Well this sure was interesting in relation to a lot of discussions on here and the change in mucosal oxygen levels etc.

Interesting. This sounds familiar for some reason. One thing that I've never really completely understood is that I guess our bodies are supposed to have an inflammatory response to certain things but with others it is harmful and causes problems. So, the body is supposed to decide what gets an inflammatory response and what doesn't and when this goes haywire, poof, we've got an autoimmune disease.
