Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Wow…thanks for this info, Ursula…I am going to forward it to my doc..my mother has a lot of problems with arthritis-maybe this would help her. From: Down Syndrome Treatment [mailto:Down Syndrome Treatment ] On Behalf Of Ursula Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 4:27 AM Down Syndrome Treatment Subject: Re: Help needed NOW/seizure? On a side note in reply to your statement about taking steroids for inflammation. Have you considered or heard about Serrapeptase? It has a very good reputation for anti-inflammatory action that at times supercedes that of regular anti-inflammatories and without all the side effects. I recently had a Laparopscopy looking for endometriosis (previously diagnosed by direct visualisation) and adhesions (heaps of previous surgery and every reason to suspect it would be found this time and need division). The ob-gyn found absolutely NO evidence of either of these and described my insides as 'beautiful'. This was 4 months after I started taking the Serrapeptase. It is apparently routinely used in Germany pre and post operatively and very routinely used in Asia. Worth looking into and considering.

She's had unbelievable problems with vitamin levels for many years now (due to malabsorbtion caused by IBD/which includes Crohn's and colitis et al). She has indeed been on new meds.....steroids...Entocort...which i'm not all that sure about. But it did succeed in restoring her absorbtion so that she's no longer constantly anemic and protein derived. In other words it cut the inflammation. But at what cost? Unfortunately there is no alternative right now except for chemo type drugs. She just got off a run of Augmentin a few weeks ago for the ear infection. > > Anyway she's still sleeping and very hot but not scorching like before....no more vomiting. I never knew a little piece of hot dog (organic of course) could fly so far across a room. We'll be getting her evaluated by neuro after this passes (Pleas Lord let it pass)Thank you all so much. I'm going to print out your research Kathy for the doc. > Sherry > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
