When the immune system attacks the strep, it must also attack it's own neutrophils to minimize damage from the bleach-like substance. Wouldn't this explain autoimmune? Strep may trigger release of latent infections (i.e. TB, chickenpox). The immune system, in addition to attacking the strep and it's own neutrophils, must attack the released latent infection. Wouldn't this explain why autoimmune damage is in a specific area? Example: If a person has a latent TB infection in the pancreas and exposed to strep, the resulting attack and damage would probably result in Diabetes. If a person has a latent chickenpox infection in the brain and exposed to strep, the resulting attack and damage would probably result in PANDAS (autoimmune). The autoimmune disorders in our family history seem to have a direct link to strep.

I have fibromyalgia and so does my first cousin. We believe that this is also an autoimmune disease. Someone needs to study my family. We have 5 or autoimmune diseases in my family.

At the 6th International Congress on Autoimmunity in Portugal last September, I co-chaired a session where a number of presentations were made describing the common cause. Unfortunately, I tried to leave the URLS of these presentations and transcripts but this comment system told me my message "seemed a little bit spammy." So I guess you will have to find the other presentations manually, they are all linked from the following conference video: http://vimeo.com/1787405 "Autoimmunity Reviews" has just published two papers which describe the 'common cause' in detail. A fulltext pre-print is available from: http://AutoimmunityResearch.org/transcripts/AR-Proal-Metagenome.pdf There are three other peer-reviewed papers "in press" at the Annals of NY Academy of Sciences. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time (there is an email link at the top of my webpage) if I can be of any further assistance in thsi initiative.

During this journey to finding out what's wrong with me I found one very interesting bit of information. I have a dysfunction with my innate immune system. My immunologist tested me for mannose-binding lectin and it came back deficient. He only did the test because he just learned about it at a seminar. My 2 endo's have never even heard of it. How hard is it to just do all the testing of an individuals immune system????? I have autoimmune thyroid (Hashimoto’s).
