Recently Amy Proal spoke at and reported on the 2008 International Congress on Autoimmunity held in Porto, Portugal. Autoimmune issues affect many people, but especially women.

'Autoimmunity in Women', Amy Proal's Porto Presentation from Trevor Marshall on Vimeo.

One quote offered, "Vitamin D induced dysregulation of nuclear receptors may account for higher prevalence of some autoimmune diseases in women."

But as is stated on the website, no one knows yet whether this dysregulation of Vitamin D is a causal factor or a result of the process. (Sound familiar?)

We all wait to hear more about this exciting work!

For all of us with autoimmune symptoms, including many hormone dysregulations, this is great information. Check out this website for all of Amy's report and commentary.

You're welcomed to post your comments here if you suffer with autoimmune symptoms.

Thanks, Cinda Crawford
