Eddie, from what i understand, when the particular T cells activate, there is a reaction where calcium activates the potassium channel causing the cell to kind of wake up and get moving. What they have discovered is that if you block the calcium or the potassium the cell cannot activate both elements have to be present for the cell to respond.

I remember reading some studies being done to block the calcium channel which worked great for shutting down the cells...but of course meant less calcium for your bones and teeth, and of course osteoporosis and other problems.

The reason I like this particular study is because it is the same group of people who discovered that the same type of cells that eat myelin are the same type of cells that cause RA, Diabetes, and I think it was Krohn's disease. (Been 2 yrs since I found the first documentary, which I cannot find now.) It is really fascinating stuff, and I cannot wait for more information to be available that is easier to read.
