Ok, so reading about the "Chronic Immune Activation" theory, and the similarities between this illness and auto immune conditions, are there any supplements that can "Calm down" the immune system?

The one that I can find online with a decent amount of information is ECGC (Green Tea Extract). I read about someone in particular with Sjogrens who found that Green tea especially helpful.

Has anyone found EGCG Helpful?

I am not sure how much ECGC would be warranted or how drinking Green Tea (which I don't care for) would differ from taking ECGC supplements.
