I'm listening to DIT right now and Dr. Jenkins says that desmolase = 17alpha-hydroxylase. This is wrong right? FA 2011 Pg. 291 says otherwise so a bit confused. Thanks in advance 🙂

Desmolase is an enzyme that converts cholesterol to pregnenolone that is then converted to androgens and cortisol by 17 a hydroxylase and other enzymes ..

another mistake i found in the 2010 videos is for where he says

"radiography reveals a "string-sign" in the terminal ileum total or subtotal atrophy of the small bowel villi, plasma cells and lymphocyte infiltration into the lamina propria and epithelium, and hyperplasia/elongation of crypts?"

He says it's Celiac sprue when it should be crohns, right?

that is like the 15th mistake i have noticed (how many did i not?)

he talks so dang fast so they can market the whole "15-day" shennanigans....i can do at most 2 per day and that is a 12 hour day for me

im glad i have the videos that are going around for it...if would be pissed if i paid for it..and only watched it once. You need to keep watching these over and over again for it to stick

It looks to me like he's actually combining the two. The 'string sign' is obviously seen the terminal ileum with Crohn's disease; subtotal atrophy of the small bowel villi is more with Celiac disease (and many times they don't specify what area of the small bowel); plasma cells and lymphocyte infiltrate into lamina propria is more Celiac; crypt elongation is Celiac. He never mentions noncaseating granulomas, transmural inflammation, bowel strictures, mucosal ulceration, etc. for Crohn's disease which are also defining characteristics.

It sounds like he isn't doing either of them justice, if you ask me.
