First, this result will have to be replicated numerous times to make sure the initial research results were reliable. Then the best approach to killing the pathogen will need to be determined so that the cure for Crohn's doesn't create more and possibly greater problems.

It would be nice if medical science moved faster but the process takes some time. Hopefully, in this case, not too long as I know a few people who suffer from Crohn's.

The walls are closing in!

Not to be a skeptic but this has been going on for 30 years. It’s mutant TB! It’s some strain of MAC! It’s residue of the measles vaccine! Rinse and repeat.

Not to quibble but the Endo photo sure looks like PMC to me. But whatever.

I am in 20+ years of remission from Crohn’s.

I had surgery, but since then have not had a relapse and take no medication. My diet is primarily food with no artificial additives.

It is getting more difficult to eat out because I find restaurants use artificial ingredients and flavoring, not to speak of the preservatives that is sprayed on food to make it last longer.

Stress also plays a factor in Crohn’s Disease. When I learned to give my burdens to the LORD, everything fell in line.

Stress plays a role in UC as well. I have had to learn how to handle stress, not perfectly, but it does make a difference.

One of my son’s has Crohn’s. He had a few inches of intestine removed when he was 18 which is holding it at bay.

Before my kid had his surgery, we really saw how stress exacerbated flareups, or flareups exacerbated stress.

He was only 16 or so, so he didn’t have such a great handle on his emotions. When he was really acting up, we’d ask if his Crohn’s was kicking up and then he’d look at us like “Oh, yeah, so it is.”

He’s an OTR trucker but is able to prepare most meals in his sleeper cab with a hot plate, microwave and air fryer.

It’s not uncommon for viral DNA and mRNA to get into cellular genetics, depending on source and destination. Out genome is full of bits and pieces of invading genetics. That may be part of the issue. Kind of like when the Epstein-Barr virus genome ends up in our lymphatics genome and for some it leads to Hoskins lymphoma.

From an article- “ Clonal viral genomes can be found in the HL tumor cells, the Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells (HRS). The latent infection results in expression of the viral oncogenes LMP1 and LMP2A which contribute to generate the particular phenotype of the HRS cells. EBV does not only undergo epigenetic changes of its genome during latency, but also induces epigenetic changes in the host genome.”

Hence the entire mRNA can’t enter cellular DNA was just a flat out lie. It may not or it may. You have to test over periods of time and over a large sample to know that answer. The NIH/CDC/FDA gave a very misleading answer that was not based on the science of testing.

“Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence.”
