Trying to understand...

Hi, I'm trying to understand this, hope someone out there can help me:
I understand that the the primary objective in treating Sjogren's is "managing the symptoms". However, if the disease is actually attacking our moisture glands shouldn't we target our efforts on stopping the attack?
If we only treat the appearing symptoms won't the disease just continue to wreak havoc on out system damaging our cells beyond repair?

My personal belief is that scientists will only really understand this system, which is fundamental to all the workings of the human body, when they start to understand its nature as well as its functions. It all gets a bit mystical from that point, and the scientific community is well-known for its culture of ridicule. But then that didn't stop philosopher-physicists from branching into quantum theory a century ago - and they received a lot of put-downs from Newtonian physicists too. Those quantum theorists were the first to start realising that we don't actually understand the rules of the Universe at all, but we're often prevented from progressing further because we think we do. Unfortunately, most medical people are even more blinkered than those Newtonian physicists, so I don't think there'll be any major breakthrough on the immune system in our lifetime... well, certainly not in mine!
