I'm Thinking Of Stopping Methotrexate Altogether, But What Can Replace This Drug?
Diet focused on many antioxidants
Big antioxidants for inflammation are Omega-3 and 6, Astaxanthin, Fucoxanthin (those come from seaweed); and Glutathione which must be taken with N-Acetyl Cysteine and Glycine (amino acids) to be absorbed. These have made a significant difference for me. Your turmeric must be high in curcuminoids, the active compound in turmeric that fights inflammation. Also, it is better absorbed and the curcuminoids work better when combined with pipperine, the active compound in black pepper. Sure, you can cook with these daily, but who wants curry every single day? Go online and check out LifeExtension. com. I get many of my supplements from them. They also have an excellent magazine that is free and put out every other month focusing on nutrition. Dont forget about the gut microbiome, paramount to health. Get a great probiotic that has at least 15 different species as well as a prebiotic component if you dont eat oats or other prebiotic foods daily. I get my probiotics and Omega-3 supplement from Garden of Life. Lastly, peptides are vital to connective tissue strength. They are loaded with amino acids for repairing cell damage. Bovine based is ideal, look for one that comes from the bones and connective tissue. You can get this in dissolvable flavorless powder form easily added to coffee, cereal, or baked food, etc. Bone Broth is another excellent source and can be made from scratch if cooking is your passion, or purchased pre-made and added to cooking.
It can be really helpful to get nutrition testing, much more extensive than standard CMP and CBC bloodwork as well as microbiome health tests. Many other blood tests can be done to indicate allergens, toxins, parasites, and hormones, all of which can lead to disease. Deep diving is not done by traditional Rheumatologists and other drs due to insurance mandates and corporate policies. So much more can be done. Yours in better health, P 😌🙏
They started me on that and I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the same time, it made me much worse and I almost died from it. My Neurologist give it to me and I was working in a Medical office at the time and I told him specifically not to give me that, my closest co-worker and friend came to see me on her lunch break and she called my parents right away and she was crying and said she is going to die if he doesn't stop this. I didn't know she called my parents at that time but they rushed out there and I asked them what was wrong and they said don't worry we're taking care of it right now and you're leaving this hospital, later that evening I was released, I went in weighing 100 pounds and came out weighing 167, I was hardly recognizable. That's when it was over for me, I only take Tumeric that's pure and natural for my pain and inflammation, I'm also on pain meds 2X a day from my Pain Specialist and I take Tylenol in between and nothing else, I'm looking into more option, my Pain Specialist says that all the put you on pain for fibromyalgia, spondolosis, spondolitis, ect is anti depressants most of the time and I don't want any part of that. I hope you find a good solution for yours but I'm never going back on any kinds of meds like those knowing what I had already knowin by working in a Medical Physicians office and a Specialist office at that. I hope you find the best natural solution that you can find, I get my Tumeric that's 95% per curcumminoid which is the best you can get and I get mine from the Alex Jones store, he has the best scientists and top companies make it, I highly recommend it to you if you want to go that way until you find a better solution. My spine has already fused itself together in my neck and the rest of my whole spine has bone spurs all in it and it's in terrible shape it has formanal narrowing and I also have Scoliosis, which doesn't make things any better. I really wish you well and I hope you can find a better solution than methotrexate
Supplements and anti inflammatory diet helps 👍
Anyone taking methotrexate NEEDS to get off of it!!! I was on that for psoriasis and found out that it is a TERRIBLE drug. Get off as soon as possible !!
