No, the article doesn't say that. It says there are many types of inflamation, it mentions several types of inflammation including in response to injury,and also autoimmune diseases, and it ends with a discussion of the possibility one of the many reasons inflammation goes wrong today is an imbalance between two particular types.
- rubicon33 7y agoI'm just saying that the way the article is written, it comes off as similar to 16th century theory of imbalance of humors [1]. It's just a very surface level explanation, lacking in substance as I said. There's something more concrete going on and this article didn't even attempt to illuminate it.
