Fingers crossed, the more money flung at it the better, some will eventually stick.

Finally, someone is actually trying to cure the disease, or at least get to one of the potentially biggest contributor to the disease process.

Thank you for the link.

I'm happy to see multiple drugs and approaches being tried.

There should be a nice reward for a cure as it would save hugely, and not just financially! The person that finds a cure should be treated as a superhero! There are already plenty of band aides and snake oil.

There will still be debate even if the treatment works, since any number of organisms can be killed by that triple antibiotic therapy.

But who cares when people get better.

It's completely possible that they can one day cure people with crohn's disease without agreeing on the cause.

If clinical trials are starting now I wonder how long until it'll be avail if successful, article doesn't say, probably a few years though
