Dark Side of Crohn’s Disease —A Journey of Prevention and Cure

In December of 2012, an unexpected event sent shockwaves through the world of veterinary research. The veterinary researchers and administrative directors of the world-renowned Veterinary Research Institute in the Czech Republic suddenly found themselves suspended from their positions without explanation. Professor Karel Hruska would write: “Details are not needed. Nobody would believe them. It is a cruel life story like an absurd theatre”. In 2021, the U.S. delegation to the United Nations-affiliated World Health Assembly shocked the world when it attempted to prevent ratification of a resolution stating that mother’s milk is the healthiest for babies and that countries should strive to limit inaccurate and misleading marketing of breast milk substitutes. In this groundbreaking book, ‘The Prevention and Therapy of Crohn’s Disease,” Dr. Gilles R. G. Monif details the untold story of Crohn’s disease, its origins, its dietary treatment, prevention, potential cure, and the reasons that Crohn’s disease pandemic should have never been.

Dr. Monif emphasizes the importance of Prevention, the crown jewel of medicine. He explains that when Prevention is done correctly, Diagnosis and Therapy are rendered obsolete. But how can Crohn’s Disease be prevented? Monif presents a surprisingly simple answer: breastfeeding newborn infants for the first three to four weeks of life. This is not new knowledge, just unaccepted knowledge. Understanding WHY breastfeeding is preventive has unlocked critical advances in therapy management that, if pushed, potentially stand to result in permanent remission /cures of Crohn’s disease.

Training in internal medicine, pathology, virology, obstetrics and gynecology, and veterinary medicine paved the way for Dr. Monif’s profound insights into Crohn’s Disease. In ‘The Prevention and Therapy of Crohn’s Disease”, Monif reveals the pivotal moments in his career, including his time at Bellevue Hospital and the National Institutes of Health, where he gained crucial knowledge about infectious diseases and acquired immunity. These experiences laid the foundation for what would become the Hruska Postulate for Crohn’s Disease.
