Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I think it may have to do with whatever your disease is. different diseases will cause different Th immunity responses. a list of Th1 diseases from http://members.aol.com/SynergyHN/transcript2: " The list of Th1 diseases, besides what we have already mentioned, includes Type 1 and Type II diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, psoriasis, lupus, Sjogren’s disease and the list goes on and on. Like I said, there are so many diseases with chronic inflammation and scientists don’t know what causes the inflammation. " Th2 seems to be more related to allergies from what i can tell. not sure.
