Tina, Jan, and others with an auto-immune condition,
I found this on a celiac forum earlier today. Sounds promising . I've read before that they have begun to believe that all autoimmune stuff has a common cause, just a different result. This organization might be worth something to you guys. I'm going to check it out, too, as I'd love to stop being the best gluten-free cook in Chicago .
Autoimmune Disease Research Foundation
An alliance of volunteers, physicians and scientists who believe in the
"common cause - common cure" hypothesis of autoimmune disease. ADRF
recognizes compelling research findings that indicate autoimmune disease
should be regarded as one disease that is manifested as type I diabetes,
Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, multiple sclerosis,
lupus, and 70 other autoimmune syndromes, with many likely having a
common cause and a common cure.
ADRF therefore supports "high impact" research, clinical trials, and
advocacy that should be pursued, in order to accelerate progress toward
curing autoimmune diseases.
