JL I am with you that chronic inflammation is the immediate cause of many diseases, like heart disease but I doubt that inflammation is the root cause of all diseases.
Ac a matter of fact if you have an infection or a virus that is not cured/ controlled, for instance a HBV or HBC then you liver gets inflamed, you get fibrosis and then cirrhosis.
If you look at the immediate cause of fibrosis then you can say that inflammation causes fibrosis, but in fact the root cause is hepatitis. In theory with EPA supplement in this type of patients we should be able to attenuate inflammation (tbc), but we would not eliminate the root cause , ie hepatitis.
The same I think it may happen if you have a parodontitis which with time can cause heart disease. The infection in your mouth, if not cured, will cause the cause of a persistent inflammation which in turn can cause heart disease.
Inflammation is the immediate cause of heart disease, we can reduce MACE risk with EPA, but it is not the root cause of it, which is the infection in your mouth.
Am I missing anything?
