"The medical community is divided over whether achieving this balance is
really a key part of restoring and maintaining health in the face of
autoimmune disease."
"It is thought that an overactive TH1 system needs to be balanced by stimulating the TH2 pathway, and vice versa. Since the former is involved mainly in cellular infections, one approach
involves increasing TH2 levels via deliberate allergic stimuli.
Conversely, down-regulating the TH2 response might possibly involve
intentional infection (as with vaccines) with microbes in order to
increase TH1 response and therefore restore balance."
Wahaha, sounds logical and interesting. I will ask my immunologist about this!
I have experienced uveitis, that was triggered by tetanus toxoid vaccine. Doctor said overproduction of T-cell, th1 pathway... Who knows,
- beer is the cure for uveitis attack.
- half bottle of red wine before IUI.
- two shot of Tequila before IVF.
I am allergic to alcoholic beverage- a possible trigger for my Th2 pathway. Simple problem gets simple solution.
My current supplements: calcitrol, fish oil, L-glutathione, L-carnitine, coQ10
