Love the comic representations of cells.

Forgive me if I don’t understand the technical details being discussed here but it appears to me that the results show gluten may be helpful for those suffering from celiac disease. Is that correct? Isn’t that the exact opposite of what we’ve been told for years?

Thanks, Andy!

Cool. Glad you called out the troll too.

One of the reasons I never took the clot shot is that I’m aware that everything about the workings of the immune system is NOT fully understood. Medical science is figuring out new aspects every day...so don’t gamble with some novel technology!

Like Andy, I’m not sure about how laypeople should interpret this result as it pertains to gluten in our diets. So is gluten beneficial or not? James, please clarify.

My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac at age 5. Can you explain it layman's terms? Both my girls are positive for celiac-associated allele(s).

My celiac daughter has a genetic risk of Moderate 1:35

HLA DQ alleles detected DQA1*05:CCBGE, 05:CCBGF

DQB1*02:CCBGG, 03:CCBGH

HLA allele intepretation based on IMGT/HLA database version 3.37.0

The patient is positive for DQ2. Celiac Disease risk from

the HLA DQA/DQB genotype is approximately 1:35 (2.9%)

DQ2 POSITIVE, two copies

DQB1*02:01/02:02 POSITIVE, one copy

My youngest Low 1:210

HLA DQ alleles detected DQA1*01:CCBEP, 02:DWH

DQB1*02:CCBDS, 06:CCFGY

HLA allele intepretation based on IMGT/HLA database version 3.37.0

The patient is positive for DQB1*02, one half of the DQ2

heterodimer. The Celiac Disease risk from the HLA DQA/DQB

genotype is approximately 1:210 (0.5%). This is less than

the 1% risk in the general population.

DQA1*05:01/05:05 NEGATIVE

DQB1*02:01/02:02 POSITIVE, one copy

So now the I would like to build more KIR+CD8+ T cells and how is that possible? Diet, medicine,

exercise, stem cells?
