This is an interesting perspective but I don't believe necrosis is the driver. It's a symptom of impaired cellular metabolism and oxidative stress, chemical exposures, and altered cellular clearance. Many people also carry parasites, which the body attempts to wall off - just like an abscess or necrosis, while it continues to leak inflammatory cytokines into the interstitial space promoting a positive inflammatory feedback mechanism.
