New finding: cause of autoimmun ilnesses (?)

Thanks for sharing, always interesting to read the latest research and directions. Just remember that one scientific study is NOT proof. Everything must be confirmed by peers, and always studied in much greater depth. This is a mouse-model study, and far apart from human-study. Interesting idea brought up.

The source scientific publication (gated) for those of us with access who like reading that dry and more in-depth stuff:

Wouldn't it be something if UC is an infection caused by Enterococcus gallinarum bacterium? I know some Crohn's research is pointing to the possibility it too is an infection but caused by MAP bacterium. Both say we're born with genetic-deficiency that's later triggered.

Yeah, there's a lot of research in vaccine development for IBD. They have a vaccine for MAP for Crohn's that's undergoing clinical studies. Qu Biologics SSI is much like a vaccine, itself, meant to retrain the immune system.

Well ask yourself what does a vaccine do?

1.) It trains the immune system on what is SHOULD be attacking.
2.) It gives the immune system easy exposure to a safe pre-killed-target, enabling development of antibodies to neutralize it. One the immune system has antibodies ready, then those are deployed against the more agile, elusive, alive pathogenic target.
