I don't think inflammation gets turned on in the absence of infection. But that would involve a whole long discussion of many days and nights :). In brief, I'm sure you know the research on antibiotics, even just a few weeks, lessening risk of 2nd heart attacks? Any thoughts as to why? You know Paul Ewald's work? I believe most chronic inflammation is an ongoing inflammatory response to chronic infection. That's certainly true of inflammatory bowel disease...and rheumatoid arthritis etc... Thus they're trying to interrupt the inflammatory cascade way downriver...they should try to eliminate the infection. The only anti inflammatory drug I personally like is aspirin--the oldest, and imo, safest and best.
