Dear John,
Thank you for your interest on this subject.
1. "By "non-self recognition", do you mean that these antigens will be
treated differently because they are introduced as a foreign substance?"
treated differently because they are introduced as a foreign substance?"
-> Yes. It is also a matter of the volume and the duration of such a treatment.
2. "Also, if antibodies are made from these antigens, and are effective at
fighting cancer cells, why wouldn't antibodies also be made from
normal antigens to attack normal cells?"
fighting cancer cells, why wouldn't antibodies also be made from
normal antigens to attack normal cells?"
->The normal antigens will not create antibodies since they are not recognized as "non-self".
3. "Why are there no reports of auto-immune disease resulting from urine therapy?"
->Auto-urine theapy is modulating the immune system in such a way that may prevent auto-immune diseases as well as cancer. It is also a matter of the volume and the duration of such a preventive medicine (auto-urine therapy).
A note: This hypothesis should be examined by clinical or laboratory studies, which unfortunately there is no budget (or interest) for it...
Best regards,
Joseph Eldor, MD
