Maybe it will come to late for us, but maybe it won't be to late for

our children and grandchildren. These mysterious autoimmune diseases

can't be cured when they don't know the cause. Even though they may

have proven a genetic link, it still doesn't solve the puzzle. Many

people have genes that can make them more susceptible to certain

diseases but they never develop the disease. So they will still have

to find the trigger. The immune system is so complex. It will keep

them busy for a long time.
