Hey everyone,
Has anyone out there heard anything about sequenced amino acid modulator (SAM) shots being used for Crohns? I have tried to research this online and so far haven't found anything useful.
My grandma has Celiac's, and has been very very restricted in her diet for 15 years... well, she recently was told to go see this allergy specialist that reccomended she get a shot that would 'make her able to eat whatever she wants within the hour'... sounds too good to be true, but so far (about 24hrs) it is working... she is eating wheat and milk and tons of stuff she couldn't before.
My grandpa mentioned my Crohns to this doctor (who I'm still researching the legitimacy of, but so far no bad record found, but can;t say I like that he's using non-FDA approved treatments), and he said that he thinks this SAM shot would basically fix my immune system to make it quit fighting my body. The way he described it was that while all the meds my traditional docs are giving me are aiming to kill my immune system, this drug would re-sequence it, so instead of my body reading the sequence like 'xyz' 'xyz' 'xyz' it would read it 'yxz' or something like that, and correct the problem that is causing the crohns...
I know I may not be de3scribing this correctly as I am still trying to find out more about it. In full disclosure I must admit my skeptisism about the fact it is being claimed that the only reason this treatment is not readily available and being used by docs in the u.s.a. is because the big drug companies won't be able to keep charging outrageous prices for 'treatment' if this is a 'cure'... sounds to conspiracy theory to me... but if ther is any validity to all this , it would be amzaing.
Anyone??
