Right now Fibromyalgia looks like an infection that the immune system has not beaten.

Older post:
Xanthomonas is a bacteria that infects nightshade plants.  They use butyrolactones as signalling molecules between them.

In our bodies butyrolactones is converted to GHB which is then converted to GABA.  GABA is the neurotransmitter. How our nerves talk to each other.

A form of Xanthomonas has been found to infect the respiratory tract of people and is considered a new bacterial genus: named Stenotrophomonas.

My notion is actually a question: does the Stenotrophomonas still make these signalling molecules when exposed to nightshades like a bell pepper when it infects us? Could this explain the painful reactions to nightshades that Fibromyalgia patients have? Are antibodies directed at the butyrolactones causing antibodies to GABA thus causing one's own immune system to attack our nerves?

Cross-targeting of the brain and spinal causes autoimmunity

The basal ganglia is involved for Tourettes but it is not an autoimmune but a genetic disease.
The gene involves changes of histamine production in the basal ganglia
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/271058.php
Could this be triggered by allergies? Tourettes is no longer viewed as autoimmune on this blog. Pandas which is similar in symptoms I do consider as autoimmune.

This is an Autoimmune hypothesis blog.

Hypothesis:
The cross-targeting of  2 infections on one target triggers autoimmunity.  A virus marks the inside and a bacteria, mycobacteria or larger type of infection marks the outside. The target is clearly important in determining which autoimmune disease develops. Note that the larger infection which breaks the blood brain barrier creates the hole letting the virus in behind it.  Then they infect their target.

This page is an over view and a contemplation while the rest of this blog has reference links.

Basal ganglia autoimmunity: Pandas (tourettes like)
Herpes Simplex hhv1 or flu virus / mycobacteria or strep

 The herpes viruses wax and wane out of latency which could explain the coming and going of symptoms.  Note that OCD has been found in some Alzheimer's patients which would be in the herpes group because the herpes virus infects the mitochondria of cells.  Alzheimer's is a disease of mitochondrias no longer functioning.

There are 3 different types of autism covered by this blog and they involve different areas of the brain.

Cerebellum: MMR and sutterella
Temporal lobe: DTP and 6th disease (herpes 6)
Frontal lobe: mother's RA autoimmunity  producing antibodies attacking brain and then the mothers catch the flu

All of the large infections that cross the blood brain barrier can or will be associated with gluten sensitivity: strep, t.gondii, e.coli, candida, sutterella, and mycobacterias.

Barrier crossing infections cross both the intestine and the blood brain barrier.  When they cross the intestine however they do not cause celiac disease.  E.coli infects the intestine itself and when cross targeted with a stomach virus triggers the autoimmune disease celiac disease.  Celiac patients tend to have a history of bladder infections in addition to gluten sensitivity. Or at least that is the prediction of my hypothesis.

Maternal antibodies causes one form of autism which is distinct from the regressive types

Rheumatoid arthritis as an autoimmune disease of the mother can effect the unborn child.
A reason to keep inflammation down while pregnant and a huge reason to get flu shots multiple years before planning a pregnancy.

Autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis:
The cross-targeting of  2 infections on one target triggers autoimmunity.  A virus marks the inside and a different infection marks the outside. The target is clearly important in determining which autoimmune disease develops.  In this case the mycoplasmas of RA produce antibodies against the frontal lobe. Normally the blood brain barrier protects the brain but this is not fully developed in an embryo. If the pregnant mother with RA catches the flu virus cross-targeting on the frontal lobe can occur because the flu virus when it has access to the brain replicates in the frontal lobe.  The outside and the inside of the baby's frontal lobe's neurons are attacked by the immune system because of the cross-targeting of these infections.  Thus I am suggesting this is why the baby is born with autism.

These children would be born autistic. They would not be the recessive kind of autism seen in previous posts. They are not vaccine triggered.  The area of the brain attacked by the immune system is different thus these autism should have some symptoms that are different.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is this caused by autoimmune cross-targeting?

Hypothesis: Autoimmune disease is triggered when 2 infections cross-target on one cell type.  A virus hhv-6 marks in the inside and an infection like aspergillus marks the outside which in Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is the lymph node cells.

This autoimmune disease will continue to be analyzed and updated because the connections are weak.

Does Cross-targeting autoimmunity cause Febrile seizures after the pertussis vaccine?

Does pertussis cause seizures by an autoimmune-cross targeting similar to t.gondii because it infects the hypothalamus?  do the pieces of vaccine although unable to cause whooping cough still migrate to and cause autoimmunity at the hypothalamus?

Autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis: a virus marks the inside of a cell while an infection marks the outside and the combination triggers autoimmune disease.

Is this pertussis reaction like the t.gondii and the black fly parasite? Does pertussis overlap with an enterovirus causing autoimmune seizures? (previous posts looked at t.gondii and such parasites connections to seizures)

MMR vaccine overlapping with sutterella causing ataxia and GI associated A?

Get vaccinated. Vaccines save lives. This blog is for researchers.

Hypothesis: autoimmunity is triggered by the cross-targeting of infections. A virus marking the inside of the host's cell and a bacteria-like infection marks the outside.  If autism is autoimmune it will have one of each.  Note that there are different types of autoimmune autism and this page deals with one form of regressive autism.

