That's interesting! I have printed it off and will read it later. Thanks for that.

Interesting, but have they used only male mice! If so, might be flawed.

See attached if not sure what I'm talking about

That Marie Claire article is fascinating, and disturbing.

The radio podcast is along same lines.

Not convenient for me to listen to that as using borrowed computer.

Wow and double wow! I have at least 3 autoimmune diseases and was diagnosed this past May with "Marginal Zone, B cell lymphoma" - non-Hodgkins type. Tell me my B cells are not a runaway train! I have called my body a runaway train on many occasions. I had to do some rounds of chemo and I am in remission - but while my PMR was good after the chemo, the symptoms are slowly returning. I had to up my dose recently of prednisone because of the pain. TY for posting!

Thanks for posting- would be great if they could find something for the cause rather than the symptoms and it was affordable. I can but dream!!
