There are many suggested treatments for inflammation, OP mentions “ginger”, my guess is that like everything else with the body certain treatments work for some people and not others. Like how CGM’s are used now not just for diabetes but for a tighter feedback loop on which foods, etc spike insulin, which allows a person to iterate their lifestyle faster. It’s the same with inflammation- If you have chronic inflammation and are trying to reduce it with diet, exercise, medication, naturopathic treatments, a tighter feedback loop would be a game changer, assuming it was possible. Perhaps CRP does not respond as quick to changes in the body as glucose, and measuring it all the time isn’t gaining much.

Great comment! We believe there is a future where continuous inflammation testing will be possible. Here's a team already working on building it: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/admt.2021013...

To your point, we see it as a potentially tighter feedback loop for seeing the impact of lifestyle changes.

Agreed, that only highlights the need to have a network of reliable places someone can go in order to have personally tailored care.

Just finding a doctor that can see you immediately in the US without racking up expensive emergency room fees is darn near impossible now in the US... It always comes back to our ritually broken health care system. :(
