"The medical research community really needs to get behind study of the human immune system. Too much money and attention is thrown at treating symptoms rather than causes."

My life's work was spent doing research in the field of immunology and no one that I knew working in the field was looking at treating symptoms, rather they were, for the most part, studying the nature and function of the immune system which is very complex and multi-faceted -- much has been learned but there remains much to be learned about it.
