The test sounds like a waste of money at this point, but I thought the article was well written. I was expecting the usual breathless "We Have A Miracle Cure" style of reporting, especially from a website calling itself "pro-health", as if all the other ones are "anti-health". What a pleasant surprise to find a story written by a knowledgable reporter who is willing to take a very close look at the claims made by the testing company.
I don't really understand terms like "pro-inflammatory" and "anti-inflammatory". They seem too vague and non-specific. I still think of inflammation in terms of observable signs, such as redness, swelling, and hot. But it seems the term is also used to indicate an immune system response, any kind of response, to any kind of perceived foreign substances. In my extemely limited understanding, there are always "invaders" of one kind or another for the immune system to attack. So there must be some level of immune response that is "normal", a response beyond "normal" is considered to be "inflammation", regardless of whether one can see red, swollen, and painful body parts?
