related -- i know nothing about this but -- why the hell would you use "anti-inflammatory drugs"? isn't inflammation a response to a disease/bacteria/etc? why are you trying to interfere with the organism fighting back?

your FAQ says that inflammation itself is bad but in all cases you give inflammation is a reaction to something that might be harmful and to me it seems like likely net positive Is there any evidence that inflammation just appears (maybe disregulation?) and damages the organism?pic.twitter.com/l8r2pDMlWS
