I need the source of this data

hahaha I get you though... Janesway Immunobiology textbook says basically the same thing. I was on this for a year and it worked reasonably well but I already needed my 2nd surgery by then. Just got the surgery in Sept but then was booted off state assistance insurance because I "make too much money"... I work on a temporary research grant as a molecular technician while I am waiting to start my PhD. Long story short is that I have 4 pens left and I have been planning on using one every month instead of the two/month but I JUST came down with a flare from taking Excedrin last night. This medication worked for me in general but you should keep taking it without missing doses and also stay away from NSAIDS...

L'infliximab se fixe avec une affinité et une spécificité élevées au TNF-a circulant, membranaire et lié à ses récepteurs, neutralise l'activité biologique du TNF-a et inhibe la fixation du TNF-a à ses récepteurs. L'action principale réside sans doute essentiellement dans la capacité à induire une apoptose des cellules T activées ­ sous l'effet de la fixation de l'infliximab à la surface cellulaire.

maybe a leaky gut and all the processed food we eat causes these chronic health illnesses.

No

Love the animations (great for understanding!) but why is this video solely taking a view on treating symptoms and is not focusing on treating the cause by lets say lowering your tnf alpha by physical exercise? Or a proper diet?

[@ktal87]

Perhaps because it is used for ulcerative colitis, where no matter how fit you are, and how good your diet is, patients can still experience awful symptoms. Yes, being healthy can help with a lot of conditions, but this one falls under those that do need medical help.

Western medecine summed up in one sentence... Here it is... We have no idea what the cause of your "insert syndrome here" is, but we are going to start you immediately on this high profit fda dope which has side effects that are as bad if not worse than your initial problem...

Mark Leon Tanner its all about money....you became life time profit sadly..
