--that those with autoimmune tendencies have them because they are inherited on alleles that somehow confer some sort of survivial advantage; otherwise, before the addent of modern methods of immunosuppression, the tendency towardds autoimmunity would have been "selected out" a long time ago and there'd be relatively few people with tendency now.

Wonder what your survivial advantage is--nice to think it would be humor.

BTW, did you ever post a full list of all the autoantibodies and such you've ever been tested for? I keep wondering if there are some in the Liza Jane or other lists that may have been missed that might provide some more clues.
