What if you have RA and Sjogren's antibody's

Thank you for this Lecture, it was very informative.

I was under the impression this was a review at the postgraduate level .. very basic review and assumes the listener knows very little about lungs or the immune system .. would be nice to have a deep review at the Fellow and practitioner level from this institution

[@jennymartin1634]

Forgive my non-US socialisation, but what does a National Jewish Health Service apply to? Why is it not “Israel Health” for instance? I tried asking the Internet but it got very racist or very nationalist very fast, so, better you guys explain what you mean.

It’s just the name of a hospital, it’s the premiere hospital in the country for respiratory conditions. Back in the time of TB, before antibiotics, it’s where people were treated. Not anything more than that. So it’s not like in UK and NHS, it’s the name of a hospital. Since this is the United States, where the hospital is located, it’s just a name....like Mayo Clinic, Cleveland clinic, John Hopkins University. I think that’s where your confusion lies. Don’t have to be Jewish to come here. My pulmonologist sent results of my bronchoscopy here. Does that answer help?

Many hospitals in the United States were started or operated by religious charitable organizations. You can learn more about our history and our name here: www.nationaljewish.org/about/history

Vegan? Isn’t that one of the worst diets that does not provide sufficient essential fats and proteins for healing of connective tissue? Doesn’t it also require large amounts of supplements? Terrifying to hear an autoimmune specialist speak favorably of veganism. U will certainly stay in business 😂😂😂😂😂

I'd like to know more about diet and connective tissue. I have a hard time with so many foods. Esp., fats and dairy, but also bread.
