What's the best explainer for why chronic inflammation is bad? Not a paper that says that it correlates with (bad things) nor one that says why it happens, but just about the molecular mechanisms that lead from inflammation to damage.

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

If you have an infection, T1 #Inflammation will cause swelling and immune cells with (hopefully) clear the pathogen. Good response to the situation. Then T2 #Inflammation will (usually) cause cells in that tissue to divide and restore function. Good response.
