I have a sneaking suspicion that all these auto-immune diseases are really caused by some organism or virus.

I don't really buy into the theory that all these people's bodies all of a sudden went hay-wire and started attacking themselves.

And when treatsments do work, they usually don't know why. Well, did they ever think that just maybe it was because the medication worked on the thing that was causing the infection. Sometimes they even use antibiotics, coincidence?

Maybe billions in research is getting them nowhere, because they are not looking for the right thing.

There are probably thousands of these organisms out there causing illness that they don't have a clue about.

John - If you haven't, check out www.roadback.org, a foundation dedicated to educating patients and care providers about successfully treating autoimmune conditions with antibiotics.

And I am wondering why it says rheumatoid arthritis but not osteoarthritis?

RA is immune related with blood markers.
OA is degenerative and you can see it on Xray.

Some doctors think AI disease is just another form of allergy.
