I actually thought that we had an over-active immune system - it's on and doesn't know when to stop which causes the immune system to attack different parts ofallergic t our body which our immune system doesn't reconize as a part of the whole body and not an outside invader.
I attribute my hay-wire immune system to all the steriods I've had to take over the years due to being allergic to so many anti-biotics. The steriods shuts the immune system down, then when you go off the steriods, your immune system kicks back in. Like a light switch, after a while of so many off/on's it wears down and BANG your immune system goes and attacks anything in sight - with TM it's the sheath around the spinal cord - with colitis it's the colon, etc. Candy K. -----Original Message----- >From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Jun 20, 2007 5:09 PM >To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Cc: tmic-list@eskimo.com >Subject: Re: [TMIC] Med marijuana > > >> You might be interested in this: >> "Marijuana use weakens the immune system. > >>e specially in view of the fact that most of us seem to have weakened immu> >>ne systems. > >I don't believe that article/book- IT"S BOOOOGUS !!! > >Actually, I read recently the cannabinoids may benefit one's normal immune >system. > >TM is caused by a hyper- active immune systems- Auto-immune process.
