Inflammation is the body's basic emergency-response system. When anything threatens the body's health--from disease-causing germs to the buildup of fatty plaque in the walls of a heart vessel--the immune system sends in wave after wave of cells to swarm and destroy the invader.

Instead, a swarm of journalists sprayed him with questions about the Unitrust bank and the police investigation. Wearing a diaphanous black shirt that showed off his physique, Ogami denied any wrongdoing. With the box office receipts from his surefire blockbuster, he insisted, "I'll pay the money back."
