Comment on Would we be able to use the measles virus to reset the immune systems of people with autoimmune disorders like MS or rheumatoid arthritis?

This is actually being done with immune reset gene therapy though I’m not sure if it’s at all based on how the measles virus works. It’s also a potential cure for Crohn’s, Type 1 Diabetes, and many other ailments.

I am closely following this one as someone with multiple auto immune diseases AND an organ transplant. This kind of thing would greatly improve my quality of life.

    Way too many, and they only come in blister packs. Takes me ages to sort meds into a daily pill dispenser every week. At least i was able to switch off the one that was causing me to jitter like a jackhammer.
