Don't know if anyone heard this...here's what I found on wiki.
Researchers at University College London have questioned the wisdom of suppressing the immune system in Crohn's, as the problem may be an underactive rather than an overactive immune system: Their study found that Crohn's patients showed an abnormally low response to an introduced infection, marked by a poor flow of blood to the wound, and the response improved when the patients were given sildenafil citrate.(viagra)

Interesting, innit?

FINALLY something I can enjoy about this disease!!!! If it works I will never EVER complain about taking my CD meds again. I have such a funny line for this but it is too "adult" for this forum. lol
