What these diseases have in common is they are considered to be auto immune diseases and they respond favorably to diet and anti yeast treatment. My question would be would leprosy be somehow caused by mycotoxins? I enjoyed your post even all the technical or medical jargon. Keep up the good work. One more comment on a comment that was speaking on the crohns connection to long term antibiotic use. We all have long term antibiotic usage if we eat meat that's not organic. 70% of all antibiotics are feed to the animals we eat.

You have put together an amazing amount of literature. As a general comment, I'm guessing I'm less familiar with MAP-specific issues than you are, but apparently clofazimine (an antibiotic frequently used to combat mycobacterial infections) was found to be effective against Crohn's in a recent review. Here is the URL for the journal article and abstract: http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/649923 And here is the URL of my summary at Crohn's Today: http://crohnstoday.com/long-term-antibiotic-treatment-and-crohns-disease/ Your Web site is a great resource!
