註釋Inflammation is a word we hear all the time - 'Your throat is inflamed,' 'You have some inflammation around the knee,' 'You have an inflamed ear'. Most of us think of it as a symptom associated with an infection, irritation, or injury. Dr. Nancy Appleton, however, has discovered that it might be more than just a simple reaction to a health disorder. When the body's tissues are disturbed in some manner, a series of complex reactions takes place: the affected area draws fluid to itself, swells, heats up, and generates liquid by-products. In other words, it becomes inflamed. In most cases, when the disorder stops, the tissue returns to its normal healthy state. Sometimes, though, the tissue remains chronically inflamed. Dr. Appleton's early research demonstrated that this chronic condition might be more harmful than ever suspected. Soon, she began to ask questions: What if inflammation was at the heart of various degenerative diseases? What health benefits could be gained if we could stop inflammation? Stopping Inflammation is the result of Dr. Appleton's ten-year quest to answer these important questions. Drawing on the latest medical research, the book begins with a full explanation of inflammation. It then looks at its many causes, from food allergies to environmental factors to psychological stress. Next, it focuses on the various health disorders that afflict modern society - obesity, addiction, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, bowel disorders, and so many more - and explains the role that inflammation plays in each of these diseases. The book then provides a number of fresh non-drug treatments aimed not at controlling the problem, but at removing its cause.
