Norman Childers, Ph.D., found that eliminating certain vegetables (known as nightshade vegetables) from the diet could completely eliminate arthritis symptoms in many cases.
Nightshade vegetables include tomatoes, potatoes, peppers (including paprika, but not black pepper), eggplants, and tobacco.
According to Dr. Childers, nightshade sensitivity isn’t an allergy but actually a progressive
loss of the ability to metabolize substances known as “solanine alkaloids,” which are found in all nightshade vegetables. there’s no test that can tell you if your arthritis will respond
to a nightshade-free diet. It’s strictly a try it and see situation.

inflammation doesn't take a toll your body without leaving a few clues behind. And knowing your levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) can give you a fair warning as to what kind of trouble it could be causing behind the scenes.
Your body makes CRP in response to many different kinds of inflammation and elevated CRPs are associated with increased risk of a variety of serious conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and dementia.
your level should be less than 1.0. Levels between 1.0 and 3.0 are termed borderline (a term meaning roughly less than ideal but probably not yet a major problem). But anything above this range can mean trouble, and should always be followed by a recheck in one to three months.
A person might have a cold or allergies. As it any acute illness will raise the profile of this protein in your blood but it will also gradually fall as the illness resolves.
the second condition is a far greater cause for concern and that’s obesity.
fats cells don’t just sit there in your body, They have to keep themselves busy
by producing over thirty pro-inflammatory substances called adipokines. It’s these
substances that result in chronic inflammation, signaled by chronically elevated CRP
A lot of inflammation actually starts in your gut.
if your immune system isn’t up to snuff, unwanted molecules from your food can
escape into your body where they trigger inflammatory response with nasty side effects: fatigue, brain fog, chronic sniffles, mild depression, poor sleep, bloating, gas, and rashes.
Antibiotics, prescription antacids and  even anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen and naproxen are all commonly used drugs that can disturb the healthy balance of good and bad bacteria.
The good bacteria help your immune system to do its job and that includes helping to
control inflammation.

I have very low levels of C-reactive protein, probably due to a lot more than just omega 3 oils.  But that doesn't have anything to do with the inflammation of injuries, such as your knee and your back.  Arthritis and aches and pains, etc,, is a different kind of inflammation, and though less lethal, it still hurts.

I agree with Paxiled.  Omega 3 fatty acid supplementation is a healthy and reasonable thing to do, but I can attest that I still have more than my share of inflammation.
