Researchers at BRIC, the University of Copenhagen, have discovered that the human body can create its own vaccine, which boosts the immune system and helps prevent chronic inflammatory diseases. The researchers results have just been published in the prestigious Journal of Clinical Investigation and may have significant consequences in developing new medicine.
Researchers at the Biotech Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC) at the University of Copenhagen have discovered a protein normally found in the body that can act to prevent chronic tissue inflammation. When administered in the form of a therapeutic vaccine it is able to effectively prevent and treat a number of different inflammatory disease models for multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), skin hypersensitivity and allergic asthma (AA).

Many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases are chronic and affect a large majority of people. Moreover, there is an inflammatory component to many common diseases, such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, RA, AA, MS, type II diabetes and cancers. The vaccine discovered by the researchers boosts special cells of the immune system, called NKT cells.

I saw that movie: I Am Legend.
Thanks for the article.
You are angelically welcome.
It's a FReebie. It's not simple.
I read a thread here today about some biotech companies ordering and using aborted fetus’ to use in vaccines.
Creeped me out.
Comment# 6 has the link. The thread about asthma and aspergillus mold had a link to the abstract in comment# 18.
Thanks for the links!
