M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis as one cause of Crohn’s disease
Crohn’s disease has the potential to be a devastating autoimmune disorder where the body attacks its own GI tract. Like many other chronic diseases, much emphasis has been placed on finding an ineffective etiology to the onset of this disease. This overall supports this ineffective cause, and ties it very nicely to multiple causes of the disease. The interesting thing about functional medicine is that many of the therapies are similar–achieving optimal health is achieving optimal health, regardless of the cause that got the patient sick in the first place.
