Inflammasome activation is a key function mediated by the innate immune system in response to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, dead cells or irritants. However, overt activation of inflammasomes may also lead to a variety of autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases (such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease) and metabolic disorders (such as atherosclerosis, obesity and type II diabetes).

Now a new and controversial book by an American doctor suggests that taking even higher levels of the vitamin - 10 to 15 times the recommended amounts - can work wonders. Dr James Dowd, who works at the Arthritis Institute of Michigan, has been prescribing vitamin D to people suffering from chronic disorders such as arthritis, back pain and headaches and the result, he claims, is a huge improvement in their symptoms. In his book, The Vitamin D Cure, Dr Dowd describes a number of success stories using this approach. One of his patients, Barbara, for instance, was obese, and suffered from arthritis in one leg as well as high blood pressure. As Dowd explains: "In the past I would have given her anti-inflammatory drugs, pain medication, a pill to lose weight and drug treatment for hypertension."

Uterine polyps can be identified as the growth that takes place in the endometrium. The term endometrium describes the inner lining of the uterus or the organ where a foetus grows. They can also be identified as endometrial polyps. There can be an existence of polyps which can range in size from a few millimetres to even more than six centimetres. They are supposed to be rare among those women who are below 20 years of age and takes place more commonly leading up to and after menopause. Menopause can be described as the end time of a woman's fertility. For a woman, the chances of building Uterine Polyps may amplify if she has been obese or overweight and having a presence of high blood pressure or hypertension.

The program has led to significant improvements in patient self-management, greater adherence to key evidence-based practices, and improved outcomes, including reduced symptoms for asthma patients, reduced readmissions for heart failure patients, and lower hemoglobin A1c for diabetes patients.

Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus are the most important chronic diseases around the world. They are associated with huge medical expenditure and with increasing morbidity and mortality among related cardio-metabolic diseases in developing and developed countries

There is substantial proof that turmeric actually relieves symptoms of diabetes and could even discourage prediabetes patients from growing type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, the researchers discovered that chronic inflammation produces several health concerns, such as heart disease, specific cancers, and Crohn's disease. Moreover, this chronic inflammation affects insulin resistance. Long-term inflammation may also contribute to obesity and excessive body fat.
