It struck me that the encephalitis of this disease was a much more fulminant version of the encephalitis of multiple sclerosis. Now, Behcet's syndrome comprises a number of component disorders, all of which are more common as isolated component disorders. The same applies to other component features of the sero-negative arthritides. There is clinical continuum from the mild components to the severe syndrome complexes. Note that physiological auto-rejection invokes the need for regeneration.
Regeneration is resurgent morphogenesis.
The luxury of extensive auto-rejection as a morphostatic technique can only be afforded to its maximum in fully grown animals. This is reflected in the age incidences of the auto-rejective disorders. I have had no feedback yet to suggest that any professional immunologist has heeded anything presented in that article. I contend that this article has a great deal to add to this debate. After all, it is a perfectly justifiable viewpoint for each one of us to contend that the centre of the universe lies within the confines of our own body.
