Well, I'm not obsessed, not yet. Far from it, I'm bored and wanted to discuss something interesting. But now that I've digged a little deeper into the matter, I'm beginning to think that this IF scale is just somebody's (a single person actually) idea of inflammation. And she doesn't even tell us what that scale consists of unless we buy her book. Well OK, she did do the research, or so she claims. So she should get paid for the work, if work she did. But then again, I'd like to inspect the work before I sign the check, not the other way around.
