pretty cool !

around minute 3 explains t-cells, and then from minute 3 up to minute 4 it explains IBD, then it goes on to explain/show how inflammation damages the gut.

@Gabes...thanks for posting this! I'm going to have to watch it a few more times to fully understand but it definitely helps to have a visual aid! Very interesting.

Hi Gabes,

I felt like I was watching outer space through the Hubble camera. I am a visual person so I appreciated these graphics. Gut pathology is more complicated than I realized. This video explained the reason my gut is defective but at the end I was hoping for a stronger note of solution.

Thanks for posting,
Cory :coffee2:
