Note: the title is somewhat misleading. There is no indication of when/how/where this vaccine will be released.
12/25-27/2011: New scientific research has come closer to finding the trigger mechanism of autoimmune diseases. Based on nanotechnology and manipulating an enzyme that triggers immunoprocesses to spin out of control, scientists are developing a vaccine that will, hopefully, reach a human clinical trial stage.
So far the results of this vaccine on animals have been successful. One step closer!

A team of Weizmann Institute scientists has turned the tables on an autoimmune disease. In such diseases, including Crohn’s and rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s tissues. But the scientists managed to trick the immune systems of mice into targeting one of the body’s players in autoimmune processes, an enzyme known as MMP9. The results of their research appear today inNature Medicine.
Left: Natural control mechanism blocks the enzyme’s zinc active site. Right: Novel antibody works as effectively as the natural control mechanism
Seronegativity for Dummies: A Lesson in Seronegative Blood Results
How many times have you heard of doctors relying solely on blood results and not enough on the physical symptoms? How many times has your family ignored your doctor(s) claims of illness despite blood markers because it’s “unheard of?” How many of you were confused when your doctor told you there was nothing wrong because you showed no Rheumatoid Factor or Positive ANA, but you felt horrible? How many of you never actually understood the science and reason behind seronegativity? How many of you don’t even know what Seronegative means?
A Lesson in Seronegativity: ANA, Rheumatoid Factor, CRP and ESR.
November 22, 2011: Researchers in China, Japan, Germany, South Korea and the United States have started studying the effects of STEM CELL infusions in autoimmune patients. The good news? IT WORKED. The treatments were successful in Lupus/RA patients, MS patients and for patients whose hearing was lost due to autoimmune disease (their hearing RETURNED COMPLETELY) without any side effects. Though this is not a cure, it is a huge step towards better disease management and a better understanding of these diseases. Hopefully this treatment will become more accessible to the rest of us that don’t have $25,000 laying around.
“Other autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, atopic dermatitis, and rheumatoid arthritis were not able to be treated with existing medication. However, these illnesses became manageable with stem cell treatment.” It has also been used for Crohn’s and various other AA diseases, even Fibromyalgia.
