Easy. Drugs.
Personally I have Chrons Disease. Bad. Had it since I was a kid. Multiple surgeries. Over they years I had to take bega doses of steroids to combat it and lead a semi normal life.
I now have lots of nerve signal neuro problems. The doctors 35 years ago warned me that it was a tradeoff. I accepted it. But it was a known potential. the thing is that if they make it common knowledge that drugs are a significant contributor to all our ‘new’ medical issues, a multi trillion dollar industry takes a hit. Yes, we need all manner of drugs to deal with all manner of things to extend and improve the quality of our lives in comparison to what we as humans were designed for. But they do have a cost. and we cannot always predict what that cost will be.
Thalidamide anyone?
I’m sorry for your crohns. That has to be so hard. I know some of the digestive diseases are making progress with changes in the gut biome (population of bacteria). I don’t know if that would help with crohns as well?
