MAP found in sewage treatment works and river used for domestic water supply: Sediments from 9 of 10 major lakes receiving inflow from these catchments were positive, with sediment cores indicating deposition over at least 40 to 50 years. Two of 12 monthly 1-liter samples of effluent and a single 100-liter sample from the Ambleside sewage treatment works were positive for M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Since Lake Ambleside discharges into Lake Windermere, which is available for domestic supply, there is a potential for these organisms to cycle within human populations. MAP found in cow’s milk: These findings confirm that M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis is present in raw milk from subclinically infected dairy cows. The culture of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis in the Czech Republic from retail milk that had been pasteurized locally or commercially to the required national and European Union standards is in agreement with similar research on milk destined for consumers in the United Kingdom and the United States and shows that humans are being exposed to this chronic enteric pathogen by this route.

The cause of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Crohn?s disease (CD) is MAP (Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis) infection. The difference between IBS and CD is the level of inflammation caused by MAP; otherwise they are the same disease. MAP is also the cause of Johne?s disease (a severe inflammatory disease of cattle and other animals). It?s very well documented that MAP (Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis) has spread to humans, and some studies have found MAP in over 90% of Crohn?s sufferers and over 70% of IBS sufferers. But the real mystery is how MAP causes disease. That mystery has now been solved: MAP is acidogenic! MAP is an acid producer and functions in a similar, virulent way to Streptococcus mutans, the major cause of tooth decay. Streptococcus mutans cause tooth decay via two mechanisms: 1. They produce a sticky, extracellular, dextran-based polysaccharide that allows them to stick to each other and tooth surfaces. 2. They produce lactic acid from various sugars including glucose, fructose, lactose which lowers the pH at the tooth surface and causes demineralization of tooth enamel (tooth decay). Likewise, MAP causes disease by adhering to the intestinal lining and producing organic acid(s) that burn intestinal lining-tissues, leading to various levels of inflammation; from low-grade inflammation found in IBS to gut ulceration as seen in Crohn?s. Low-grade inflammation found in IBS causes abdominal pain, increased gut sensitivity, bloating and affects normal gut motility (bowel movement) leading to diarrhoea and constipation. Now let?s look at the evidence. I think the best way for me to demonstrate the overwhelming and indisputable evidence that MAP is the real cause of IBS and CD, is to ask obvious questions and answer them with relevant links to studies and other resources.
