[00:00:00]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.
