Could salvestrols reduce Crohn's symptoms?

"Salvestrols: A New Perspective in Nutritional Research" in Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine (2007) "Salvestrol is a new pharmacological definition and it is derived from the Latin word salve, meaning to save. A new definition is necessitated because although these natural molecules come from diverse classes of chemicals, they do share a common pharmacological effect which is they are non-toxic dietary phytochemicals that will be activated to toxic metabolites by tumour specific enzymes, such as CYP1B1.Salvestrols belong to a group of phytochemicals called phytoalexins, which are produced by plants as a direct challenge by pathogenic organisms."

"More On Salvestrols" by Jane Thurnell-Read
"Unlike so many approaches to tumour eradication, salvestrol therapy has no effect on healthy cells, but only produces its deadly cocktail in unhealthy cells. It is also giving the body substances that should be present in the diet, but often aren't. It appears to be giving the body the necessary raw materials for it to use its own tumour destroying strategy.

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis tissues also produce the same enzyme [CYP1B1], so it may be that salvestrols also have a role to play in these distressing and painful complaints. Someone also suggested to me that salvestrols might be beneficial for people with candidiasis, because of the anti-fungal nature of salvestrols. We don't have any evidence on this at the moment, but it could be worth a try if you have a client with intractable candida problems."

The cells involved in Crohns Disease do express the same CYP1B1 enzyme that is found in tumour cells. So Crohns Disease should be amenable to salvestrol therapy. This simply involves taking 1 salvestrol platinum capsule daily. These are completely non-toxic and are safe to take even in high doses.
