Thank you Mike.
Did you read that article? Research is being done on a substance called alpha-galactosylceramide, which is said to stimulate only the regulatory cells, and it could be the future to treat autoimmune diseases.
I suppose it would be a great opportunity for TF products if they proved to be effective in promoting an increase in regulatory cells... a very high NK increase is not necessarily good news for autoimmune diseases, in fact it could be bad news if the increase is restricted to the pathogenic lineage... as you know, a "strong" immune system does more damage than a "weak" immune system when it comes to autoimmune diseases.
Where would I find more technical articles about TF? I read one by Steve J. Bock (International Journal of Integrative Medicine) which said that Th1 mediated autoimmune diseases could in fact be exacerbated by TF.
Are there any double blind clinical studies with TF?
