I came across a report today that underscores how unfortunate it is that our "experts" are so "specialized." If these people had a wider knowledge base, they'd realize that "chronic inflammation" is not a problem with Mead acid in your cells, and there would be no need to spend huge amounts of money on something that might never work in practice, when all that's needed is to tell people to avoid certain kinds of food, food preparation methods, and/or food combinations:
QUOTE: ...the absence of a single protein, called "ROCK1," profoundly reduces inflammation in the walls of blood vessels provoked by fatty deposits (atherosclerosis). In this study, scientists found that ROCK1 is necessary for immune cells, called macrophages, to "clean up" vascular walls when they come into contact with fatty deposits. Inflammation is a normal byproduct of the clean-up process and, when it goes unchecked, leads to clogging and hardening of the arteries.
When ROCK1 is absent, macrophages no longer contributed to these fatty deposits and mice showed significantly less inflammation and atherosclerosis. This discovery could lead to new treatments, such as ROCK1 inhibitors, that could dampen the inflammatory response to fatty deposits and slow the progression of atherosclerosis, and in so doing, reduce the incidence of heart attacks and strokes... UNQUOTE.
