflammation is the body’s response to repair damage suppressing it may actually be harmful.

Contrary to what Kendrick suggests, there is overwhelming evidence that your immune system can malfunction and cause harm.
Whether it has anything to do with cardiovascular health… I have no idea. I honestly don’t have a clue as to what causes heart attacks and strokes.

Just dropping a comment to say thank you for these research roundups.
One of the reasons I subscribe to your feed is for these absolutely essential weekly links posts. I don’t fish in those ponds so I enjoy your personal selection of what is noteworthy and worthy of comment.

No doubt, but Kendrick does mention this in his article:
Medically they are used in a number of auto-immune/inflammatory
conditions, ranging from rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis,
eczema, lupus, transplant organ rejection and suchlike [Asthma is a
bit different].
In these conditions, there is a rationale for reducing inflammation.
Here, we have the body ‘seeing’ various proteins as alien, and
attacking them, through an ‘auto-immune’ response. Yes, there is
inflammation. However, this is not the body trying to repair itself.
This is the immune system causing damage, by attacking the body
itself, with resulting inflammation. In short, do not confuse
inflammation with inflammation.
I think inflammation is perhaps like fire trucks trying to put out fires. You’ll firetrucks wherever there are fires, but that doesn’t mean they are the cause of the fires. I could be wrong of course, but that is my impression.

Excess firetruck would be the scenario where firetrucks get out of control and start spraying a whole neighbourhood because they are convinced that this the only way to save the neighbourhood. It does not mean that there wasn’t an initial fire to put out… but maybe it was just a small kitchen fire that required not firetruck at all.
for the 3rd link, i think i should add some comments as a chinese.
of course many and many chinese move to cities in the past serveral decades, and it used to be single direction, but now there’re small groups of chinese move for the opposite direction including me. and as i knew, many of them has technology background like me.
“My current take on virtual reality is that we are not primarily limited by the quality of the hardware, but rather by the lack of great software. “
In other words an USEFUL application a.k.a. a killer app.

According to Dr Malcolm Kendrick, anti-inflammatory medicines like corticosteroids and NSAIDs actually increase the risk of heart attacks.
