No Joke!
What do almost all chronic diseases have in common? Inflammation! Cancer, Lupus, Crohns, Multiple Sclerosis, Heart trouble,
Alzheimers - or any disease that ends in the suffix "-itis".
Result? Stop the inflammation and you stand a good chance of stopping the disease. This is the conclusion of a growing number of
medical authorities - although, it is unlikely to get much favorable press in an industry dominated by drug companies and others
whose income is threatened by such a conclusion.
The above is not just idle theory. In my own household, I've witnessed the decline - or outright disappearance of various chronic conditions
that the M.D.'s couldn't do much of anything about. My IBS vanished over a period of months after I adopted a diet that included
large amounts of fish oil, flax seed and meditation - which all work against an inflammatory response.

and even a patent on an anti inflammatory "food"

Barry Sears book on anti inflammatory diet is a good start. Be prepared to give up a lot of sugar and fat - and learn to love fish oil,
curcumin, rosemary, ginger and olive oil.
Even drugs like asprin or statin drugs ( Zocor, Lipitor, etc) may get their beneficial effect on coronary problems by their action in reducing
inflammation within arteries.
I'm frequently amazed at the simple treatments that get buried amidst a market-driven ( i.e. profit-driven) health care industry.

P.S. some Korean researchers claim to have isolated a biochemical that rejuvenates old cells - but no one knows what
to make of it yet. I think Nature published the results.
