All autoimmune disease is the result of molecular mimicry. Non-self proteins mimic self proteins. The body attacks the non-self proteins, and attacks all the tissue it compromises. The trick is identifying the non-self proteins and eliminating them.
Chron's disease has an extremely strong correlation with ingestion of 1) sugar, and 2) grassy grains (wheat, barley, rye and oats). The sugar grows microorganisms. The body recognizes the microorganisms by certain protein signatures. Some bodies recognize some proteins, other bodies recognize other proteins.
The body attacks the microorganism and the affected tissue based on the protein signature. When we ingest proteins which express the same signatures, it sets up the same response.
