The main thing i can't get my head around is the discussion on autoimmunity. On the one hand he states: (in relation to Gc MAF)
But on the other hand
So he seems to be saying that his patients on GcMAF are not showing signs of developing an autoimmune problem, but at the same time that M.E is on a continuum withother autoimmune diseases.
Am i wrong in thinking this doesnt make sense? It is one of the things that has put me off GcMAF - if i have an autoimmune disease theni wouldnt want to take something that could exacerbate this.
All the best, Justy.
Risks include a shift to autoimmunity and an immune reconstitution reaction known as IRIS although none of his patients have developed autoimmune disease as a result of Gc-MAF
But on the other hand
Dr. De Meirleir concluded his talk with a detailed slide describing the various pathways that are disrupted in ME and several other autoimmune diseases. He spoke about a continuum of autoimmune diseases including ME, lupus, RA, type 1 diabetes, and remitting MS
