"What actually *is* inflammation?" Comprehensive Analysis of what *it* is - and how the Vagus Nerve regulates *it*

Jul 20 (edited) • General Discussion & Intros 🙌

Earlier today, Palmer on X asked about Inflammation, what is it really ?

And I have this great book, it's called "The Great Nerve" and it's be an inflammation expert named Dr. Kevin Tracey.

I'm including highlighted segments from his book addressing that question - so just click through the pictures on here to see what he says.

Highly encourage you to buy his book, either physical or on Kindle: https://amzn.to/40s8y7W

Summary:

Inflammation is essential for healing 🩹 but becomes harmful when chronic, driving diseases like heart disease ❤️🩺, stroke, Alzheimer's, diabetes 🩸 & cancer 🎗️.

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) 📶 can reduce inflammation, treating conditions from arthritis to depression. Non-invasive tech like ultrasound is rapidly growing.

3 Summary Points:

Essential protector ⛑️ turned silent killer ☠️ when chronic.
Vagus nerve is inflammation's "off switch" 🔌.
Non-invasive VNS (like ultrasound 📡) is the future 🚀.

Ultrasound Bullets:

Rapidly growing non-invasive VNS intervention.
Focused ultrasound harnesses vagus nerve's anti-inflammatory power.
Goal: Accessible treatment without implants.

I encourage you to browse through the pictures and highlights from the book, you will find some fascinating tidbits about what Inflammation *is* more through those.

Thanks for reading !

Additionally, if you too believe you are experience a "dysregulation" of inflammation in your body, and you want to try some form of "VNS" - without resorting to taking "drugs" - then I would highly recommend you explore some of the Course Modules we have available here on Skool.com/vagus

Our Easily accessible Classroom module here: https://www.skool.com/vagus/classroom/4d7222e2?md=84dd1b644b3f4b398e79861564632b31

Will cover cover the two "best" options in my eyes: Electrical and Ultrasound VNS.

Also, if you do decide to pursue either, we recommend you of course make a free account here on Skool.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you learned something valuable today !
