Hope for a cure for Crohn's Disease – Fundraising Update Aug 2014

Posted on by

Our Crohn’s MAP Vaccine (CMV) Heroes have so far raised £26,900* (That’s €33,812, US$45,368 and AU$48,631 as of 5/8/2014) which is fantastic, but more is needed to make the vaccine trial, with our hope for a cure for Crohn’s Disease, become reality! If you want to know more about our heroes or want to become one yourself, please visit: facebook.com/CrohnsMAPVaccineHeroes

Don’t think you could make a difference? Think of it like this:

Our heroes have already raised £26,900, our first target is £70,000. If everyone who ‘likes’ our ‘Crohn’s MAP Vaccine’ facebook page gave just £6.90* today we would hit that target and the new, simple, in clinic Crohn’s MAP Diagnostic Test would get underway.

Could the ultimate treatment for Crohn’s be sitting in the freezer at King’s College London?

Posted on by

What if Professor John Hermon-Taylor is right and the much needed answer for 4 million Crohn’s sufferers has been sitting in the freezer at Kings College London?

There is compelling evidence that Crohn’s Disease is caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). A treatment Vaccine against MAP is ready to go to human trials. This is currently the only treatment on the horizon which offers the hope of a cure for Crohn’s Disease, rather than temporary remission. The issue of whether Crohn’s is caused by MAP has divided the medical community for the last 101 years. For the sake of millions of people who live with the devastating effects of Crohn’s Disease, and their families, we must end the controversy now, either way, by doing a trial of the Crohn’s MAP Vaccine in humans.

Ongoing funding is sought to complete the development of the new MAP test and to support the Crohn’s MAP Vaccine phase 1 human trial, now underway at The Jenner Institute. PLEASE contact us if you are interested in donating towards the new MAP test or investing in the vaccine – and potentially a better life for millions of people currently suffering from Crohn’s Disease.
