No physician I know would want to take prednisone for more than 2 weeks. It works great in the short term for things such as poison ivy. The long term side effects of this drug are devastating to the body. We have seen people in nursing homes whose bodies are totally destroyed by prednisone. Some of the side effects, as listed in the Physician’s Desk Reference are as follows:
High Blood Pressure Fluid Retention Potassium Loss Muscle Weakness Osteoporosis including fracture of long bones and broken vertebrae Peptic Ulcers Intestinal Bleeding Thin Fragile Skin including increased bruising Moon Faces Poor Wound Healing Diabetes Cataracts Reduced Resistance to Infection
This is only a partial list of the devastating effects on the body by long term cortisone and prednisone usage. We have seen the effects of long term usage with many clients at Life Sources.
You can gradually taper off prednisone over a period of 3-6 months if you take the supplements we recommend. We suggest you follow “How To Supplement for Optimal Health” at the end of this paper. It is never too late. Most doctors are too busy and find it easier to simply renew prescriptions for cortisone and prednisone. We have asked patients to ask their doctors if they would take prednisone or cortisone for more than 6 months. If he/she would not, why are they prescribing it for their patients? Seems to us to be a very elementary question.
We recommend the following for tapering off prednisone and cortisone:
The Life Source’s Program for Health Maintenance Plus add the following for at least 3 months:
(Norwegian Shark Liver Oil) 1 capsule 3x daily before meals. Daily HealthFormula (A complete-complex formulation including Digestive
Enzymes, Amino Acids, Minerals and vitamins excluding Vitamin K, B-12 and Iron for those on heart medications) 2 capsules 3x daily.
3-5 capsules 3x daily on an empty stomach.
WARNING! If you have taken prednisone or cortisone for more than 6 months, DO NOT STOP TAKING IT WITHOUT THE HELP OF A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.
These pharmaceuticals should have been banned 25 or more years ago but it is common practice today.
