Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (MAP) and Crohn's

From facebook:

February 2011.
Prof John Hermon Taylor has had a scientific breakthrough with a new Smart Test that detects &
quantifies the MAP found in Crohns Sufferers. A really important step that will also show that the New DNA Crohns Anti-MAP Vaccine works in Crohns Sufferers too.

April 2010
A grant has been given to our Prof JHT to test the new vaccine on cattle infected with MAP ( Crohns ) in animals it is called Johne's Disease.

Tim Page :
I am the founder of The Chronic Crohns Campaign UK, which is linked directly to Prof John Hermon Taylor at Kings College Hospital, London, where after 13 years of fund raising of private funds totalling over £2 million, we have spent £650.000 over the last 7 years developing a New DNA Crohns Vaccine, which is now going for human trials, testing, red tape through to licensing & then manufacture at a cost of around £1.5 million. Time, around 2 to 3 years hopefully, we really do need those funds to achieve this !!!

Bleda..

Tommy-you gave me a mission ;) If you go to this page http://www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/biohealth/research/nutritional/staff/research.html
you will find him named as 'research staff' and also as a 'visiting Professor' at King's College London.
Like I said, I believe that his research is independently funded and that maybe he has 'use' of the facilities there(?) and that is maybe why it doesn't come up as King's College' research as such.
Only my guess mind you, we can live in hope !!

What are the 3 antibiotics they generally use for Anti MAP..?
Clarithromycin, Rifabutin and what?

Regards.

Bleda..

But with those it may take a good two year to get rid or almost rid of the MAP..
And taking antibiotic for that long sure isn't that good.

I use silver all the time—my Samsung washing machine has a disinfectant silver ions option...lol.
I will not be ingesting it any time soon, because I don't want to turn blue. ;-)

I saw a guy on TV that was using it and it did indeed turn his skin blue.

Kind of good news ! I E-mailed John Hermon-Taylor at is address from King's College and I actualy got an anwer. Since it's an official address of the school web site.. It couldn't be made by a ''scammer''.

Is name was ''signed''. ''Have a good one.....v best....John H-T''
If it was really him, I don't know but I hope so !

Wouldn't that be fantastic ! That make me thing of that Facebook message : Healthy persons have tons of wishes, ill ones have only one main dream :`it's getting better..
This is SO true

Hello dear Professor
I'm a new to crohn for about 3 months.. Of course I've quickly learn that was a lifetime disease...
But after that, I though.. ''Even though there is actualy no cure for it.. They might find one one day !'' And started doing my own research about research. Let just say it wasn't really encouraging... Most of the major break-thrue were finding possible gene that might be responsible.. Far from a cure.. And finaly I found something about MAP and your researchs. Way more encouraging..! If that DNA vaccine could see the light I'd be more than happy. There wouldn't actually be words powerful enough to tell how happy I'd be.
Please continue your research ! I know they're thousands of peoples just like me that wish the same.. And not only ''crohnies'', peoples arround them that suffer from it too.
Thanks again for everything you've done already.
Please accept my best salutation to you and your team.
Someone who consider you a hero of our times!
Tommy

Dear Tom
Good to hear from you. So sorry about the wretched Crohn's.
Hope it is not too bad at the moment.
I attach some weekend reading if you have not seen it.
Have a good one.....v best....John H-T.

Half of it ! Since it wasn't new. I remember I had already red it somewhere.
