Serrapeptase and Nattokinase for Scars

Pay It Forward (PNW) on 03/12/2022

Scar Removal - Serrapeptase and Nattokinase. They degrade the protein fibrin which is the prime reason for scars. Even keloid scars. Additionally, they're both incredible for our cardiovascular systems. Serrapeptase can break the fibrin, which is accountable for clotting and forming the plaque. So it helps to remove diseased organic matter and blood clots. Nattokinase, on the other hand, keeps the cardiovascular system clean. It dissolves the excess amount of fibrin in the blood and reduces the risk of severe clotting. Nattokinase reduces the amount of LDL (low-density lipids) cholesterol and enhances the amount of HDL (high-density fat) cholesterol. Nattokinase helps lower blood pressure, maintains the viscosity of blood, and also improves blood flow circulation. I love them both!

*Note that Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme and MUST be taken on an empty stomach or it is useless, as it will go after any food instead of its intended target. Take 1 hr before food and 2 hrs after food. Bedtime works best for most. ♥

Serrapeptase for Scars

Linda (Washington) on 07/11/2021
5 out of 5 stars

I am absolutely convinced a digestive enzyme called serrapeptase is more than amazing for scar tissue.

In 2010, I was researching what I could to eliminate scar tissue due to having a double nerve surgery for the Guyon Canal (wrist) and the ulnar nerve moved to inside elbow. I had 2 IME Drs tell me if scar tissue in Guyon canal grew back it could eventually cause loss of use of my dominant hand (I have nerve damage to little finger and ring finger). I accidentally ran across Serrapeptase, which was well known and used in England and Europe; discovered by a famous German heart doctor that he would use on patients requiring bypass surgery. He would give them several months of Serrapeptase and retest the blockages and discovered this enzyme eats plaque in the arteries. He found he did not have to do the bypass surgeries. He found it ate scar tissue as well as lessened COPD to the point that folks could give up their oxygen tanks. serrapeptase.org and serrapeptase.info were the websites from across the pond I educated myself with. Serrapeptase is prescription only across the pond.

My story is I began taking it immediately finding it in a health food store. They sold very little because folks did not know about it in US, so was inexpensive.

I had had my appendix removed at age 3 resulting in a raised keloid (sp) scar as I grew. When I was 63, I discovered I no longer had the raised scar….it was a thin white line. I checked every scar I had and they all faded.

I had read on one of those two websites, that if the scar tissue is no longer there - the scar tissue is no longer pressing against nerves, resulting in lessened pain.

I recently listened to a podcast in which an 83 year old researcher was finding serrapeptase was eating the plagues in his beloved wife’s brain due to Alzheimer’s.

I take it every day and have since 2010. it works like Rid X in your home sewer system. It eats the garbage in our body and it is made from a protein in the stomach of the silkworm. The silkworm hibernates in a hardened cocoon and when it leaves it squirts the protein at this hardened shell to fly out from my understanding.

There is a very strong possibility it will heal the scars in your trachea of the scars.

Best wishes this will work for you. I so trust in it that I have not really read the latest information on serrapeptase….only that which I heard about the brain plaques.

Hello all,

A few years ago I got into an accident that completely devastated me. I've been doing a lot better mentally lately except this 2.5 inch scar on my face won't budge no matter what I try. I have tried every remedy on this site along with many others with no improvement including: castor oil packs, cocoa butter, vitamin E, coconut oil, banana peels, egg whites, honey, etc.

The scar looks like a knife attack running diagonally down my forehead between my brows and to the mid nose area. If I had money for plastic surgery to get a scar revision I'd probably try that route again. I did get a dermabrasion procedure on the scar a couple years ago that didn't help. Any and all advice would be appreciated. I never posted online about this before, but I noticed this is a very kind, caring community so felt comfortable posting here. Thank you. Karrie

Fulvic Acid for Internal Scar Tissue

Cinda W. (Newkirk Ok) on 10/03/2017

Internal scar tissue

For three years my husband has had to have a track or t-tube because of a shelf of scar tissue in his throat caused accidentally in hospital saving life from heart attack. We tried stabilized aloe, manuka honey, serrapeptise, nannapeptise, and all the blood tests to make sure his levels were good( 9 vile of blood and book of results). We backed off of everything except aloe, plant based vitamins, minerals etc. and as much organic food as possible

but then friend asked us to test a new product on our pasture and as I studied I told husband people were drinking it. Since it was plant based (liquid trees) called Fulvic and it was 28-30 which was a big thing. Anyway after last surgery a week ago the surgeon came out to say the shelf had dissolved and wondered what we did different. Looks like about to get it out. He is turning 70 soon.

