    In addition to my comment above, not all immune related conditions are the result of the balancing I state above.

    Ankalosing spondylitis, which is a rhuematalogical condition that attacks the spine is a bit different. One theory (in the scientific sense) is that the condition is caused by a mis-folded protein response caused by cellular stress. In this case specifically the HLA-B27 protein. You might not have heard of this disease, but it’s out there. The lead singer for Imagine Dragons, Dan Reynolds, suffers from the condition.

    Edit: it’s the HLA-B27 protein, not HLS. That was a typo.
