Inflammation and How it Effects the Body

In 2004 Time Magazine featured an articlePandemic Survival Reviewthat focused on inflammation titled THE FIRES WITHIN. A quote from the article states:

"...chronic inflammation does harm to the body. It destabilizes cholesterol deposits in the coronary arteries, leading to heart attacks and potentially even strokes. It chews up nerve cells in the brains of Alzheimer's victims. It may even foster the proliferation of abnormal cells and facilitate their transformation into cancer. In other words, chronic inflammation may be the engine that drives many of the most feared illnesses of middle and old age." (Time Magazine, February 23rd, 2004)

I'd like to explain how all this happens.
Let's start with Coronary Heart Disease. LDL (low density lipoproteins) cholesterol and homocysteine, an amino acid, appear in the blood as tiny spheres that adhere to the artery wall. Once they build up there they start to oxidize or decay. The immune system sees these decaying fragments as a risk to health and sends in immune cells to the artery tissue to do away with the decaying LDL and homosysteine particles.
