Janie thank you:
Finally someone has taken one of these many news articles and explained
it so as I can understand why I am expected to read it.
By pointing out the highlights of the article you have compressed my
time so I do not have to educate myself on Lupus to see the advantage of
this discovery.

This was my point last week about news articles. If one finds an article
and posts it. Reading it does me no good unless I have understanding.

Lets hope this gets through Phase III trials. And in some way becomes
applicable to TM.

ps: I wish I had time to go back through the posts of yours and mine but
I type, I send, I delete. My workload is too great to pick through
deleted mail and I'm setup to delete my trash folder when I boot. The
following paragraph from your post lost me I don't recall this as part
of my post but then if you say it is I'll leave it at that.

In your post, you referred only to this paragraph from my post...
"Complement
levels are actually used as a diagnostic tool for lupus...as they are an
indicator as to the activity state of the disease. The more active the
disease, the more havoc it can wreak, such as in TM. If the ability of
the
immune system attacking itself could be reversed in its early stages, TM
and
many other diseases might be ancient history!" -- This paragraph only
confirms
the 4 facts above, and does not seem to support your initial comment at
all.
