"Nexvax2® aims to desensitise patients to the three specific peptides in gluten that we have previously identified as 'toxic' to people with coeliac disease," Dr Anderson said.
What about the other 87 peptides that this same team of doctors/researchers found to cause celiac reactions?
The patients reacted to 90 peptides, but the majority of the immune response was due to only three peptides.

The problem is that everyone doing celiac research is blinded by dollar signs these days, and they're all working like mad to get some kind of product to market in time to cash in on the coming bonanza. :roll: Because of that rush, probably none of the solutions will work very well, and a lot of people will get sick, but they will use this stuff anyway, because everyone wants to take the easy way out, even when it has obvious flaws. :sigh:
