I have just read about Waldingers latest findings (and all comments), this is amazing news and I have already sent two email (one to Waldinger to request the articles and another to my doctor with the news and request for new help/treatment).To you who already received the articles; How long time did it take to get the articles? Anyone who knows if antihistamines could reduce the symptoms?BRfrom sweden!

Anyone who knows if antihistamines could reduce the symptoms?I guess it depends on how busy Dr. Waldinger is, but it shouldn't take too long, a day or two? Unless the weekend delays them.For me and others antihistamines haven't helped much. Not sure how many positive reports there might be....

What choices do we hav man. ! In fact dr waldinger did the skin prik test and hyposensttion successfully.That's what I'd have to say afghan666. The Dr. Waldinger's skinprick test wasn't done just on a whim. I'm sure if a common everyday doctor decided to see if liquid "X" caused a reaction, one could say "skinprick tests are not reliable enough". You can imagine that a diluted version of tabasco sauce might cause a reaction.... Let's get serious right?That's what makes the information in the reports so important. First, a mechanisms was proposed for the cause, which not only was corroborated by skinprick tests, but validaded by a high percentage of positive response on a thereapy BASED on the results of the skinprick tests.Luck involved.... My PhD brother says, luck is where intelligence meets opportunity. So be it!

Stefanie, no! It could very well have something to do with endocrinology (even if Waldinger is mostly right). We cannot be black and white about things. Also, although Waldinger is doing good science, his findings are not the final word. They are still preliminary, and there are many unanswered questions. POIS is not solved. More research must be done!

Sperm are immunogenic - that is they will cause an autoimmune reaction if transplanted from the testis into a different part of the body. This has been demonstrated in experiments using rats by Lansteiner (1899) and Metchinikoff (1900), mice and guinea pigs.