DTP and herpes 6 virus = deafness/ hearing connected autism? (previous post)

See newer post 3/17/15 .....MMR or hepatitis B vaccine....with sutterella cross-targeting on the astrocytes which encase the purkinje fibers.

GI of autism and sutterella
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22233678

Sutterella is a bacteria of waste and appears in areas where the sewer systems are outdated and overflow.  The sutterella bacteria is a barrier crosser of the intestine and/or the blood brain barrier and therefore causes gluten sensitivity.  Gluten is able to use the "hole" then accelerates and increases the existing inflammation.  So this autism group will have the gluten ataxia associated with it. (this group will not have the herpes associated amyloid or the hearing issues of the temporal lobe)

Sutterella should be found at the purkinje fibers and the measles virus pieces would bring the antibodies there too.  The virus pieces can't cause disease but they can trigger auto-immunity. The cross-targeting is occurring on the purkinje fibers, I believe, in this form of autism.

Consensus paper about autism and the involvement of the cerebellum where purkinje fibers are.
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/221867052_Consensus_paper_pathological_role_of_the_cerebellum_in_autism

Small groups of 25 have not confirmed this and larger studies need to be done not for autism specifically not for the autism spectrum, not for dtp triggered autism or for autism with deafness, or aspergers but for the autistic group that has gluten sensitive and regressive autism with ataxia issues after the MMR vaccine.

http://sfari.org/news-and-opinion/news/2013/controversial-study-uncovers-hearing-glitch-in-autism
This form of autism involves the temporal lobe which is the part of the brain involved in hearing.

What is the DTP vaccine for? Which part of the vaccine could be causing the cross-targeting?

diptheria
A gram positive bacteria which makes a toxic coating that suffocates it's victims

tetanus
A gram positive bacteria which makes a nerve/brain toxin which causes "lockjaw" etc.

pertussis
 The whopping cough bacteria is a respiratory infection that can suffocate thus killing infants.


The tentanus vaccine is made up of deactivated tentanus toxins.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetanus_vaccine

The tentanus toxin can act on the temporal lobe of the brain.  This is the region of the brain that one processes hearing. Is this the autoimmune target in this form of autism? are fragments of the toxin making it there and then the antibodies are reacting?


Is it the herpes 6 virus ( Roseola )the culprit for cross-targeting because it replicates in the temporal lobe?

MMR and sutterella (rare bacteria of flood zones) with gluten sensitivity and GI issues

DTP and herpes virus with hearing issues and app plaques

Both are an autoimmune attack caused by the cross-targeting of a bacteria overlapping a virus.

Autoimmune Cross-targeting hypothesis summary

   The triggers of autoimmunity have been evasive.  A virus will only trigger autoimmunity in a small number of cases and we have not been able to predict who is vulnerable.  This autoimmune hypothesis is an attempt to put forth a reasonable mechanism that allows not just prediction but also an explanation as to why more than one virus can trigger autoimmunity and why not all the time.

   Genetic susceptibility to infections can play a role in the development of autoimmunity, for example the HLA gene of celiac disease is a mailbox protein for Tcells.   Autoimmunity may run in families but this is a shared genetic weakness to infections hence explaining also why there seems to be no specific age of autoimmune development.  Genetic susceptibility is not required to develop an autoimmune disease.

   My autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis suggests that the development of autoimmune disease is triggered when 2 infections coexist in the target or make the immune system attack the same target through antibodies.  Cross-targeting literally means attacking from different platforms.  This hypothesis is that  the immune system attacks large infections on the outside of cells while simultaneously attacking the inside because of viral infections and in the process removes the self education.  Nothing stops the destruction of the entire target cell.

   Viruses enter host cells through receptors.  Not all cells have the same receptors so a virus can only trigger autoimmunity in cells they have access to.  Consider Type one diabetes as an example, the flu virus replicates in  pancreas cells and when the flu moves through a population more cases of type 1 diabetes appear.  Not everyone who gets the flu gets diabetes only a small percent that have an outer pancreatic infection do.

   My cross targeting hypothesis suggests that another infection exists in the pancreas in order to trigger the autoimmunity.  Rheumatoid arthritis has been linked with mycoplasmas and mycoplasmas can very easily infect a pancreas.  Note that other infections can replace the mycoplasmas.  Bladder infections and celiac disease have also been linked to type one diabetes.  If e.coli which is often the cause of bladder infection is the culprit here it could not only infect the pancreas but make anti- insulin antibodies because e.coli produces insulin like proteins.  Please note that  I can not prove that these second infections exist but based on the associations I think we should look for them.  It seems logical that if the inside and the outside of the host's pancreatic cells were marked for destruction at the same time that this could set off autoimmunity.  Also note that the coxsackie virus also infects the pancreas and could replace the flu virus in this scenario.

This autoimmune-cross targeting hypothesis can be applied to other diseases.  This blog has been gathering references to test the notion that this happens in all cases. The difference is which host cells are infected.  For example multiple sclerosis patients tend to have skin issues like psoriasis which has mycobacteria associations.  Interestingly multiple sclerosis appears after shingles in some patients.   Could this be the marking of the inside and outside of a nerve?  Any thoughts out there ?
