Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I get a magazine called Discover. It has scientific and health news among other subjects. It's kind of a layman's version of more detailed scientific information. Anyway there was a small aricle (which I will try to post as a file) on research and the immune system. This person, Mr. Burt at Northwestern U., has temporarily stopped diabetes and MS with his technique of applying a person's own stem cells to reset the immune system. I sent him an email to see if PF could be one of his research subjects. He responded and said that it was but they had not tested anyone yet. His research deals with autoimmune diseases so we could be out of luck if IPF is not truly an autoimmune disease. Any way it's worth monitoring. These new ideas in medicine are very exciting. Let's hope it moves fast enough for us all. Best regards, Terre, IPF 6/08, FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
