Crohn's Disease
Until recently, it was a disease no one wanted to talk about, or raise money for, or admit they had.ã But with the emergence of a new drug therapy, Remicaid, Crohn's disease is slowly coming out of the closet.ãã We'll meet three members of one family who've lived most of their adult lives with Crohn's.
Farming and Antibiotics
A lot of us are aware that antibiotics are over-prescribed, and that it's leading to the creation of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.ã And the World Health Organization has just reiterated that patients need to stop pressuring their doctors for drugs that won't fight their virus anyway.ã But the WHO also singled out farmers and veterinarians for contributing to the superbug problem.
