While I won't thrash Ebringer like JROC is and I still think he may have been first to cue people into the Gut bacteria and AS and his idea has obviously helped many to his credit.
just to be clear i am only 'thrashing' his hypothesis why he still clings to it. as i previously stated
here - "if i did make a website it would not be anti-Ebringer. it would mention his pioneering work in drawing attention to the role of gut bacteria in AS, successful dietary trials in AS, and willingness to think outside the box. in the interests of a balanced perspective it would also mention the reasons why his theories never became accepted as new evidence emerged, science progressed and the titles of his journal articles morphed from 'AS is caused by klebsiella'(1992) to 'AS is linked to klebsiella'(2007)." and
here - "i salute Ebringer for his pioneering work in the gut and AS, and his willingness to experiment with dietary interventions."
