The body’s own immune cells initiate the primary cascades of inflammation in the body through the production of what are called eicasanoids. Eicasanoids are what are referred to as lipid
The gastrointestinal tract is a large surface area containing trillions of microbes that make up a large percentage of the immune defenses. Dysfunction to the intestinal mucosal barrier leads to a condition commonly referred to as leaky gut syndrome. Closer inspection often reveals a condition called villous atrophy. When this takes place there tends to
