I'm as puzzled by Crohn's as everybody else is, but your "theory," that
"everything is not known 'how' but just is," seems to be an attack on
the very foundation of science. 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.

This will only happen with a publicly funded system ..

Orrr .. the private citizen who keeps his eyes open ..

Drug companies are just that .

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.

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.
