Has anyone ever objectively determined whether they are Th1 Vs th2 dominant? or we'll balanced for that matter?

If so, what test(s) from quest or labcorp could do that?

IF...... you figured that out, how has that been helpful in guiding your therapy?

I've read a little about it here from a post krimpet made last year but that was over my head and I'm not too keen on figuring it out unless really necessary. I've read some herbs are contraindicated based on Th1 Vs th2 dominance in Dr. Rawls' book.

Thank You.

I find this interesting... I am one of the people that seem to feel better from my lyme symptoms if I get a cold or flu. (of course I still have the symptoms of a cold or a flu....but it is telling that I welcome these symptoms in lieu of lyme hell! A cold is like a free trip to Paris! ) One of my medical professionals postulated that this was probably from shifting from Th1 and Th2 immunity. I have tried to figure out exactly what that means in my case and how it might be affecting my healing....... I am not much help in answering any questions but I think that the shift in immunity is definitely a player in some symptomology.

I seem to shift between TH1 and TH2 dominance myself - Not only do I never full fit either side, but I have conditions that pop up from either side, depending on when I evaluate.

I have used these two articles to help me understand a *bit* more about this, hopefully they will be of help to you as well:
