Re: Re: ,please explain and give reference

, basically there are tons of responses happening in the body when it is "attacking" or "protecting" itself. Just like when you get a fever, they tell you to starve the fever because your body needs its energy to fight the infection. That's basically what is happening with an inflammatory response. I learned about the inflammation process in my NP classes, but I found this on the web that may explain it better, and I will look in my books tomorrow and give you more info. http://bioweb.wku.edu/courses/biol328/Inflammation.htm Thanks!

Hi ,Thanks for the link. Concerning the inflammation that we are all experiencing :<<If antigen is not cleared away and the inflammatory process continues------> Chronic inflammation occurs Chronic inflammation (characterized by low numbers of neutrophils, high numbers of T lymphocytes (espec. CD4+),

and macrophages) can lead to the build up of scar tissue, fibrosis, and granuloma formation. Over time, the resulting tissue damage can lead to organ failure.>>Would this lead to possible heart disease as with elevated C-Reactive Protein levels? If this is so, and I have hypothesised it before on this Group, we have every reason to want to get EN cured or at least find a treatment that eradicates the inflammation with fewer side effects. While EN is often dismised as a simple annoying rash, it may be killing us in ways we cannot see. Is that your take on it, ? I value your opinion as you are a nurse and have had medical training.Thanks so much for your input!Love,idio. EN '68. You can help Erythema Nodosum Research.

It absolutely could if the inflammation is in the heart. I did read something about that last night, I'll try to find the link. And, just for some hope, I have switched my specialty to women's health and integrative medicine. I plan on researching this as much as I can. Stay hopeful! Strecker wrote: Hi ,Thanks for the link.
