The vagus nerve acts as a master switch for chronic inflammation by sending acetylcholine to inflamed tissue, which binds to immune cells and reduces cytokine production by 87% in under one minute; chronic diseases like arthritis and Crohn's occur when this neural signal weakens, and electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve can reverse symptoms in 67% of drug-resistant patients.

Scientists Found the Body's Hidden Inflammation Kill Switch #ShortsAdded:
Chronic inflammation has a master switch and doctors missed it for 200 years. We thought inflammation was immune cells gone rogue. Turns out there's a neural override. Kevin Tracy at Feinstein Institutes mapped the inflammatory reflex in 2016. The vagus nerve sends acetylcholine to inflamed tissue. It binds to immune cells and cuts cytokine production by 87% in under 1 minute. But here's the part medical textbooks still skip. Chronic diseases like arthritis and Crohn's happen when that vagus signal weakens or stops firing.
Stimulating the nerve electrically reversed symptoms in 67% of drug-resistant patients. Your body already knows how to heal. The switch just needs flipping.
