Schizophrenia vs. Celiac: different sets of antibodies to wheat? A link between Celiac and schizophrenia has been postulated before. Some schizophrenics have even been cured with a gluten-free diet. Now we have evidence that Celiac and some forms of schizophrenia may both be driven by antibodies to different antigen targets in wheat. Given that wheat, rice, red meat and c... 21 Feb 2010 04:56
Antibodies, sympathetic drive and the development of Type I diabetes I think the lack of specific antibodies against infectious diseases may indicate a failure of sympathetic-mediated immune responses. In M.S., it looks like a history of sympathetic overdrive is protective - a previous TB infection, for example. This study pointing to the lack of antibodies with Type I diabete... 20 Feb 2010 03:42

Could Celiac anti-TG autoantibodies cause Crohn's-like colitis by impairing macrophages? If you've followed my posts in alt.support.crohns-colitis, you know there is plenty of evidence piling up that Crohn's is due to defective innate immunity. Innate pathways that synthesize antimicrobials like cathelicidin are defective via impaired butyrate uptake or low levels of Vitamin D3 - sometimes even hi... 20 Feb 2010 01:30

Fasting (via FOXO) upregulates innate antimicrobials like cathelicidin Fasting upregulates innate antimicrobials? Well, you heard it from me first. I stated quite a while back that fasting upregulates OCTN2 and this should, in turn, upregulate carnitine uptake, butyrate uptake and histone acetylation leading to enhanced expression of those genes under HDAC control - including de... 24 Jan 2010 03:34
Frankenfoods Are Coming! Apparently some clever bioscientists have discovered a method of introducing wheat genes into potatoes.
