Just found:Recent research has uncovered a shocking connection between multiple sclerosis (MS) and parasitic infections. Autopsy studies of MS patients revealed that every single individual who died from the disease had parasites within their central nervous system. This has led experts to question the role that these parasites might play in triggering autoimmune diseases like MS.While MS is traditionally thought of as an autoimmune disorder, these findings suggest that other factors, such as infections or parasitic infestations, could contribute to the development and progression of the disease. Parasitic worms in the brain have been shown to interfere with the nervous system, causing symptoms that resemble those of MS. This discovery opens the door to further investigation into the relationship between parasites and neurological diseases.As we continue to explore the causes of MS and other autoimmune disorders, it’s essential to look at all potential contributing factors. Addressing parasitic infections in early stages could offer a new pathway for treatment and prevention. This emerging research highlights the importance of considering all aspects of health, not just the symptoms. 🧠⚠️

Flu’d up definitely causes havoc!

Got the stupid flu (right before NYD) and it is kicking my butt! Hard to be gentle on myself when family keep saying ‘you are always unwell!’

Anyone else diagnosed with Spinal MS? I had never heard of it until I was diagnosed a year ago. I have cists from my C1 to C7 of my spine. Causes paralysis on my right side and severe nerve pain that is like seering burning needle like pain in my left. My eyes, hearing and memory has been greatly affected too.

At a Glance• Scientists found evidence that a certain gut microbe can trigger autoimmune disease in mice thatare prone to such disease and identified the same microbe inpeople with autoimmune diseases.• The results suggest new avenues for treating debilitating and potentially lethal autoimmune diseases. The lining of the intestine forms a barrier that is crucial to containing gut microbes. If the lining is breached and a gut microbe is able to get into the bloodstream and nearby organs, it can cause disease. Despite the fact that the body has many ways to prevent the breach, microbes sometimes get through.Previous studies have linked certain gut microbes to autoimmune disease, in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues.

3:14•NEWSHEALTH & MEDICINEFinding immune cells that stop a body from attacking itself wins medicine NobelThe 2025 prize goes to 3 researchers who ID'd T-regs and their role in autoimmune diseaseMary Brunkow (left), Fred Ramsdell (middle) and Shimon Sakaguchi (right) have won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for discovering regulatory T cells, which keep the immune system from attacking the body.NIKLAS ELMEHED © NOBEL PRIZE OUTREACH 3:15Work on peacemakers in the immune system won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine.The peacemakers are regulatory T cells, a type of immune cell that calms the immune system after it has finished fighting infection or healing a wound.These special T cells also prevent the immune system from attacking the body. If they fail in this mission, autoimmune disorders or damaging inflammation can result. These cells are also important to prevent rejection of the fetus during pregnancy.3:15•Shimon Sakaguchi of Osaka University in Japan first discovered these important cells, also known as T-regs, in 1995. Sakaguchi shares the prize, worth 11 million Swedish kronor (over $1.1 million), with Mary Brunkow of the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle and Fred Ramsdell, a cofounder of Sonoma Biotherapeutics, a company based in San Francisco and Seattle. The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm announced the prize October 6.Brunkow and Ramsdell tracked down a mutation that caused a fatal autoimmune disease in male mouse pups while working at Celltech Chiroscience in Bothell, Wash., in the 1990s. The mutation turned out to disable a gene called FOXP3. That gene is important for T-reg development, Sakaguchi later discovered. Without it, there aren't enough T-regs to stop 3:15のthere aren't enough T-regs to stop wayward immune cells from causing harm in the body. Mutations in FOXP3 are also responsible for an autoimmune disease called IPEX in people, the American duo revealed in 2001.Scientists are learning to harness T-regs to prevent rejection of transplanted organs and treat autoimmune disorders, food allergies, cancer and other conditions in which the immune system is overactive or directed against the wrong thing.Questions or comments on this article?
