Janie and Judi,
A chronic disease such as Lupus does require an immune system balance
because of it's ongoing immune-system activity. An unknown cause of an auto-
immune disorder resulting in TM would call for a one time suppression of the
immune system. (unknown as in suspected viral trigger)
Sometimes repeated corticosteroid treatments as we all know. I see no reason
for not keeping the immune system in peak condition unless it is the result
of
a known chronic disease. To suppress an immune system invites bacterial
infection that results can be catastrophic. This is my summation of the
immuno-suppresant and the immuno-depressant situation. This is a major reason
we're asking for research. By the way,there are 8 research organizations in
the US to do federally funded research on Herbal supplements.
