chrons disease turns out to be fungal/bacterial infection!

this is like when they found out ulcers were caused by bacteria and not stress.

The gut microbiome is the new frontier. My doctor is heavily into that. There's evidence pointing to gut dysbiosis as a contributing factor in all autoimmune diseases.

Yeah I believe in it too, I think it's for reals

They also said they found the "gay" gene. Lol still waiting to have my "purpose" explained.

Looks like it needs to be snuffed out more:

In a response to Greally’s post, Ngun admitted that the study was underpowered. “The reality is that we had basically no funding,” he said. “The sample size was not what we wanted. But do I hold out for some impossible ideal or do I work with what I have? I chose the latter.” He also told Nature News that he plans to “replicate the study in a different group of twins and also determine whether the same marks are more common in gay men than in straight men in a large and diverse population.”

Great. Replication and verification are the cornerstones of science. But to replicate and verify, you need a sturdy preliminary finding upon which to build and expand—and that’s not the case here. It may seem like the noble choice to work with what you’ve got. But when what you’ve got are the makings of a fatally weak study, of the kind well known to cause problems in a field, it really is an option—perhaps the best option—to not do it at all. (The same could be said for journalists outside the conference choosing to cover the study based on a press release.)

It is. I know many who have put my particular AI and some others like Chron's into remission in large part with a specific diet, and reintroducing the right pro- and pre-biotics. Fermented foods (which were eaten a lot in previous generations) just aren't eaten much in today's western diet. We are even born now with messed up gut balance due to our mothers' diets and changing environments.

There's actually some research that defines which strains of probiotics work best with certain conditions.

thanks for this. my Virgo has crohns and we have seen to have some luck with the things we've tried. I'll probably try to get him to drink some Kombucha to see if he'll like it...

You're welcome but keep in mind that this is just new research info and a cure or anything extremely substantial is still a far ways off. But, it doesn't hurt to try something along these lines.

Diet will never be touted as a means to remission because the medical field doesn't recognize diet as affecting disease for yhe most part. What is considered a "healthy" diet even by many nutritionists isn't. For instance, grains are generally accepted as healthy and necessary, but are showing to be highly inflammatory. Seeds and raw nuts, same thing (irritating to the gut).

Again, probably thousands of people with autoimmune diseases are finding relief and remission with specific elimination/provocation diets. Unfortunately, research into this is generally not going to be funded because food can't be patented and much of the money available for research is provided by pharmaceutical companies.

Excuses excuses, just a whole lot of fancy talk to disguise the fact they don't know shiit.

He is saying that the information is not what the press reported it as, that the press over-reached when they originally reported. So, yes they "dont know shit" but shit was put in their mouths at the start when they didnt make those statements to begin with, they were misrepresented. But what they found is still new information, it is not breatkthrough information or a complete explanation as to origins and evolution of homosexuality, and additionally, no one is attacking or defending homosexuality in the process.
