Re: Re: Fine-Tuning of T Lymphocytes in Autoimmunity.htm

[Guest guest]

The point of this article was about your question about not having the

autoimmune antibodies present. This study pointed this out, having to do

with these chromosomes, genetic expressions of certain things or situations

extending from these chromosomes. One of the things that it did point out

is the reasons for some people expressing high autoimmune antibodies for

long extended periods of time, and others nada. Of course, you could very

well be having adrenal exhaustion or underactive adrenals, and we're

thinking that most people who have long ongoing stressors probably do,

frankly. This alone can cause less immunity to viruses and allergies,

etc...but you say that you never catch colds, flu, don't have allergies and

the like. That's more typical of hypothyroidism, so the information says.

Me, I am definitely hypo, and I catch everything that comes along. However,

it could very have to do with circumstances, being as I work the nursing

floor with many immune-compromised patients who do catch these things

easily. All this aside, one of the main things the study points out is why

those antibodies may not still be there in some persons later on in life. I

don't necessarily understand alleles, but I get the meaning of what it's

saying if I muddle thru it long enough.
