Inflammation has become one of the most feared words in modern health.We're told it is silent, dangerous, and responsible for almost everything that goes wrong in the body. We're urged to fight it, eliminate it, and fear it - often without ever being given a clear explanation of what inflammation actually is.This book exists to change that.Inflammation: What It Is, What It Isn't - and Why We've Been So Confused is a calm, explanatory guide for readers overwhelmed by conflicting health messages and alarmist advice.Rather than presenting inflammation as an enemy, this book explains it as a normal, protective biological process - one that becomes problematic not because it exists, but because modern life often prevents it from resolving properly.Inside, you'll explore: What inflammation really is - and why it existsThe crucial difference between acute and chronic inflammationWhy inflammation is often a signal of load, stress, or adaptation - not failureHow fear-based health messaging has distorted our understandingThe roles of stress, illness, ageing, and recoveryWhy no single food causes - or cures - inflammationWhat genuinely supports the body's ability to resolve inflammation over timeThis is not: an anti-inflammatory dieta supplement guidea protocol or cure narrativeIt does not offer rules, targets, or extremes.Instead, it offers understanding.Written in a steady, non-alarmist voice, this book is designed to sit alongside medical care and help readers rebuild trust in their bodies - particularly those living with chronic illness, long-term stress, fatigue, or health anxiety.Inflammation does not need to be defeated.It needs to be understood.And understanding, quietly and steadily, is often enough.
