British researchers detected Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) bacteria in 92 percent of patients with Crohn's disease, but in only 26 percent of patients in a control group. Other researchers have found viruses like CMV connected with inflammatory bowel disease.
So they concluded this bug must be causing the problem, and since it is in milk they recommended pasteurizing milk at even higher temperatures. Nice theory, but have they ever treated any patients with it?
No way.
If they did they would quickly find out that raw milk is actually one of the more profound healing agents in inflammatory bowel disease. Rather than causing it, raw milk causes the disease to go into remission.
Dangerous Grains are also another major reason why people acquire Crohn's disease.
Fish oil is another absolutely essential element of preventing and controlling inflammatory bowel disease.
