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.

Dr. William Chamberlin discusses the dysfunctional immune response of Crohn’s disease patients and a new treatment that is in development to remedy this genetic malady. EpiBro is a synthetic steroid, and it attempts to fix the dysfunction in Crohn’s disease by enhancing the innate immune response. Dr. Chamberlin terms it “Prednisone without the side effects.” Hear the story of how this drug, initially developed to treat AIDS infections, could now be utilized to help Crohn’s disease patients as well.
