Rhinitis, pharyngitis, gastritis …… When it comes to inflammation, almost everyone has been afflicted by it. Usually, inflammation is a normal defense response of the body to external stimuli, however, once out of control, inflammation can disrupt body functions.

Studies have shown that inflammation can develop into a variety of diseases, including cancer, making inflammatory diseases the number one “national disease”.

Today, authoritative experts will unveil the mystery of “inflammation” and teach you how to properly prevent the “inflammation” that loves to cause trouble.

Inflammation may be the cause of 1/6 of cancers

Inflammation is a common clinical pathological process that can occur in all tissues and organs. Infectious inflammation is the most common type of inflammation in daily life, and it is the body’s defense response against external harmful germs.

Once part of the organism is “attacked”, inflammatory reactions may occur at any time, such as gastritis, rhinitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, hepatitis, nephritis, etc.

From small colds to SARS and Ebola, all are essentially inflammatory diseases, but the severity is vastly different. According to a report by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, 1/6 of cancers in the world are caused by bacterial and viral infections, which are commonly known as “inflammatory diseases”.

In recent years, the incidence of various inflammatory diseases in China has continued to rise. It is reported that the incidence of chronic pharyngitis and rhinitis is as high as 87.3%; chronic gastritis is 30%; chronic kidney disease is 11%, and the trend is increasing.

Different inflammatory conditions may be triggered by different bacteria and viruses. For example, gastritis is triggered by H. pylori infection, and rhinitis may be a streptococcal infection.

A condition may also be caused by different germs, for example, a cold, bacterial cold and viral cold, both in terms of infection mechanism and treatment are totally different.

Many people take antibiotics at will as soon as they get inflammation, which can lead to antibiotic resistance or acute inflammation to chronic inflammation if the inflammation is not handled properly.

Of course, inflammation does not necessarily lead to cancer. But sometimes, the cause of inflammation does not go away, making it a long-term, harmful condition. From heart disease to depression, out-of-control inflammation can disrupt several of the body’s physiological functions.
