If the reasons for things were undiscoverable, all would be lost! Progress in science would be impossible. Someday, I'm sure, a breakthrough will occur in understanding the pathological basis of Crohn's (and ulcerative colitis), and it will suggest new therapeutic approaches. Meanwhile, the discovery that certain drugs and procedures can help is of encouraging significance to medicine. I have no doubt that more will be discovered, and we're all eager for answers. We must look for "the hows" as well as treatments. -- Marshall Price of Miami Known to Yahoo as d021317c

They are funded to produce profitable .. drugs. They look and see what .. works .. They are not interested in .. why. They may KNOW why but that is not funded and the hypothesis needs to be worked on and that is not what they are paid to .. do. You can see in MANY working scientists their abilities are curtailed by the fact they have had to work in OTHER fields of research CONTRARY to the time they could spend ON their hypothesis .. I showed this SPECIFICALLY in a study in which the researcher / drug company was looking for a role of iron in multiple sclerosis and WHILE doing this discovered .. something. He quit his work it seemed INTO the 'iron end' and the drug was developed. Whether he continued in trying to find 'why' .. and had the MONEY to wonder 'why' .. Nobody is paying him to wonder .. why. The only way he can further the hypothesis is by the open SHARING of information as we seem to be doing now. Then if HE personally doesn't have the time or money to continue in this work then the public sharing of the information just may well .. getter done. HE personally may not become the 'gotoguy' but I doubt if in the big scheme of things that wasn't what was pushing him in the first place. Imho .. A little detective work now can go a long way because they are .. writing stuff down. Who loves ya.

From: news.chi.sbcglobal.net on 8 Nov 2008 01:46 It is allright not always to know why a drug works as it does. Or we would miss out many good drugs. But when a drug has deadly side effects that can be noted by the astute, it is time to ban that drug. My theory on the cause of crohns cannot ever be proven how it works (at least I don't think it could). Words fail me for the moment. Crohns is a forever plague affecting thousands. And an ordinary person cannot convince barely anyone that it is harmful. Science simply does not apply here. Does that mean we should let it continue what the eye cannot see. Gail
