Inflammation is the body’s ancestral response to its greatest
threats, the first line of defense it deploys against injury and
foreign pathogens. But as the threats we face have evolved, new
science is uncovering how inflammation may also turn against us,
simmering underneath the surface of leading killers from heart
disease and cancer to depression, aging, and mysterious autoimmune
conditions. In A Silent Fire, gastroenterologist Shilpa
Ravella investigates hidden inflammation’s emerging role as a
common root of modern disease—and how we can control it. We meet
the visionary nineteenth-century pathologist who laid the
foundation for our modern understanding of inflammation, the
eccentric Russian zoologist who discovered one of the cells central
to our immune system, and the dedicated researchers advancing the
frontiers of medical and nutritional science today. With
fascinating case studies, Ravella reveals how we can reform our
relationships with food and our microbiomes to benefit our own
health and the planet’s. Synthesizing medical history,
cutting-edge research, and innovative clinical practice, Ravella
unveils inflammation as one potential basis for a unifying theory
of disease. A paradigm-shifting understanding of one of the most
mysterious, buzzed-about topics in medicine and nutrition, A
Silent Fire shows us how to live not only long but well.
