Basically, the ultimate cure for Alopecia Areata would be to "tell" or "inform" the T-lymphocytes of our body (Specifically those who are targeting our hair follicles) that the "social security number" of hair follicle tissues are of our own body and NOT foreign.
So, should we strengthen our immune system?
Yes, the T-lymphocytes still plays a great role in our well being and defense mechanism against specific bacteria, viruses and prevent rapid proliferation of mutated cells (cancerous).
Therefore, systemic steroidal treatments are not encouraged to treat Alopecia Areata in long term, as it would "weaken" the ENTIRE Immune System. Its like, SHUTTING off the COUNTRY's entire police force because a few police made a mistake and arrested THE COUNTRY's own citizens as illegal immigrants.
