Hi guys,

saw this fascinating article in NY times. Offers an incredible breakthrough for RA.

"A neurosurgeon has spent more than a decade searching for a link between nerves and the immune system. His work led him to hypothesize that stimulating the vagus nerve with electricity would alleviate harmful inflammation".

Could this offer any hope in the future for EM sufferers?

We welcome your thoughts!
