part 2 nancy's interpretation

>CURRENT OBSERVATION FROM PUB MED 4/99 SEARCH:

>

>To beat intracellular organisms, such as mycoplasma pneumoniae

>or chlamydia pneumoniae, one must have adequate killer t cells

>and good nk function. In addition, one must have INTERFERON

>GAMMA, and have adequate Th1 cytokines. I have deficits in both.

>

> Does anything on these tests contraindicate trying to get

> my IFN-GAMMA up and my cytokines more towards Th1?

>

>A HYPOTHESIS:

>

>From looking at these figures excerpted from the Immunosciences

>Tests, we think G. McFadden may be biased towards a th2

>axis. There was no INTERFERON GAMMA measured in the blood.

>There was adequate IL-4. There were mid-normal scores in the

>th2 axis and low or deficient scores in the th1 axis. Dr. Burbank

>and I had discussions about this last fall before your tests were

>run, because clinical signs indicated this was a possibility. This

>was key to requesting testing from Immunosciences.

>

> Does this make sense to you, Dr. Vojdani? How do

> you interpret the lab test results? Do you see a bias

> in my immune system that might make it hard to fight

> intracellular organisms? How can this be changed?
