Autoimmunity risk - women:

Thus, women may be at an increased risk of M2-mediated autoimmunity due to

estrogen's ability to increase Th2 responses.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19819674

We also demonstrate that ***MSC (stem cells) IDO activity*** is implicated in the

differentiation of monocytes into interleukin (IL)-10-secreting

M2 immunosuppressive macrophages

(CD14+/CD206+).

Those monocyte-derived M2 are in turn implicated in the suppression of T cell proliferation in an IL-10-independent manner, thus amplifying the

immunosuppressive effect generated by MSC.

MSC = mesenchymal stromal cells

L-tryptophan is required for T-cell activation and

inhibition of IDO

correlated to rejection of the fetus

by the mother (Gordon et al., 2003).

IDO is an enzyme that makes tryptophan convert to KYN acid and ultimately to niacin as opposed to tryptophan -> serotonin and melatonin.

It *maybe* that Bb and C. Pneumoniae infect the MSC = our stem cells - which have a progesterone receptor on them.

There are ways to lower progesterone via Rx and even some natural nutrients and "medicinal herb oils"...

Here's one - an RX:

RU486 (mifepristone) = progesterone inhibitor

(Progesterone inhibitors = loss of a fetus.)

In the case of C. Pneumoniae (a common lyme co-infection):

These results indicate that RU486 may directly bind to the bacteria within cells and cause the destruction of C. pneumoniae."

ONCE the infection is destroyed, there is a way to reverse the damage - safely and naturally.

You can get well.
