		<description>Your Web site is a great resource!  You have put together an amazing amount of literature.  As a general comment, I&#039;m guessing I&#039;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&#039;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&#039;s Today: http://crohnstoday.com/long-term-antibiotic-treatment-and-crohns-disease/</description>

I first came to know of you through Karen Meyer and PARA, years ago when I first came to research crohns for my daughter Cathy, 42, diagosed with crohns and a fistula at age 20...she has progressed through sulpha drugs to Asacol, MP-6, and 5 years of infusions of Remicade which now seems to be losing its effectiveness...I e-mailed Karen Meyer a few months ago and know that PARA has gone idle for many reasons...I write a column for a local paper in CA and I&#039;m not done yet...I&#039;ll be in touch--Many thanks for all your work over the years--Peter Bray, Benicia, CA, 1 hr NE of SF</description>

		<description>Hi Mairead,

The Crohn&#039;s/MMR hypothesis has been thoroughly discredited, along its principal proponent, Dr. Andrew Wakefield.

		<description>The Uk government department, DEFRA are publishing a report on herd prevalence of MAP on 3 December.

Food safety and health experts are to consider it. More impotant, in advance of publication of the report Dairy UK have organised a conference to discuss the results and control strategies. This is quite historic because until now they have been in denial!

The conference is at 76 portland place london and costs £125 plus tax.</description>

		<description>Hi Alan, on thursday 3rd December 2009, the ACMSF meets in London to hear a presentation regarding the recent UK MAP Dairy Herd Prevalence survey. The meeting is public and if anyone wants to go and make comments or ask questions, or just listen, you have to contact ACMSF secretary by friday 27 november.

The report has not been published yet, but when it is they say there is going to be a joint statement by Health Department, DEFRA and FSA. It is going to be a landmark report in the history of the crohns Map. Has the UK eradicated Johnes from the Dairy herd? We should know in less than two weeks!</description>
