Key Points from Prof. Thomas Borody’s 2008 Interview on MAP and Crohn’s | Web Admin
Many of you may have already watched Prof. Thomas Borody’s nine part video series in which he discusses the role of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) in Crohn’s disease and answers a myriad of questions. The series, which is about 90 minutes, is still relevant today, though some information may be outdated. For those who don’t have the time to watch it in its entirety, we’ve done our best to summarize some of the key points. We’d encourage you to see for yourself what Prof. Borody has to say, and why his approach is resulting in a much higher rate of remission than any other Crohn’s disease therapy.

In this first video, Dr. William Chamberlin presents an overview of Crohn’s disease and outlines the research supporting a causal role by Mycobacterium avium ssp paratuberculosis. This is just a preview of things to come. Additional videos will be available shortly.
Dr. Collins, a veterinarian from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, discusses the crossover between human medicine and animal medicine. He makes a compelling argument that the MAP bacteria cross from cattle to humans and should be recognized as a zoonotic infection.
Dr. Amy Hermon-Taylor discusses the need for a specific diagnostic process to isolate the MAP infection in patients with Crohn’s disease. Without a specific, fast and reliable diagnostic process or procedure, MAP will continue to be an unconfirmed causative agent in Crohn’s disease. If it can’t be measured, it can’t be controlled.
