I agree with a lot of this and as i've discussed with Wally privately, the spectrum with complexity is the way i go - not a linear approach, one that branches off in a few different directions.
The point we make about NSAIDs and pain masking other causes/sources (allergies/sensitivites) is enmeshed with the state of the gut, the history of the gut and it matters not if the major trauma was a fish bone, severe bout of E.coli. or intestine shortening surgery. Kleb is an invasive opportunist - only a vigilant and daily regime against Kp will be effective for those with major infestations or major damage which allows colonizing opportunities.
What will be missing from Ebringer's work, by control sample default, is a high IgA against Kp for people who do NOT have AS, but have suffered gut trauma. Presumably they will be 99% B27- well maybe just 99% free of certain symptoms as the cartilage problem can still exist...
AND to these Kp infected ones without AS, add 20% or so of all pneumonia sufferers !!
Maybe B27 negs do have more cartilage problems - where's that survey/data ?
But maybe they just jhave a bad back for a few days and then get better...
Glad i'm just a simple RS then AS, B27 who reacted well to NSD - makes it all so simple when i can blame Kp.
60 hours of apples later and i'm
ing more than ever, neck free too.
