Hey, Ted:
It's difficult to catch Ebringer running out of studies; this very one was performed upon chronic NSAID-takers (who certainly have a level of LGS)--those with RA and were B27 certified negative. He found zero elevated IgA-Kp levels, but he had to differentiate between the groups, and in doing thus found that the vast majority of those with active RA have elevated IgG specific to Proteus mirabilis. He believes this germ, responsible for about 15% of UTIs, is the cause of RA; same molecular mimicry mechanism.
I had so many more questions for Ebringer than I was able to ask, but these were some of the most important that could not be avoided, especially since he included the data prominently in several of his papers on the topic.
Keep trying!
Best Regards,
John
