alternative drugs

[Diane]

I have read your posts about taking preventive drugs to prevent iritis flareups. Now that the drugs (Vioxx, etc.) have been taken off the shelves is there a natural alternative to these drugs. I have read a tiny bit about serrapeptase as an alternative to antiinflammatory drugs. Do you know anything about serrapeptase? I have a flareup about once a year that has been going on for about 9 years and I would sure like to stop the flareups. Thanks for all your information.

Celebrex is still available as are Indomethacin and Voltaren.

Voltaren gave me serious gut ulcers and Indomethacin is also known for doing serious damage to the human gut. That leaves Celebrex.

hello - I have suffered with idiopathic iritis for over five years. I was at the point where I could never wean myself off the steroidal eyedrops or I would flare up again. In June I reluctantly and skeptically began to visit a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor in Toronto. Besides acupuncture, he prescribed Ming Mu formula (along with varying other herbal supplements) and Serrapeptase. Though my eye is not 100%, it is greatly improved. I have not had to go back on the steroid drops now for three months or more. For me, that is remarkable. I have no idea how long I will take these supplements but, for now, I am relieved at the success I have had thus far.

Studies show that acupuncture does not beat placebo . I would say it is fraud. Im sorry your iritis is so chronic. Assuming your not a shill, try celebrex.
