As vaccines are brought to our attention due to COVID 19 I thought I’d shine a light on the vaccine being developed for Crohns disease right here in the UK
We all know the simple fact that there is no cure for Crohns disease at the present time. I’m sure every person with Crohns has spent many hours searching the internet for a miracle cure, and let’s face it, some of the remedies that sellers are suggesting go from the obscure to the downright bazaar. Tree bark! Hook worms! (Disclaimer, I have myself tried hook worms), which on reflection shows how desperate I was to find the answer.
However, there is potential light at the end of a very dark tunnel for us Crohns suffers, it’s in the shape of a vaccine that’s being developed right here in the UK by one of the most dedicated, knowledgeable and compassionate HCP, His name is Professor Herman Taylor and he has dedicated his life’s work to helping Crohns suffers.
Before we talk about the Vaccine it’s important to understand how Prof Taylor and his team came to even consider developing a vaccine in the first place.
Well, there is no cure for crohn’s disease and no cause is officially recognized however prof Herman Taylors team believe there is compelling evidence pointing to MAP as the cause of Crohns disease.
MAP Facts
MAP is a type of bacteria its rather convoluted name is, microbacterium AVM paratuberculosis or MAP, in short it belongs to a family of bacteria called micro bacteria, which also includes tuberculosis and leprosy.
MAP is proven two cause Jones disease a form of inflammatory bowel disease affecting domestic lie Livestock that is strikingly similar to Crohns disease.
It appears that we are widely exposed to MAP from the food we eat, (Livestock) to the milk we drink. In fact, milk from infected animals often contains M A P and unfortunately the M a P is not killed off by the pasteurization process.
MAP is also present in the poo of infected animals, MAP has also been detected in our rivers and in one study from Lancaster University their research suggested that MAP is also present in our water system drinking water and its even been detected in shower heads.
MAP is incredibly difficult to detect in people because, get this, you cannot see it under an ordinary microscope, not only that, it’s very difficult to culture and grow.

So, Crohns is not technically an autoimmune disease?
It looks like us Crohns suffers have a wonky immune response to MAP, as When healthy people are exposed to MAP, their macrophages gobble up and digest MAP and their T-cells ‘see’ and eradicate any MAP-containing cells. When someone susceptible is exposed to MAP, it is a different story. Their macrophages eat MAP but cannot digest it and MAP remains, happily living inside our bodies. In addition, their T-cells are ‘blind’ to MAP; they cannot eradicate it and MAP is allowed to multiply unchecked, generating vast numbers of organisms inside the gut as well as other tissues (even inside the T-cells themselves). This is the person who develops Crohns Disease.

How does MAP actually cause disease?
MAP itself does not directly cause gross inflammation. Instead it initiates a cascade of events with disastrous consequences. The first is to cause dysregulation of the immune system, which then destabilises the gut wall, rendering it leaky. Leakiness of the gut wall allows it to be penetrated by other gut organisms (e.g. bacteria such as E.coli, yeasts and viruses) and irritant food residues. It is these secondary invaders and irritants that cause the massive inflammatory response which creates the Crohns pathology. The second is to damage and inflame the delicate nervous system in the gut wall, which makes the consequences of the immune dysregulation a lot worse.
Immunosuppressant’s can reduce Crohns symptoms by lessening the inflammatory reaction in the gut wall (some may also possess some direct anti-MAP activity). Antibiotics like metronidazole can reduce Crohns symptoms by killing off other bacteria which invade the gut wall. Bland diets can reduce Crohns symptoms by removing some of the irritants which trigger more inflammation, but unless you treat MAP it, you are only treating the mechanism and not the cause of Crohns Disease. That is why we need this therapeutic and preventative modern Vaccine.

I always look forward to the latest new on the Crohns MAP Vaccine, and just imagine for a second the positive impacted the vaccine could have on our lives. We are incredibly fortunate to have the world’s leading Crohns and vaccine specialist working together to deliver the vaccine. Unlike the COVID vaccine which has seen unprecedented cooperation and unlimited funds, the Crohns MAP vaccine requires funding at each stage of its development, so please tell your friends, neighbours and fundraisers to be part of the solution to this hideous disease.
