OT - Is this the bacteria responsible for Crohn's?

[Guest guest]

I came across this article on google and it's definitely not the only source backing this claim.

Apparently scientists are starting to come around and develop vaccines and new therapies for a harmful bacteria thought to have been transmitted to Crohn's patients by milk. It's called Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis -- wow, that's a mouthful.If so, this is some really uplifting news -- hopefully it won't have illegal additives because apparently the new medicine is in the final stage of trials.This could also explain why some of us are having a harder time on the diet -- apparently this is one of the toughest bacteria to kill -- most antibiotics have a tough time with it. If so, the only thing we can do if we are struggling is to just hang tight -- eventually the diet will starve it out.http://www.nzfsa.govt.nz/consumers/animal-disease-affecting-human/map-crohns-disease/index.htm

I've heard about this on other forums.  What I don't get is why if two siblings drink the same milk, why does one get crohn's and the other is completely fine?

I thought about that and looked up some other sources related to this bacteria-find. This is apparently where they think genetics plays a role -- some people are more susceptible to this bacteria than others.
