Autoimmune Diseases

No.

Scientists are now investigating whether stem cells could be used to "re-boot" the immune system and provide a cure for Crohn's Disease. In 2007 a major clinical trial to find out whether stem cells taken from a sufferer's own body could provide effective long-term remission. Stem cells hold a potential solution to this problem. As the body's "master" cells, which can be directed to form any type of tissue, they will be extracted from the patient and then re-established in their bone marrow to 're-boot' the immune system, taking it back to a state before Crohn's symptoms occurred. Exciting times for thousands of sufferers.

4 autoimmune disease

There is no such thing as squirrel AIDS. AIDS is a disease that only humans develop.

Drink water.

After infection, the CD4 count measured in blood generally reduces in the first month or two and then recovers, but not to the pre-infection level.

Then, usually over many years the CD4 count reduces until HIV advances to cause symptoms.

Anti-retroviral treatment stops the decline in CD4 cells which then usually recover and get stronger again.

With HIV there is a lot of individual variability in how fast this takes. Some people need treatment soon after infection and other can still have a strong CD4 count after 15 years without treatment.

SLE, or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus can affect any organ system in the body. Cutaneous Lupus affects only the skin.

For more details, visit the Lupus Foundation of America's (LFA) national website (link below), which has extensive information about lupus.

You can also find a local Chapter of LFA through their website (link below). Your local chapter can provide you with printed materials, doctor and resource referrals and recommend local support groups and educational seminars, so you can learn more.

Yes.

errr noo.

yes

Shut up. first u have to prove me that hiv itself causes aids. Actually u need to isolate the hiv virus first. The day they do one of those to things ill answer ur stupid question.

Another Answer:

Diet does not cause HIV and AIDS. HIV is a virus that infects T4 cells and a few others in the human body. AIDS is a syndrome resulting from a weakened immune system. Without the working immune system, the body loses the ability to fight infection and cancer.

There isn't one for rare or orphan diseases per se.

When it comes to autoimmune diseases, there are various ribbons for a variety of autoimmune illness/disorders. There is not an "umbrella" ribbon but individual ribbon for, for ex., autoimmune hepatitis, crohns disease, MS, etc.

There are "catch all"-ribbons available, however none of these are specifically for orphan disease or the umbrella diagnosis of autoimmune disorder.

If you mean that the eyes look protuberant or "bugged" out, some people have that as a normal feature of their facial bone structure. In other cases, it can be a sign of a disorder called Grave's Disease, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid gland. This common sign of exophthalmos (sometimes called proptosis), or protuberance of the eyes, often is the first indication of Grave's Disease. There are too many other possibilities to list all conditions that can involve this sign.

If only one eye is bulging, it can also be a sign of a tumor behind the eye.

An eye examination by an Ophthalmologist is recommended when this condition either of one eye or both is first noted.

Yes, ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune disease.

Too much booze

When you are born, the body takes stock of itself, things that are your make-up (hair, nails, skin, tissues, organs, etc.) are 'self', and the rest is 'not self'. When you get a cold or any other virus or bacteria or fungus your immune system attacks it because it is 'not self'.

The problem in Autoimmunity is that the body blurs the line between 'self' and 'not self' and starts attacking 'self' like a virus or something of the like.

No... Not very much at all

I have celiac disease and have all my life. I know this because if I eat gluten im sick... if I don't im healthy.

I've had a blood test quite a few times and always negative. This is most likely because I've heard that if I'm not eating gluten for 6 weeks or more as my main diet, the reaction won't show up in a blood test. But I cant eat wheat/gluten for 6 weeks or more.

I've read on a poster for dining out and celiac disease, that the majority of people with celiac disease or wheat/gluten intolerance are not diagnosed.

Hope this helps!

Chicken's combs can turn blue as the result of several virus infections, but the disease Bluecomb, or avian monocytosis, has no known cause. It could be virus, but it also could be a metabolic problem.

After an outbreak of Bluecomb, make sure that your chickens have a good supply of clean, cold water, and grain. Molasses is sometimes useful, as well as some form of potassium. Antibiotics that your veterinarian recommends are indicated to help your birds survive. The quicker you act, the more of your chickens will live through the disease.

he was bitten by a chimpanzee in the forest of south africa,

that kind of ape has an awful virus that could cause a person to HIV once they were bitten.
