In the many months of looking for a doctor/department/clinic who would see me, undiagnosed but told it was autoimmune and referred to Hopkins, not once was I made aware of the research center. I was shockingly denied at the connective tissue and rheumatology clinics and bounced to secondary issues in my visits to Hopkins. Dr. Rose must be an amazing person. Look into this if you have a need or interest. Indeed, in families it is often a fruit basket of different auto-immune disorders such as cousins with either Still's or MS and then another with diabetes. Onward! We need more than blanket immuno-suppressives that cause tremendous damage to the host. Just found out that John’s Hopkins has an autoimmune research center.

]]> Comment on Autoimmune Disease Common Cause Research Initiative by Sarah Martin http://www.cureautoimmunity.org/autoimmune-disease-common-cause-research-initiative/comment-page-1/#comment-512 Sarah Martin Thu, 21 Apr 2011 15:08:53 +0000 http://www.cureautoimmunity.org/?p=16#comment-512 Dr. DeLeo, Montana Labs, proved that strep can burst neutrophils (immune system) causing them to release a bleach-like substance. 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.

It’s needless to say that information is power, and it is highly recommended for MS patients to learn as much as they can about their illness and always be informed about new treatments and medicines that they can use. The existence of websites that provide high quality information on MS treatments, symptoms, diet and news are an invaluable source of information for new patients, and help them live with MS easier. We applaud your initiative! Unfortunately, new Multiple Sclerosis patients lack knowledge, and lack of knowledge can turn a minor symptom into a tragedy.

Both of them extremely severe. I was also diagnosed with enteropathic spondyloarthropathy last years. At this moment I am having a flare up of spondylitis and am lying in bed paralysed in fear to move and feel extreme severe pain. I am a naturopathic nutrition student studying at CNM and one of my lecturers told me that the cause of auto immunity is often leaky gut. Refined carbs find there way past the mucosal membrane and somehow into the blood ( i cant remember how) and then the body attacks them. Then memory lymphocytes search for them and find the carbs in tissues, so attack them... I seriously am considering taking out all refinded carbs...
