I take it. Suppose to be good for the heart, and cells. I can't

tell what it does but, heck, I only have one heart. :-)

Doctor recommended it. I take 2 capsules every a.m. Each

capsule contains 30 UI's of vitamin E, and 30 mgs Coenzyme

Q10.

Amazing how everyone is so different when it comes to reacting to things. I

used to grind up flaxseed and ate it every day - like so many things did

nothing. I envy those of you who get some immediate reactions to the intake of

various meds/herbs/etc.. Count yourself as amongst the blessed (unless you have

a negative reaction!

prescriptions meds and now take only flaxseed oil (1T./day), glucosamine

Anyway, I do take coenzyme Q10. It is good for energy, thinking and everything

in the human body. A good read on that subject is: The Nutraceutical

Hi Mark,

It is sort of a balancing act when it comes to taking the

supplements.......how long do you take them before you discard them as

ineffective? It's hard to know. As a rule of thumb I would give any

supplement at least a two month trial. When Dr. Franco recommended

supplements for me he mentioned that I would not notice any improvemnt

for two months. By golly, he was right. I hadn't really paid any

attention to the calendar, but when I started to notice

improvement.....two months had gone by. The supplements I take are

mainly geared for muscle support because I have dermatomyositis. I do

take CoQ10 and have been without it for about a week and I did notice my

energy level is not what it could be.

take care, Connie

My naturopath said while grinding flaxseeds for some purposes is very good, to

have anti-inflammatory effects, you wouldn't be able to eat all you require.

For this purpose she said 1-2 tbsp of the flaxseed oil are needed daily.

Hi - What great news!!! No meds!!! Please let us know

how long you've had RA, your treatment plan, how long you've

been off the meds, etc. It's so encouraging for the rest of

us. By the way, if you've already told us and I missed your

post - sorry.

I might be a skeptic but I can’t see how it could cure cancer

but it will certainly ‘numb’ the pain.  The reason for my saying this is that

my father worked at a hospital in the terminally ill ward and they used the ‘green

weed’ there. 

It’s an interesting thought though but I can’t see how any form

of smoking could be good for you let alone cure anything.

Sorry, I forgot you could include this in cakes, cookies etc. In

fact there was a council in northern NSW some years ago that had a tea lady who

used to serve the council meetings with cookies made with marijuana.  Must have

been one very happy council.

As far as I know, it’s only legal here in say the hospital

situation for terminally ill but I may be wrong on that. It’d be interesting to

find out if it could help.

I tend to think outside the box and definitely agree that all

major pharmaceutical companies are in it for cash and most governments take tax

and money from the aforementioned. I also think that there is a natural cure

for mostly everything on the planet, it´s just finding the right plant, tree or

whatever. There seems to be substantial evidence here of a cover up/media

blackout from both lab tests from the 70´s and year 2000. Also it seems that

the pharmacies asked for a lab testing ban in the 70´s exclusively giving them

the power to try and create a synthetic replica or the THC in marijuana that

seems to shrink tumours. Why create a synthetic version, to patent it, tax it

and extort money from dying people.

Anyway that´s my take on it and wondered if anyone took hash or

marijuana that had polyps.

I agree with what you said about pharm companies, and think we ought to just legalize drugs and let the govt. tax them. But this is getting political.One reason I haven't tried pot, is that I think in some ways it weakens the immune system and I'm already prone to infections and colds. I'm not sure if there are any studies on this. I also get a bit of a pot hangover, but now with all the different strains available this could probably be avoided.

Hi Wayne,

Never had desensitization to any degree and have had about 7

surgeries. 

Prednisone has become a friend of sorts, i.e. I get my sense of

smell back and can breathe freely and can actually taste food.  Dangerous as I

can also put on weight.

I no longer work as a specialist teacher because of my health issues

but it’s a positive thing because if I lack sleep at night I can cat nap during

the day.

I take Nasonex which has kept the polyps at bay and allowed me

to have a little ‘liquid stress relief’ at night which keeps me going and much

more social.

Believe me Wayne, this dreaded disease is a nightmare but I’ve

found it easier to deal with if you try not to let it get you down. There’s no

cure but I know there are so many far worse off than us.

My sense of humor and laid back lifestyle now help me keep

things in prospective. One day there will be a cure!  Yes I’m an optimist.

Hello Wayne,You are right to believe that marijuana worsens Samter's. It has been shown that THC, the main psychoactive component of marijuana, increases the production of leukotrienes by white blood cells ; it therefore directly aggravates the inflammatory mechanism in the airways.

Abstract

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol

(THC), the major psychoactive component of marijuana, is known to inhibit a

variety of immune functions. However, the mechanisms of action of THC-induced

immunosuppression are unclear. Because THC is known to affect arachidonic acid

metabolism in non-lymphoid cells and because arachidonic acid metabolites are

important regulators of the immune response, a detailed examination of the

effects of THC on arachidonic acid metabolism in human peripheral blood

mononuclear cells (PBMC) was performed. THC increased the amount of label

released from PBMC prelabeled with [3H]-arachidonic acid. Further studies were

performed using RP-HPLC to determine whether the increase in label release from

cell membranes was due to the release of free [3H]-arachidonic acid or

metabolites. Our results indicated that THC increases the production of the

eicosanoid 12-HETE from PBMC. To determine whether other metabolites, such as

the leukotrienes, were also affected by THC, leukotriene B4 (LTB4) was measured

by enzyme immunoassay. THC was shown to increase markedly the production

of LTB4 from PBMC stimulated with the calcium ionophore A23187. These results

indicate that THC alters arachidonic acid metabolism in lymphocytes by

increasing the production of lipoxygenase products.
