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.

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.

“Autoimmunity Reviews” has just published two papers which describe the ‘common cause’ in detail. A fulltext pre-print is available from:

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).
