Inflammation is perhaps the most common cause of pain. Inflammatory reactions are major contributors to Alzheimer’s disease and to Atherosclerosis, including coronary heart disease. Free radicals and C-Reactive protein are the chief lab tests indicating an inflammatory response. Inflammation may occur because of an infection but also is a reaction to trauma and toxins. Anti-inflammatory drugs are increasingly being touted as useful in treating pain, as well as for preventing Alzheimer’s and coronary heart disease.

The first mention of this correlation was by Hesiod circa 700 BC and again by Pausanius in the 5th century BC. Eventually the Twelve Labors of Hercules were written down in full by Appolororus (180-120 BC). “
