Silent inflammation -  insidious inflammation that remains below the threshold of perceived pain, while reaking havoc in one's body for years.  The latest research has linked silent inflammation to the causes of chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, type-II diabetes, autoimmune diseases and Alzheimer's disease.  Silent inflammation involves the overproduction of inflammatory producing eicosanoid hormones, insulin and cortisol.  There are clinical tests that can determine one's level of silent inflmmation.  Appropriate dietary changes, quality supplemets and lifestyle modifications can reduce silent inflammation and one's risk for chronic disease.
