Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Re 2 days ago, Mr Scha now whaps me with a highly cogent rant emphasizing that natural human genes are not the only possible source of primary immune deficiency - this is indeed an essential correction to what I was arguing. Mutations wrought by man-made environmental toxins, or ongoing toxicity, or (probably much more likely) developmental derangement due to the same pollutants, are also candidates. As are changes in lifeways that may derange the immune system by denying it natural interactions with pathogens (the " hygeine hypothesis " ). So, I pretty much recant my post, cause is totally right, there really is a wide world of possibilites here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
