New study reveals potential treatment of autoimmune diseases - 2DandNoodle - 01-05-2024
This study reveals a chemical compound that holds potential as a therapeutic for various autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. The researchers have used this compound to treat mice and have found it to be effective. The research focused on T helper 17 cells, or Th17 cells, which are a type of T cell that form major parts of the immune system. The researchers found that excessive glycolysis seems to suppress Th17 cell activity, and molecules produced during glycolysis may inhibit the cells. The chemical compound, phosphoenolpyruvate, is a metabolite produced when glucose is converted to energy and is generated every day in our bodies. The researchers found that treatment with PEP can inhibit the maturation of TH17 cells, leading to resolution of inflammatory response.

Cool. I have autoimmune - Sjogrens. Right now it's doing pretty well. I was on Plaquinel for 12 years. Just got off and am doing okay. Hope it stays that way.

It's great news, I've had one doctor suggest my psoriasis was an auto-immune disorder, but it's gone away since I take a few anti-inflammatory herbs and spices. Turmeric and garlic among others.
I was mostly unhealthy as hell till a few years ago diet and few supplemental herbs made all the difference. If I follow the diet and take the herbs Im fine when I don't it's obvious.
