This is what is happening with Gene Therapy; that's why it's so important for us to bombard primaryimmune.org to see if they will consider taking a group of us (those that are willing) for Gene Therapy! That "on/off switch" is a perfect way to describe what we need to happen to our immune systems. Does you friend anything related to Gene Therapy? And remember ALL, that this therapy has been going on, here, in our own country for the last 10 years successfully.

Allergic, who is a member on many BF's sites is a nurse, and somewhere in the thick archives of the Fibromyalgia site, she either put up a discussion or responded to one, and gave us information that researchers had actually discovered that certain genes have 'on/off switches'. Wonder if they will ever be able to turn these off once they're flipped.
Now surely these are not the exact terms she used, or a complete and thorough description, but that was my translation of it! I'll leave her a note, and maybe she can enlighten us!
Stress from such an enormous loss is a major trigger; the medical community has frequently spoken to the fact that in-utero, if a mother is depressed or suffering emotional stress this is passed on to the baby. So your pain at such a young age is a definite beginning...............................

I remember how hard it was for me when my grandmother died when I was seven years old. She was such a loving and kind grandmother to my brother and I. The day we buried her, my brother and I were wailing uncontrollably in the back bedroom. My father sent my mother back to see what was going on with us. We wailed and told our mother why couldn't Nannie (our father's mother) have died instead of Grandma. Nannie was cold and distant towards my brother and I. Life was never the same without Grandma plus a lot of other dysfunction in my life affected me seriously.
I will not be answering back for the next few days; I'm in the "throws" of researching the virus connection and I'm looking into the 1918-1919 Pandemic and one other source which just landed on my lap recently because of Mickey Rooney's death (will explain more later)!! Will also be making contact with the IDF to see how quickly we can join forces!
