It is in a gene called PTPN2\/22.<\/p>\n<p>Of these, 40% were infected with MAP.<\/p>\n<p>From these findings, they concluded that people with a PTPN2\/22 mutation who are then exposed to MAP have a higher risk than the general population to develop rheumatoid arthritis.<\/p>\n<p>Being medical scientists, they are obviously thinking in the direction of treating people with rheumatoid arthritis with antibiotics, as doctors have already started doing with Crohn&#8217;s disease patients.<\/p>\n<p>But since there are already so many antibiotics around in the world that bacteria are increasingly becoming resistant to them, it is hardly a good idea to stuff more of them into our bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, as with Crohn&#8217;s disease, antibiotics against MAP may not stop the arthritis, but simply control the symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Crohn&#8217;s disease patients must remain on the antibiotics permanently, and these antibiotics puts patients at risk of colitis, which must then be treated with another antibiotic.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, the better approach may be to find out whether you have the PTPN2\/22 gene mutation, and to then steer clear of milk and beef.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with MAP is that, unlike other bacteria, it is heat resistant and not killed by cooking, pasteurization, and other common food processing methods.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blueheronhealthnews.com\/health\/?page_id=603\">The real takeaway of this study is that arthritis is preventable and curable using simple lifestyle changes.
