“He had a tremendous influence on me,” he said. “I became teenager, and suddenly I couldn’t play sports and I couldn’t live in normal life. I had to take a very high dose of corticoids, which swelled me like a balloon.”

As the years passed, Santamaria developed additional autoimmune conditions and determination to find out more about them. “I wanted to understand diseases and mechanisms, hoping to help others in the end,” he said.
He has made progress in achieving this goal. Work as an immunologist at Kalgary University of Canada, Santamaria Re-programming the immune system and encourage the human body to encourage the human body to end its destructive tissues.
Because therapies go to clinical trials, there are hopeful signals. In fact, some are so effective in a single dose, in some cases, people left symptoms in years. So is the end of autoimmune condition now?
