Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 My boss had to run and thrust the article in my face (he believes there's a magic pill to fix EVERYTHING). Not only was this done a trial basis, but the people had to be quarrantined because if anything, including urine and feces, got into the public water supply, it would manipulate the public at large. Once you stop taking the modified bacteria, it stops working. The people that were in the trial were begging to be let back in. I couldn't find the exact article, but here is the microbial attack plan on the PopSci site: http://www.popsci.com/scitech/gallery/2008-01/microbial-attack-plan Misty Kimble, LA CD Jan 5 08Roni wrote: The February edition of Popular Science magazine has an interesting article on crohns.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 One positive aspect to this research is it's not being funded by a drug company but by Eli Broad, a billionaire, who's son has crohns.Ron My boss had to run and thrust the article in my face (he believes there's a magic pill to fix EVERYTHING).

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 You're welcome Mara. I'm just worried this will be another bandaid to cover up the symptoms and not a cure.
