Is endometriosis an autoimmune disease or just a mycobacteria disease?

This doesn't appear to be an autoimmune and cross-targeting does not appear to be involved. Mycobacterias do seem to be the common thread to other diseases including autoimmune ones.

This is a hypothesis blog and this is not proven.

consider that leprosy which is a mycobacteria of the skin causing the skin to "grow out of control " might be similar in cytokines etc....nerve growth factor here seems to be involved

endometriosis and nerve growth factor is over expressed

not obvious that NGF is involved

When endometriosis overlaps fibromylagia it could be a completely different infection:
