A Silent Fire: The Story of Inflammation， Diet & Disease by Shilpa Ravella is a brilliant exploration of chronic （often hidden） inflammation and the havoc it can wreak in “a modern plague of illnesses” that are the most common causes of death today。 Inflammation， “an intricate force meant to protect us paradoxically turns against us， leading to collateral tissue damage， autoimmune diseases， allergies， and more。” Ravella is an esteemed transplant gastroenterologist who comes to this work with a k A Silent Fire: The Story of Inflammation， Diet & Disease by Shilpa Ravella is a brilliant exploration of chronic （often hidden） inflammation and the havoc it can wreak in “a modern plague of illnesses” that are the most common causes of death today。 Inflammation， “an intricate force meant to protect us paradoxically turns against us， leading to collateral tissue damage， autoimmune diseases， allergies， and more。” Ravella is an esteemed transplant gastroenterologist who comes to this work with a keen understanding of the immune system， the importance and power of diet， the gut microbiome， and their interactions。 Deeply researched， A Silent Fire is a rich text that warrants multiple readings。 Ravella details both historical and cutting-edge discoveries about inflammation in prose so gorgeous and insightful that I highlighted sections on nearly every page。 A Silent Fire has changed the way I think of food and health and has empowered me to make better decisions for my long-term health。 Highly recommended and potentially life changing！ 。。。more

A Silent Fire is a fantastic read， even for those without a background in medicine。 As someone who has struggled with stomach issues I have been looking to learn more about inflammation/gut health - I found Ravella’s writing to be very digestible （no pun intended） as I begin to take better control of my health。 Highly recommend this book！

An accessible book about inflammation， its role in various diseases and condition， current treatments， and ongoing research。 Inflammation has been in the news a lot recently as the cause of just about every health condition; Ravella explains what inflammation actually is and does， and while the writing does sometimes get bogged down by repetitive material or， in a few cases， too granular analyses， it's fine for general audiences。 An accessible book about inflammation， its role in various diseases and condition， current treatments， and ongoing research。 Inflammation has been in the news a lot recently as the cause of just about every health condition; Ravella explains what inflammation actually is and does， and while the writing does sometimes get bogged down by repetitive material or， in a few cases， too granular analyses， it's fine for general audiences。 。。。more
