    When this was posted before someone who followed it fairly closely and others like it, updated the thread with info because the article was behind current info. They had already stopped the trials for MS because it wasn’t working. So they began to just focus on one other, the Crohn’s, I believe. Figuring if they got one to work, they could go back to the others and get them on the right track.

    I have MS, and while this is a new approach, there have been so many articles about treatments that end up going nowhere after the first excitement. So it is still very early to get hopes up.

    Hope can be a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane, as Red said.

      T1 diabetes here. A cure is just 5 years away…

      They told me, when I was diagnosed in 1992.

        It always 5 years if properly funded. It’s never properly funded so always 5 years.

        They are testing an artificial pancreas currently. The cost is the issue as always.

      Well damn, I got MS too but caught it fairly early. I’m hoping for a major breakthrough before it gets really bad.

      So, if I understand this right, a more accurate title would be “Research into vaccines against autoimmune diseases continues, new data indicate that a change of focus might be needed”
