"... where LDN has been reported as beneficial include multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, HIV/AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, AD in children (Elchaar GM, et al. 2006) " You call that a footnote? --GangofOne 06:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, copied footnote from 'Naltrexone' article; someone else came up with it.--GangofOne 22:16, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the beginning of the second paragraph in the introduction is confusing: The illusory misconception that an individual's immune system is totally incapable of recognising "self" antigens is not new. I have removed illusory to make it clearer, I hope its ok to do this.

Also the first paragraph in the introduction sets out autoimmuntiy as: failure of an organism to recognise its own constituent parts, and autoimmune disease being an abherent immune response. But the second paragraph jumps to "natural autoimmunity". I find the way the intoduction reads a bit confusing (I do have a science background, but don't know much about immunology - I came to wikipedia to read about autoimmune disease) could the authors of this page tie the two paragraphs of introduction together?

Will add research into using enzyme potentiated desensitization (EPD) as a treatment for autoimmune disease. Others will hopefully know of other generic treatments that should go in this section. Peter Davies 20:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
