 The key point to take home from this presentation is to understand that the microbiota can persist by suppressing the innate immune system.   My colleagues and I have shown that standard bloodwork can be readily assessed for the VDR dyregulation characteristic of this innate immune dysfunction.  It is this chronic phase  VDR dyregulation that facilitates opportunistic pathogens such as EBV, Borelia, HHV, Clamydia, and Mtb to proliferate.  In addition to looking for antibodies to these opportunistic acute infections, it's also very important to look for antibodies indicating underlying chronic pathogens, the antibodies we may now be mistaking for autoantibodies.        The key point to take home from this presentation is to understand that the microbiota can persist by suppressing the innate immune system.   My colleagues and I have shown that standard bloodwork can be readily assessed for the VDR dyregulation characteristic of this innate immune dysfunction.  It is this chronic phase  VDR dyregulation that facilitates opportunistic pathogens such as EBV, Borelia, HHV, Clamydia, and Mtb to proliferate.  In addition to looking for antibodies to these opportunistic acute infections, it's also very important to look for antibodies indicating underlying chronic pathogens, the antibodies we may now be mistaking for autoantibodies.
