Re: [SPAM] Re: RE: Genetic explanations for neuro-immune issues

[Guest guest]

I always think of genetics as meaning markers that increase

susceptibility to an environmental insult. The insult could be due

to vaccines, pesticides, smog... I believe we have a genetic

predisposition to . I have a sister with EBV, great grandparents

with diverticulitis, and plenty of food intolerances among

all. Plus, I loaded up with milk while pregnant, and my girl drank/

ate dairy almost exclusively for 5 years.
