Severe Crohn's
Hi there

Crohn's disease is caused by an organism known as myco-bacterium paratubercolosis.

Crohns disease can affect any part of the digestive tract but is usually found in the small intestine and causes inflammation, deep ulcers and scarring to the intestinal wall. The main symptoms are tiredness, urgent diarrhea and loss of weight.

Scientists at St Georges hospital in London are claiming there is a link between Crohns disease that affects more than 40,000 people in the UK - and drinking milk.

Professor John Hermon-Taylor, a surgeon, and his team have reported finding traces of Myco-bacterium paratubercolosis in two thirds of the intestinal tissue removed from Crohns patients after surgery.
They have also found the organism in supplies of whole,pasteurised milk.
Myco-bacterium paratubercolosis is found in cattle, sheep and, I believe, goats.
In these animals it causes a disease called Johne's.
The general idea is that this bacteria can and does survive pasteurisation of milk and passes fom the cow to humans.
Pretty scary stuff, but not surprising.
We know that the growth hormones cattle are injected with, survive both pasteurisation and digestion in people, and so do anti biotics and weedkillers, pus
cells and a range of other 'goodies', icluding cows excrement, so why not Myco-bacterium paratubercolosis?

The drugs you mention, like Humira has dangerous side effects. Serious infections have happened in patients taking HUMIRA. These infections include tuberculosis (TB) and infections caused by viruses, fungi, or bacteria that have spread throughout the body. Some patients have died from these infections.
I am not a doctor, so I don't deal in drugs but should you be taking drugs for Myco-bacterium paratubercolosis that, as a side effect could cause tubercolosis?
The bacteria is so similar that it needs a real good expert to even be able to see the minute difference.
Para tuberculosis means like tuberculosis, and for quite a while it was thought to be the same.
I would be too scared to even look at milk leave alone drinking the stuff.
My advise to you would be;
Avoid anything that comes out of a cow!!!!

Good luck

Has your doctor checked to see if you have some type of fistula? Mine were external, in the rectal area, but perhaps yours is internal.
