Crohn's disease is thought to be an autoimmune disease, in which the body's immune system attacks the gastrointestinal tract, causing inflammation; it is classified as a type of inflammatory bowel disease.

Probably this is not what you are looking for!
I was looking for an easy step by step guide with video and documents in order to help me understand better my condition with H Pylori. What I got was the result of internet searches for H Pylori, cancer? Kidney diseases? e.t.c.

I quess the author spent couple hours searching health document putting them together and then created numerous "products" to cover a large array of diseases to make some easy $.

As I am an international costumer the only hassle would be to return this title...
