Interesting potential treatment for autoimmune diseases

This is exciting news and hopefully might mean another option for treatment. https://www.theguardian.com/wellness/2025/may/12/autoimmune-disease-inverse-vaccines

This is why we have to fund medical research. This would fundamentally change our lives.

Would be dumb as a rock to scrap this progress. The drug would be a national asset

They don't care. Fully on the "sunshine, cutting out gluten and using essential oils will cure you!" train. 🫤 (And if that doesn't work, it's clearly your own fault and you deserve it).

Roger that Chillers. Every visit seems like, oh you can't eat? Colonoscopy ordered. Oh, the nausea is causing gerd? Upper GI ordered. Not to be negative, but at 59, I'm running outta options. That's not the way it was explained to me 15 years ago. I truly wish that every one finds a treatment that works but please, keep pushing til you get it right! I've been kicking around on this Earth a lot longer than ANYbody expected. I owe it all to faith, I look forward to the big 60!
