INFLAMMATION Dietary Solutions Counter Disease by Linda Sechrist

t’s important to note that wounds and infections would never heal without the presence of acute in- flammation, the body’s normal bio- logical response to harmful pathogens, damaged cells and irritants. Although this protective measure to initiate the body’s natural healing response is often misrepresented as being synonymous with infection, it is not; even when the inflammation is caused by infection. Dr. Vijay Jain, an expert in ay-


urvedic medicine, explains how the system normally works: “An infection brings about an acute inflammatory response and also summons the aid of immune system cells such as lympho- cytes—thymus cells (T cells), bursa- derived cells (B cells) and natural killer (NK) cells—as well as monocytes (a type of white blood cell). These then migrate through the bloodstream to eliminate specific pathogens or patho- gen-infected cells.” In contrast, chronic inflammation


occurs when the immune response stays activated, rather than naturally

abating, and the body’s defense system consequently turns against itself. Today, a number of leading physician scientists including Jain are drawing at- tention to an epidemic of cases of such chronic inflammation. With 35 years of experience in


general surgery and 15 years of focused study in integrative medicine, Jain bases his concern on extensive study and re- search. He currently serves as the medi- cal director of Amrit Ayurveda for Total Well Being, at the Amrit Yoga Institute, in Salt Springs, Florida. Floyd H. Chilton, Ph.D., author of Inflammation Nation, and professor of physiology and pharmacology at Wake Forest School of Medicine, in Winston- Salem, North Carolina, is on the same wavelength. Trained as a physician and specialist in infectious disease and in- flammation at Harvard Medical School, Chilton’s 20 years of research have likewise led him, along with pioneers like Dr. Andrew Weil, to conclude that chronic, systemic inflammation is the root cause of many diseases.
