ation. MyocondaR is based on the proposition that MAP infection is a significant factor in Crohn's Disease. Prof. Borody has long been at the forefront of this approach, which is gaining increasing acceptance among gastrointestinal specialists worldwide. Prof. Borody has published significant data demonstrating that patients treated with anti-MAP combination therapy such as that found in MyocondaR experience long-term remission of clinical symptoms and inflammation, some for up to nine years. About Crohn's Disease Crohn's Disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. The disease most commonly affects the lower small intestine and the large intestine. Symptoms of Crohn's Disease include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fever and weight loss. In severe cases, the intestine can become blocked or obstructed, requiring surgery.

Young patients with Crohn's Disease may also suffer growth retardation. Patients suffering Crohn's Disease are conventionally treated with drugs aimed at reducing inflammation and other associated symptoms. The cause of Crohn's Disease is unknown, thus the standard treatments aim to treat symptoms rather than the cause of the disease. The bacterium Mycobacterium avium ss. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the lead candidate as an infectious cause of Crohn's Disease. By targeting the MAP infection, MyocondaR is designed to address a possible source of the disease, rather than attempting to merely alleviate its symptoms.
