> ...the condition is caused by some kind of metabolic impairment that presumably affects the ability of mitochondria to produce the adequate levels of ATP. As a direct consequence of that insufficiency, the immune system gets activated and starts to attack body's own tissues. Why would the metabolic impairment cause the immune system to get activated? Also do tests show which immune cells get activated? Are there existing medications that can moderate those immune cells that might work?
