From the Nutritional Immunology and Molecular Medicine Laboratory at Virginia Tech:
The Nutritional Immunology and Molecular Medicine Laboratory (NIMML) research team at Virginia Tech has discovered important new information on the efficacy of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in treating Crohn’s disease, a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). CLA is a naturally occurring acid found in meat and dairy products known for its anti-cancer and immune modulatory properties.

Most of us with uc or crohns can’t have milk.
NJ,
If this really turns out to be a useful treatment, I suspect that the company that sponsored the study will produce a CLA pill.

I also believe that the study indicate the acid’s efficacy, not the addition of eating more meat or dairy. I’m sure they would extract the CLA for treatment purposes. It’s an exciting prospect as many current therapies are a hit or a miss.
I wish they would have discovered this many years ago so it could have benefited you.
Zebro1,
Thanks, I appreciate that.

The CLA in the study was the supplement Tonalin. But Tonalin is derived from safflower oil and has some challenges. Its much better to get your CLA from grass fed animals. Unless its from a grass fed source, there is little or no CLA. The best sources are: marrow bones, butter/ghee…higher fat ground beef and milk. If you can get it, use raw/grass fed milk to make kefir – a wonderful source of probiotics & CLA.
