What a shame someone had to hijack the science for their own mixed up beliefs.
This research is fascinating to me as my sister was diagnosed with MS last year. This research may connect to her condition in that if somehow the mothers immune system under-functions during pregnancy then it is possible this "training" mechanism does not occur correctly. The immune system then may retain the T cells, which should have been deleted out by the immune mechanism due to identification of self, which instead go on to cause the autoimmune condition of MS. The same could potentially apply to other autoimmune conditions.
