This is pretty incredible, there is news out of Scotland that they may
have just found a potential vaccine for Crohn's Disease that can be
used for both protecting against and TREATING those who have
Crohn's...

The article was posted by Scotsman News and has not gotten any
major press yet (so not sure how much credibility to give it)?

Anyways, the blog post is here:

Please discuss your thoughts here!

Good news indeed...but about time too !
Let's hope it's a complete success and becomes widely available real soon, like...yesterday.

Ive been following this story for quite a while. I hope that for all
of us that it is true! Time will tell i guess. From what i understand
the team needs more funds to move the trials forward. I talked to
Tim Page, who is one of the major fundraisers for the vaccine ( wife has Crohn's). It sounds like they are moving the trials on to people that dont
have Crohns. Giving them the vaccine to check for side effects apparently. If that goes good, then they move on to trials with people that
have Crohns. Hope its the answer! From doing reasearch on it, it does make alot of sense.
