Re: Innate vs. adaptive immune reaction

[Guest guest]

I would be more inclined to think that brain and gut inflammation are

simultaneous, brough about by same/similar pathogens and same/similar

immune reactivity to those pathogens...

Thanks for posting the links!

wikipedia is always great for explanations of terminology, see this one

for adaptive/inate immunity etc:

There is a book called The second brain. Which does go into detail on

the gut and brain having similar receptors and so if you can treat one

you affect the other

Thanks, Natasa. I'm learning that I have a lot more to learn about

how the immune system(s) work. I think most DAN! doctors could learn

more about immunity, too.
