Is Inflammatory Bowel “Disease” an auto-immune “disease?” You mean our immune system just decided to attack our colon? Hmmm- why would the immune system do that? And why did it just start doing that in the 2nd part of the last century if it is genetic-people didn’t get crohn’s back then. You see folks- this is a knee jerk scientific reaction. Ok-check this out— the intestines are inflamed-and the immune system is very active in that area— sooo- therefore it must be the immune system doing it?” Wrong—- the immune system is active there-because it is TRYING TO HELP YOU-YOU HAVE AN INJURY-IT DOES NOT WANT YOU TO GET INFECTED – IT IS TRYING TO HEAL YOU. Ok- think of it this way– I cut my finger— the immune system jumps into action- just like the fire department and rushes to the location to put out the “fire”=inflammation. Thanks god for the immune system. Now–hmmm- did the immune system cut my finger?
Ok- today’s assignment- go on google- wikipedia- the library-and find medical research that definitively-categorically determines that there is SCIENTIFIC proof that any IBD- IBS-COLITIS-ULCERATIVE COLITIS-CROHN’S is an auto-immune disease. I will save you the time and effort- it does not exist. It ALWAYS says- “it is believed that- it is thought that- it is theorized that.” BTW-who cares- they are looking at the wrong end of the stick-just get it fixed-let the other guys figure what causes it. Which would you rather know- the cause or the CURE?
