Starznight, I agree with what you have written.

Because of my day job I know a lot of immunology.

Auto-immune diseases are specially complicated, with a mixture of genetic and environmental risk factors. Also, it is common for any two people with the same clinical diagnosis to differ a lot in disease progression, the relative importance of inflammatory processes, responses to different treatment modalities, etc.

I doubt that there will ever be a single "magic bullet"cure for any auto-immune disease. In my view all that health professionals can try to do is to work with their patients as individuals, monitoring them closely and altering treatment modalities based on clinical evidence.
