Good morning All:
Yes, as L33 points out that the author, Gabriel Martins, of the book stated that he needed about a year for his body to do a lot of repair after his immune dysfunction was remedied.
Arindam has said similar in his post, AS Controlled,
https://www.kickas.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=518341#Post518341 A couple of days ago I finally downloaded Gabriel's book. It took only half an hour to read. If two medical experts can diagnose him with AS and he can cure himself with antibiotics then more doctors need to open their minds to the idea that there is more than a single cause and that doctors have to be willing to practice individual, customized medicine for illness related to dysregulated immune system.
I think that Dr Richard Horrowitz is leading the pack on the concept of Multi Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome -- MSIDS -- where the syndrome is the different diseases of AS, ALS, Diabetes (type 1), Lupus, Lyme, Parkinsons, MS, Reactive Arthritis, Sjorgens Syndrome, etc., and how infections drive those symptoms through a persons immune system to their genetic weak spots.
Of course there are some disease that do not need an environmental trigger. Are they more rare than environmentally triggered ones?
