That is, not susceptible to the constant war under way between the body's immune sys-terand germs. tiut r. . nt studies have shown thai the immune system can con-tu-- tf normal cells in the brain and theentra! nervous system with the enrmv When invaders. the irrmiune sy stem makes a mistake an attacks these cells, patients can deCclop bizarre and debilitating Ttrurolocical disorders, researchers Even cancer can cause the body to attack its own nervous sy stem, they said. "The immune system evolved to fight microbes." said Dr. LawTenee Steinman of Stanford I'niversity. "But some of ihe microbes share characteristics of some of the cells in The nen ous "main fe legs, or develop the rare ""stiff-ma- n sy ndrome" in which every muscle is uncontrollably rigid. In children, autoimmune action can initiate Rasmussen's enchephalitis. a rare Type of epilepsy that tnvohes constant and unremitting seizures. Dr. Jerome Posner of Memorial g Cancer Center and Cornell Medical College, said some cancer victims dev elop neurological disorders because the body is mounting an artack against cancer cells. Some patients have been found to have antibodies thai attack not only the cancer, but also the central nervous sy stem, and often the neurological disease appears first, he said. In some patients, said Posner. surgically removing the cancer has cured the neurological disease because it turns off the immune e. Slcian-Kerterin- system" As a result, he said, immune system anack cells can confuse brain or nerve ceils w ith The enemy and mount a powerful attack. Disorders caused by an immune sy v tem gone awry ate called autoimmune diseases. When such autoimmune attacks strike the brain or nerv ous system, victims can suddenly lose the abil-ir- v to coordinate their arms and the sy ndrome is caused when the immune system attacks neurons that produce an enzyme called GAD. This same enzy me is also produced by pancreas cells, further supporting the conclusion that an auioimmune reaction is causing both disorders. Dr. Scott Rogers of the I'niversity of L'tah said he linked Rasmussen's encephalitis with a flawed immune system attack while researching brain chemistry in rabbits. He said two rabbits system attack.

"This cannot be considered a ' cure." said Rogers. "Despite the a treatment, the antibodies recover and the disease returns." 0 o AMY i SIZE LISTED!
