SSI vaccine?

[binibeng]

I just saw this news:
http://globalnews.ca/news/606100/new-clinical-trial-for-Crohn's-disease/

The theory of "too clean environment" made some sense to me. I immigrated to Canada about 10 years ago from China and I started developing bowl issue 6-7 years ago. The environmental difference is huge between the two countries. For example, I used to have asthma in China and after getting here, it's completely gone. Crohn's disease is an extremely rare disease in China and people are exposed to way more bacteria and viruses than here. Of coz all these are just my speculation...

Some video from people participating in the trial:

Anyone heard about anything else about this? I am just wondering the credibility of this... But at the least, this offers hope for all of us crohn's patients!

I have heard so many ppl talking about the huge side effects of crohn's drugs. Things like SSI might be a good alternative to consider if the side effect really becomes an issue...

Hi binibeng,

I don't know if you are aware but we have a couple of very good threads about SSI that you may be interested in. This one in particular is an interview with the developer of SSI's and there is great discussion following it...

Also put SSI into the search and it will pull up other threads.
