There are many of us that do.
The conflict seems to arise from the use of the term immunosuppressant, rather than immunomodulator.

A search using "interferons, immunosuppressant or immunomodulator," brings up a starting point for the differentiation, and the following quote comes from the required detailed description of the recently completed UCSF LDN study, which btw, accepted participants on modulators like the INTERFERONs.

'Immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive therapies are known to modify the course of the disease. Interferon beta-1a, interferon beta-1b and glatiramer acetate are immunomodulators whereas mitoxantrone and natalizumab are immunosuppressants
