SSI Treatment For Crohn's Remission?
The video above talks about Tyler Wilson's battle with Crohn's and how he is currently in remission after taking SSI (Site Specific Immunotherapies) that activate the body's natural anti-cancer immune response. SSI has been used in people who have cancer. Tyler has been in Crohn's remission with no symptoms for a year and a half. A small clinical trial was done with SSI and showed that 75% of people went into remission and everyone showing a response to the treatment. Clearly, many more people will need to be studied for SSI and the long-term safety of the treatment also has to be evaluated. Clinical trials are now underway that will take place in the fall of this year. Right now the clinical trial is not filled. For more information on the trial e-mail robfreeman@look.ca
