New Light On the Genetic Basis of Inflammatory Diseases

Thanks for sharing that. It does seem like a lot of us seems to have developed Crohn's after a bacterial infection, and once the disease gets activated, it is difficulty to shut down. I don't have a science background so excuse my ignorance, but does that article seem to dispute the MAP theory....because the issue isn't an ongoing bacterial infection as much as activation of an over-active immune response long after it is appropriate.

It almost seems similar to PTSD....long after the initial trauma, the sufferer had a startle response and anxiety in situations where it is unnecessary. Just a thought.
