Number two most established in the literature beyond Hashimoto's is multiple sclerosis. And multiple sclerosis is not typically gluten. So the target antibodies, the target tissues in multiple sclerosis are myelin basic protein or myelin oligodendrocytes. They have what we call significant cross-reactivity with the dairy protein casein. What does cross-reactivity mean?

The immune system is not a perfect system. When it recognizes things to attack, it does so with maybe 70 or 80% specificity. If there is another protein in the environment, that looks that 70% or 80% similar, it essentially cannot tell the difference between the two of them. That is the case for myelin basic protein myelo-oligodendrocyte targets.

Essentially, they look extremely similar to the immune system as dairy protein. So if an individual with known diagnosed MS has a food immune reaction to dairy, the consumption of dairy will drive the antibody formation against their neurological tissue.

Put that in a different context, if that person takes dairy out of their diet, their immune reaction against their neurologic target tissue is going to drop and they're going to feel better.

So I think the first thing that everybody should understand is when you're dealing with an environmentally induced immune problem, there are stages. So there is a pre-autoimmune stage, then there's three stages of actual autoimmunity. Most people who have
