My wg dr. (Btw, Sam, he is consulting with prof. Jayne) has experience with rtx many years now and he is not concerned at all. He says that the more we use it to keep the WG quiet, the greater the chance is that the immune system will forget to attack itself.
It is interesting how they think differently in different countries....
And.... It's not a nice question, but is it possible that money issues are also involved in the decision making about rtx ? Seems that they dont give it as they should in the US ? I wonder about Australia... Israel & UK sounds similar... as I remember from dr. Phil he got it since 2011 every 6 months.
