Cheri,

Are you talking about Kombucha Tea in this post. If so do you know where to

obtain a scuby? Or do you

purchase it ready made?

Hashi's going into (complete?) remission after 4-8 years (Shoman,

" Living Well.. Autoimmune.. " , pbk ed. p89)

This happens to me. My hashis doesn't always show up on my tests (didn't inlast

two salivas) but I get attacks off an on. I didn't understand thatantibodies can

be transient but both and the 's groupexplained that to me. I

don't have research but I think there are a host ofthings that can send it into

remission. I know with me, if I take my kombuevery day I don't get attacks. I am

going to be experimenting with someonenew made from seaweed so when I have used

it for a few months I will reportback the results.Cheri-----Original

Message-----Shoman in her book on autoimmune disease says that about 10percent

of patients go into spontaneous remission after about 4-8years after diagnosis,

along with disappearance of antibodies,although it's not clear whether this is

permanent. Does anyone knowof any research on the mechanism of WHY this happens?

She says thereis evidence that treatment of subclinical hypoT will reduce

itsseverity and slow progressions, and selenium has been shown to

reduceantibodies - which either means it works on the immune system itself,of it

woks on the gland to reduce antigen expression, and theantibodies just go down

on their own.Anybody researched this?Jim.[Non-text portions of this message have
