Dear Everyone:
   I just read something which is new to me and fascinating and so I wanted to
share it with 2200+ close friends.
  I got it from Ann Cowlin's "Dancing Through Pregnancy" newsletter.  The idea
is that women have to be able to supress their immune system function to live
with the foreign proteins, such as DNA, of their babies growing in utero.
This may be the reason for women's increased susceptibility to autoimmune
disorders. What do you all think? Warmly, Nikki
