I notice that kiny posted the letter to the author of the study, and then below the letter is posted part of the author's reply, but a portion of the author's reply is cut due to the on-line publication cutting off the article in the middle. Anyway, here is the full author reply along with the...

Thanks Shane, I'm glad it seems to be working well for you. I've been on prednisone for almost 2 years and Humira for about 6 months or so. The prednisone helps with my pain but the Humira does nothing for me. My doctor wants me to have a surgery real soon, stay on Humira, and try to get...

Shane, Will they give you the drug as long as you want to take it? Like, will they give it to you for free for the next several years until they launch it?

Anybody know of any good resources - threads, books, youtube, links, etc., which would offer good/non-toxic alternatives for household and personal cleaning agents, to get away from these products with detergents, surfactants and the like? I went shopping last night with the intent of replacing...

Yeah, the Swidinsky and Vera Loening–Baucke stuff (all about the mucus barrier as Mike stated) is amazing. I notice that there is a book coming out in April listed on Amazon, The Human Microbiota: How Microbial Communities Affect Health and Disease Swidinsky and Vera Loening–Baucke author...

I just happened to start with this cheese whey writeup, and it essentially had a conclusion that was positive for cheese whey being protective against colitis in rats. Just wanted to point out that the articles are apparently not all discussing negatives & risks; this one at least focuses on...

Sorry Jack, I'm not familiar with that one, but from what I see, poking around on the web a bit, it looks to me like this one is intended for UC. Print out the whole list and ask your doc. Or poke around and call or email the researchers or perhaps contact the pharma companies and inquire with...

Updating the list a bit as per this writeup I came acrosss from Sandborn: Dig Dis. 2012;30 Suppl 3:140-4. doi: 10.1159/000342742. Epub 2013 Jan 3. The future of inflammatory bowel disease therapy: where do we go from here?. Sandborn WJ. Source Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center, Division of...

Congrats Xiaofa. You're a diligent guy. I appreciate your efforts, and hope this publication benefits you, as well as the IBD community.

Thanks Susan2. That is a good insipirational piece of info to learn from you about weaning after 25 years. I've been on prednisone for about 1.5 years now although never at super high doses. My biggest problem is that I get massive inflammation if I attempt to lower my dose below 12mg, so I...

fyi - might be worth a discussion with your GI if you ever need a strategy for coming off prednisone and your IBD is quiescent. Aliment Pharmacol Ther. 2009 Nov 15;30(10):1078-86. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2036.2009.04136.x. Epub 2009 Sep 4. Withdrawal of corticosteroids in inflammatory bowel...

My gut hurts so bad any more, all I can think about is what the environmental variable(s) can be. I am really glad that kiny posted this; I read this study years ago and never really thought much about it after that because nobody is following up on this research. I emailed Dr. Hugot just the...

I was not content to ignore the apparent contradiction with respect to Dr. Graham indicating the above-mentioned conclusion and then agreeing to oversee Redhill's trial. I therefore emailed Dr. Graham requesting an explanation/confirmation whether he was indeed a pessimist on MAP. Dr. Graham...

Thanks Igor! Summary of the article which Igor posted above. It does not appear to be in PubMed yet; perhaps too new. Here's the full text link though if anyone is so inclined to bone up on another chapter in the story of how those nasty pathogens do their dirty work...

For folks who want to learn about natural forms of CLA along with other somewhat related factoids, here's a web site that is so dedicated for you to browse around. Some of you may be aware that CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is purported to be healthy for human consumption, and may be somewhat...

This is on Dr. Michelassi's web site, about halfway down. Apparently this info comes from the year 2000, so it may not be new news, but it might be a discussion point come surgery time for folks, or something to research further perhaps. If I understand correctly, this is the surgeon who...

I hear you brother! Fingers crossed for saving the rectum my friend!

I think I found someone who has bought Dave's book....not sure if Dave mentioned MAP though.. http://ehealthforum.com/health/the-big-myth-crohn-s-is-an-autoimmune-disease-t328495.html#axzz2IDwRCPHc jcox123 February 9th, 2012Any credible Crohn’s theory must take into account and logically...

Oh you did provide the full text, I overlooked it initially; how excellent you are! Here is what I find to be the key portion of the text: The cold chain hypothesis assumes that CD results of the chronic exposure to bacteria able to grow at low temperature and known as psychrotrophic bacteria...
