Hi, anyone had experience with Serrapeptase (SP-zyme) natural anti-inflammatory tablet not available in Australia but apparently better than Celebrex, Ibrufen and the rest, but still doing same job. I have to find a drug by Monday to go with Herceptin to make sure the beast doesn't come back and apparently Aromasin which I was on before ,and did have a reoccurence, works better with Celebrex, my heart failure last year was put down to Celebrex so I am looking for a natural alternative. Some info on it.

Love & Hugs Lyn

Healing magic of the silk worm

Few materials on earth are as luxurious and highly covetted as silk, and few insects are as lucrative as the silk worm. Now research reveals that not only is the cocoon of this mysterious moth valuable, but the worm, itself, holds remarkable secrets. As the silk worm carefully spins its beautifully translucent cocoon (made from a single thread that’s 900 meters long) a natural enzyme is produced from bacteria found in its intestine. It is this enzyme that holds promise as a powerful healing agent.

Called Serrapeptase, the larvae’s enzyme has the unique ability to dissolve dead proteins and other non-living tissue without affecting living tissue. In the silk worm, Serrapeptase is used to dissolve the non-living cocoon, thereby allowing the worm to escape the cocoon and become ‘reborn’ as a moth.

Scientists have discovered that this enzyme has unique properties that may help humans experience a metamorphosis, too. In fact, Serrapeptase may become one of the most useful nutritional supplements due to its wide range of applications.

Some people are finding that the anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties of Serrapeptase make them refreshed, renewed and in some cases, pain-free. Serrapeptase has become a best-selling anti-inflammatory in Europe, with statistics showing that it outsells other forms of over-the-counter drugs such as Tylenol and Ibuprofen and prescription NSAIDs. And, unlike anti-inflammatory drugs but similar to other natural remedies, it is without side effects, and research shows it to be safe for use by everyone.

Serrapeptase is thought to work in three ways:

1. It may reduce inflammation by thinning the fluids formed from an injury, and by facilitating the fluid’s drainage. This in turn, also speeds tissue repair.

2. It may help alleviate pain by preventing the release of pain-inducing “amines”.

3. It may enhance cardiovascular health by breaking down fibrin, the protein by-products of blood coagulation. It is able to dissolve the fibrin and other dead or damaged tissue without harming living tissue. This could enable atheroscerotic plaque (which causes atherosclerosis) to be dissolved without causing harm to the inside of the arteries.

The late German physician, Dr. Hans Nieper used Serrapeptase to treat arterial blockages in his coronary patients. It is said to protect against stroke and is reportedly more effective and quicker than EDTA treatments in removing arterial plaque. It also may dissolve blood clots and cause varicose veins to shrink or diminish.

Clinical studies show that this unique substance induces “fibrinolytic” and prevents swelling and fluid retention in some human tissues. In addition to its inflammation-reducing properties, one of Serrapeptase’s most noted benefits is reduction of pain, due to its ability to reduce the release of pain-inducing amines from inflamed tissues. Physicians throughout Asia and Europe have recognized these benefits and are using it as an alternative to conventional medicine.

Serrapeptase is also being used as an alternative to antibiotics in some countries. It treats inflammatory disorders by not only fighting the inflammation, but also by relieving swelling, improving recovery time and stimulating the immune system. This substance also has a scavenging effect: it helps chelate heavy metals (grabs hold of metal molecules and carries them safely out of the body) and therefore assists the immune system. It has also been shown to address hormonal imbalances and speed wound and tissue repair time.

Another reported benefit of Serrapeptase is the successful treatment of fibrocystic breast disease. It has been shown to be effective for improvement of breast pain, breast swelling and induration (firmness). Researchers have concluded that it may also be effective for the treatment of breast engorgement.

Additionally, in clinical studies, Serrapeptase has been shown to benefit chronic sinusitis sufferers. In this condition, the mucus in patient’s nasal cavities is thickened and overly secreted. This thickening causes mucus to be expelled less frequently, which can cause pain and sinus congestion. Serrapeptase reduces the thickness of the mucus, helping it to be more easily eliminated. Respiratory diseases are characterized by increased production of dense mucus. Traditionally, muco-active drugs are prescribed to re-establish proper characteristics of the mucus to help them breathe easier. Some of these drugs, though, deplete the amount of mucus (which is not natural), whereas Serrapeptase alters the elasticity without depleting it.

Whether it is used for inflammatory disease or to prevent plaque buildup on the arteries, this substance is a completely natural choice. Due to its lack of side effects it may eventually replace harmful synthetic drugs.

Like a treasure buried inside a gilded tomb, the tiny larvae of the silk moth offers researchers a key in finding relief for inflammatory disease sufferers. Serrapeptase is found in health food stores and independent pharmacies.

Lyn, I don't know anything about Serrapeptase except what I just read in the article you attached. It almost sounds too good to be true, have you found any published clinical trial results on it?
What about using Arimidex instead of the Aromisin, and a different Cox2 inhibitor; I've read that some of the old standby's such as Ibuprofen work the same way with the main drawback being stomach issues which can be alleviated with an acid blocker such as Prilosec. Ask your doc if he thinks that's true, it would be interesting to know what our docs think about the old tried and true meds now that these newer miricle drugs have proven to be not so safe, and be sure and let us know what you end up with cause you're always teaching us new tricks :D

Love, Lolly

Cox 2 Inhibitor Update (http://www.ti.ubc.ca/pages/letter43.htm)

Hi Lyn,
Just trying to try out the "adding a hyperlink" feature, hope it works because I found an interesting article about the safety concerns regarding Celebrex, Viox, et al; just in case it doesn't work here is the address again and you can put it in the adderss field by hand:
