Results for Auto Immune Questionnaire

The results for this questionnaire/survey were derived from several sources and, where noted by two percentage answers, two separate sets of questions.  The first set of response percentages about symptomology in abductees and experiencers were taken from the auto-immune questionnaire posted on Abductee Jigsaw.  The second set was sent out before the creation of Jigsaw and responded to before and after.  There were only 5 replies from non-abductees, and therefore their answers are not noted because of the extremely small sampling. 

General population numbers were derived from sources such as the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, The National Institute for Mental Health, The American Arthritis Foundation and others.  Unfortunately, data on many of the symptoms aren't tracked by the mainstream medical establishment, or the information could not be found, even through exhaustive searches.  If you have verifiable information on anything not included here, or any mistakes in percentages posted, please send it in so that it can be included in future updates.

Though there is no real way of tracking the myriad of conditions and problems reported by abductees as compared to the general population in the figures to follow, common sense should prevail while looking at these numbers.

I believe that we can safely assume, that even though it may seem like it at times, 45 to 50 percent of the "other" drivers on the road at any given time are not suffering from impaired reasoning and 60 to 67 percent are not truly in a confused state.

If the numbers below were the norm, instead of the exception, the boundaries of normality would have to be reconsidered in all of humankind.  What we know of human anatomy, physiology and psychology would no longer be valid.
