A short YouTube lecture by Robert Whitfield MD explaining that chronic inflammation can damage all organ systems. The speaker links chronic inflammation’s long-term harms to interactions between genetics and external triggers such as diet, environment, and foreign bodies (e.g., implants), and warns these can cause persistent, system-specific problems.
And the end game with inflammation, and in this case, we consider this to be a problem with chronic inflammation, is that all organ systems can ultimately be damaged. And if you couple that to your genetics, then things that considerably inflame your body through your diet, your environment, foreign bodies like a breast implant, hip implant, knee implant, if you're reacting to them, can certainly cause you problems that are going to be long term problems with chronic inflammation depending on the body system that they're affecting.
