Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Digestive Diseases & Disorders, Digestive Diseases & Disorders Research, Health, Specifically Named Diseases
Mission: PARA is a patient advocacy group, comprised of lay persons with Crohn's disease, their families and friends. PARA was formed because we became aware of scientific evidence suggesting an infectious organism - a bacterium known as Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) - may be causing Crohn's disease. At its inception, PARA began contacting a handful of highly regarded researchers and physicians who, despite little or no available funding, were valiantly, sometimes at their own expense, continuing to pursue the truth about MAP and Crohn's disease. Most impressively, these researchers were amassing a rapidly growing body of evidence - evidence suggesting a causal link between MAP and Crohn's disease. That evidence has become increasingly more compelling. PARA's comprehensive web site is available for those interested in learning more about this extremely important issue, which has serious implications for the public health...and offers hope for those suffering from Crohn's disease. Please visit PARA's Web site at: http://www.crohns.org PARA is known as "The Cause for a Cure for Crohn's Disease."
