Book excerpt: A Cure for Crohn's is a true life medical mystery of how the cause of a disease which affects 1.5 million Americans, mostly adolescents, has been kept undercover from the public.An identical disease occurs in cattle, called "Johne's disease" (pronounced Yo-nee's), which is caused by a bacterium, mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis, or "MAP." The bacterium is carried by flocks of migrating birds, which contaminate the pasturelands, causing Johne's disease in dairy cattle. MAP is then secreted in the cow's milk, finds its way into consumer milk products, and causes Crohn's disease in susceptible individuals. Supposedly to avert a public panic, the link between Johne's disease, Crohn's disease, and milk has been suppressed by government agencies. Originally, MAP could not be seen by conventional microscopy in Crohn's disease specimens, and the theory was dismissed as fearmongering. However, with more modern DNA analysis, MAP's genetic fingerprints have been identified in practically every Crohn's disease specimen examined. Finally, the perpetrator has been uncovered. Tel Aviv's RedHill Biopharma has developed an antibiotic cocktail - designated RHB-104 - which is effective against MAP- and Crohn's disease. The results from the first Phase 3 clinical trial, released in December 2020, were a spectacular success. At last the real cause of Crohn's disease has been proven and an effective treatment is emerging. At last - A Cure for Crohn's.
