You might as well check for your pulse: inflammation isn't a disease, it's a signaling system used by your body. The problem is that often your body reaction has potential to causes problems of it's own. Think of it like the police. For some things (white person is speeding, deserves a ticket), their reaction can be fine and appropriate. Under other circumstances (black person selling cigarettes illegally), they are more of a problem than the one they are intended to solve.
