Re: O.T.-CD4 T Helper Cells

[Guest guest]

Joe,

Excellent find. Thank you. It is important and I hope the authors

are on the right track. I'd like the group to consider the following

language from the paper (without having to comprehend the

highly technical details)

- ...we will discuss our current understanding of the underlying

mechanisms ...

- ...we have started to unravel the diverse function of Treg cells in

vitro and in vivo.

- Future studies are needed to investigate the molecular

mechanisms underlying the ...

- ...and to address how Th cell conversion might impact immune

responses and the development of various immune disorders.

Lots of " wiggle room " in their words but that is standard in

research. No one study or body of work is ever definitive. It takes

time, multiple studies by multiple researchers, and a developing

consensus.

Despite the fact that there is lots of work to be done it is also

important to know that despite us being " thrown under the bus " by

clinicians. landlords, and attorneys there are credible researchers

taking immune dysfunction, from any cause, seriously. There are

also credible researchers, public health, government agencies,

clinicians, and building scientists taking dampness, mold, and the

filth caused by dampness very seriously. But it will take time!

In the meantime, we must act to take care of ourselves despite

the lack of complete answers. There are some things which are

known and accepted, some are close to being known, but many

mysteries still to be discovered. We must find, share, and use the

best, most authoritative information available which works for

people like us.

around to describing what is happening inside our body, when we get a
