Crohn's disease and colitis are painful, often debilitating, inflammatory diseases of the intestinal tract. Crohn's affects at least 500,000 Americans, and millions more worldwide. Sadly, this condition can be termed "a disease of the young" because it primarily targets young people in the prime of life, between the ages of 15 and 25. WHAT ARE SYMPTOMS OF CROHN'S DISEASE AND COLITIS Abdominal pain Diarrhea Weight loss Poor appetite Fever Night sweats Rectal pain Rectal bleeding. Crohn's is mostly caused by a bacteria. Colitis by a virus. With Crohn's, one theory is that it is passed to humans in milk, suggesting that it may be caused by a bacterium. Researchers found Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) bacteria in 92% of patients with the disease. The discovery that the MAP bug is present in the vast majority of Crohn's sufferers means it is almost certainly causing the intestinal inflammation. Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) causes Johne's Disease in many species of ruminants. Johne's disease (pronounced "Yone-es") or paratuberculosis is an incurable wasting disease of adult cattle that is being increasingly recognized in the United States. Since prevalence rates in U.S.-slaughtered cows range from 2 to 18 percent, Johne's disease is now considered a major problem. It is of more concern in dairy herds than beef operations since there are a larger percentage of cases in the dairy cattle population than in beef. This difference is probably unrelated to specific breed susceptibility but reflects differences in management practices and close confinement, both of which favor easier transmission of the organism. Therefore, the major problem is the infected dairy herd. According to a study conducted by the USDA in 1996, in the United States, between 20% and 40% of dairy cattle herds are infected with MAP. (Results of a new USDA survey will be published in 2003 based on data collected in 2002. With Johne's disease increasing at an alarming rate, undoubtedly the new figures will be higher, perhaps significantly higher, than those in 1996.) Since MAP is not classified as a human pathogen, meat, milk and other products from animals infected with MAP may be continually entering the human food chain. There is a wealth of evidence which appears to indicate that MAP is capable of surviving the food processing methods that we employ to protect us from disease, such as cooking and pasteurization. Crohn's disease is also known as a "wasting" disorder in which the immune system no longer functions properly. The numerous symptoms experienced happen because the body virtually "shuts down." The immune system is activated only when the body is exposed to harmful invaders. In patients with IBD, however, the immune system is abnormally and chronically activated in the absence of any known invader. The continued abnormal activation of the immune system results in chronic inflammation and ulceration. Concerns about MAP and the scientific studies which suggest a connection to Crohn's disease in humans raise extremely grave concerns about food safety. What are the chances that live MAP is in our food?It is an undisputed scientific fact that live MAP is excreted in the milk of infected cattle. Terrifyingly enough, scientific studies published in peer-reviewed journals have determined that MAP may be capable of surviving U.S. pasteurization standards. As a bit of history, in 1993, the first scientific study was published indicating that MAP may survive pasteurization standards used in the U.S. This study was ignored by federal agencies responsible for food safety in the U.S. Much later, in 1998 when University of Wisconsin researchers published their findings that MAP was able to survive current U.S. pasteurization standards; this study was again ignored by U.S. Federal Agencies cognizant of food safety. All in all, during the period 1993 through 2000 -- seven long years -- nine (9) scientific studies came in from the U.S. and around the world which suggested that MAP may survive current U.S. pasteurization standards/practices, and all of them were tossed to the side, ignored by cognizant U.S. Federal Agencies such as USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration). There is a rapidly growing body of scientific evidence, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, which suggests that human infection with the Mycobacterium known as Mycobacterium avium, subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is causing some, and possibly all, cases of Crohn's disease. A summary of peer-reviewed and published scientific evidence is presented below: Numerous diseases in cattle can be passed to human beings through cattle/cattle products (e.g. tuberculosis) MAP is a pathogenic (disease-causing) bacterium, which causes chronic intestinal disease in a wide range of animals, including sub-human primates and cattle. MAP causes Johne's Disease in cattle. MAP (Johne's Disease) infection in cattle bears remarkable clinical similarity to Crohn's disease in humans (e.g. chronic or intermittent diarrhea, ileum/intestinal/systemic involvement, wasting, immune system reaction, etc.). MAP is excreted in the milk of dairy cattle infected with Johne's Disease (MAP infection) MAP in milk may survive pasteurization. MAP infection (Johne's disease) prevalence is increasing in cattle. Similarly, the prevalence of Crohn's disease is reported to be increasing in human beings. MAP has been found in Crohn's disease patients by bacteriologic culture. MAP has been found in Crohn's disease/IBD patients by genetic probes (including both DNA, and RNA). MAP found in Crohn's disease patients is of the Bovine (cattle) subtype, meaning of "bovine origin" Profound remissions in Crohn's disease patients have been induced using anti-mycobacterium drug therapy which has been used effectively against MAP. (Note: One study alone documented profound remission in over 80% of Crohn's disease patients using anti-mycobacterium drugs which has affectivity against MAP) Colitis Caused By A VirusSimilarly, researchers have found that colitis is mostly caused by a virus. Both the virus and the MAP bacteria release toxins (poisons), which attack the wall of the intestine and may cause the damage seen in Crohn's or colitis. If toxins were absorbed into the bloodstream, it might explain the symptoms that occur outside the intestine such as arthritis, uveitis and skin lesions. IMMUNE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONAnother problem associated with Crohn's Disease and colitis is a disturbed immune system. The immune system is composed of immune cells and the proteins that these immune cells produce. Normally, these cells and proteins defend the body against harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other foreign invaders. Activation of the immune system causes inflammation within the tissues where the activation occurs. (Inflammation is an important mechanism of defense used by the immune system.) The many other new types of health problems indicate that human autoimmune functions are severely compromised. Observers think that the lack of probiotic-type, beneficial gut bacteria is part of the cause. Over 400 distinct species of microorganisms inhabit the human digestive tract, and their collective quantity far exceeds the number of physiological tissue cells. These friendly microorganisms are responsible for numerous essential body operations, including maintaining the chemical and hormonal balance, preventing infiltration of harmful bacteria, yeasts, viruses, molds, and other parasites, producing and regulating vitamins, stimulating the function of the entire digestive system, and promoting proper immune function.
