Update: Rebuttal to the 2018 ACG Crohn’s Disease Guidelines

In March 2018, the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) released the 2018 Guidelines for the treatment of Crohn’s Disease (CD). Their conclusion, based on misinterpreted studies, that antimycobacterial therapy was not effective in inducing remission or mucosal healing in Crohn’s disease patients (page 498) prompted a response by some of the doctors in the Human Para community who have used AMAT with success. Read the letter that was published this week in the latest issue of Nature’s American Journal of Gastroenterology.

Berkeley Conference | Two Case Reports: Differing Antibiotic Regimens Resulting in Long-Term Mucosal Healing in Pediatric and Adult Crohn’s Patients

In this presentation, Dr. William Chamberlin describes two Crohn’s disease patients who have found long term healing. The first, an adult patient, has altered the traditional antibiotic regimen to avoid side effects and keep the disease in deep remission. The second is a 10 year old pediatric patient who experienced remarkable healing on an antibiotic regimen.

Berkeley Conference | Qu Biologics’ Goal: Curing Crohn’s Disease by Restoring Innate Immunity

Dr. Hal Gunn is the founder and CEO of Qu Biologics, and has dedicated his professional life to understanding how to optimally support the body’s immune response to chronic disease. Dr. Gunn is recognized both nationally and internationally as a leader in the field of supportive cancer care, and is the founder and past-CEO of InspireHealth, Canada’s leading supportive oncology centres. Dr. Gunn obtained his Doctorate of Medicine from the University of British Columbia and remains on faculty at UBC’s School of Medicine.

Berkeley Conference | Phase Assay Testing of Human PBMC’s

Dr. Irene Grant is a Professor of Microbiology and Food Safety at Queen’s University in Belfast.  Her long time research interest has been Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, its heat resistance, presence in milk and dairy products, and methods for its accurate detection and enumeration. She has published extensively on this subject and is recognized as an international authority on this potentially foodborne and zoonotic bacterium. In this presentation, Dr. Grant reports on some preliminary findings of the Crohn’s/MAP Testing Study funded by Human Para, and describes her phage assay technique used for the detection of MAP.

Berkeley Conference | Identifying and appraising the key variables that will determine if MAP is zoonotic

Dr. Robert Greenstein is a researcher in the Laboratory of Molecular Surgical Research at the VA Medical Center in Bronx, NY. He has written numerous publications on the subject of mycobacteria, and has recently turned his efforts toward the anti-MAP activity of existing Crohn’s disease therapies. Learn about Dr. Greenstein’s decades of work with MAP, conventional Crohn’s disease treatments and antibiotic resistance. His presentation concludes with a discussion of the proof needed to link MAP with Crohn’s, followed by an audience Q&A session.
