Am I inflamed? Okay, that's bad at its core. But now am I inflamed and creating tissue debris? And now am I inflamed, creating tissue debris and activating my immune system? And is my immune system confused at baseline? Now everything is getting presented bad and good, and I'm losing that tolerogenic immune response, the differentiation between good, bad self, and foreign.