Castor Oil Cured Tracheal Stenosis

Susi_nola (New Orleans, Louisiana) on 10/15/2016

My husband had tracheal stenosis after having a tracheotomy in the ICU for 6 weeks after colon cancer surgery complications, which means the build up of scar tissue in his airway. His tracheal stenosis got so bad that he had to have outpatient surgery 7 times. Like clockwork, 6 weeks after each surgery the scar tissue would inevitably return to such a point that my husband couldn't breathe, and he'd be back into another surgery. At one point he went into respiratory distress his airway was so closed. After the last surgery the doctor suggested we give him a permanent tracheotomy.

My husband is very active with hiking and other exercise, was in his early 40's at this point, and our child was 2, so this was absolutely out of the question. I looked up scar tissue remedies on Earth Clinic and found that applying Castor Oil to external scars had helped some people.

So my husband began rubbing a thick layer of cold pressed Castor Oil on his neck where his tracheotomy had been, and where the tracheal stenosis has been recurring. He did this in the morning and at night, tucking a washcloth into his shirt to keep the greasy oil off of his clothes. Miraculously, within 24 hours David's breathing started easing as if the scar tissue were disappearing. And within a couple of days his airway seemed completely open again. Since he started doing this, my husband has not had another surgery for tracheal stenosis. This is an incredible cure that works! My husband is an especially tough customer because his neck had been radiated during his teenage years due to Hodgkin's Lymphoma so he also had scar tissue from that.

David continued his twice/day castor oil treatment for a couple of years. The scar tissue/tracheal stenosis never returned. I wish we had tried this before suffering through 7 surgeries, but better late than never! And better than a permanent tracheotomy! I hope this will help some other people recover easily from their tracheotomies. It is an incredibly easy cure.

Cocoa Butter for Scars

Cindy (Batavia, Ny) on 09/26/2016

Vitamin E and/or cocoa butter to heal scars. Cocoa butter works great. Can get a Stick at the drugstore or look for a stick on Internet. Make sure it's pure cocoa butter and not cream that's mixed with other stuff. When I was a child back in the late 1950's I got a bad case of chicken pox and had pox marks/scars all over my face. Doc said to use cocoa butter. My whole face cleared up except for one tiny pox mark I still have. All others gone. Made my face real nice.

Oil Massage and Other Tips for Treating Scars

Cindy (Illinois, Usa) on 08/13/2016

Scars are not Evil

Scar tissue is like a mend that is lovingly applied to a favorite sweater. Mending involves additional materials and "stitching" that is different than the weave of the fabric to bind the edges to one another. In other words, it serves a purpose. To reduce a scar only requires the massage associated with the various oils and other substances that are used. Generally, unless one is applying a substance, one isn't rubbing a scar which makes just about anything you are rubbing onto your skin appear to help flatten scar tissue because it's actually the rubbing that is breaking it down. The problem is that breaking up scar tissue also weakens the mend.

The thickness of scar tissue can also create functional problems, some of which can be remedied by "moving" the scar which involves grafting to provide a more natural thickness at a specific, problematic site but which creates scars around the graft. The benefit is that it can be designed to move the scar tissue to areas where the additional thickness doesn't cause any problems.

Scars are GOOD things. If you don't like how they look, give them some love. Touch them - give them some hugs and a little massage with your very best oil. They deserve it.

Alkalizing Remedies for Shingles

Tim (Orange, Ca) on 05/21/2015
5 out of 5 stars

I had a bout with shingles for 3 months and nothing worked. Took lysine and stayed away from any foods high in arginine still no help. Forget what the doctors give you, that only puts your immune system in the dumpster. So I started getting my ph up with baking soda and a little molasses. Then baking soda 2 tsp and 6oz of distiller water three times a day. Then hit the vitamin c heavy. 500 mg every hour. Chewables are easy. Or 1000 mg every 2 hours and 4000 mg bed time if you can sleep. If you get ph test strips you can check your ph level. Disease, cancer, mites, parasites and bacteria do not live in a high ph body. They will slowly fade away. You have to be persistent. I also take magnesium 400 mg twice a day a good multivitamin with twice a day and don't forget the apple cider pills 500mg 2 pills three times a day.

Castor Oil Pack for Scars

Grace (Wash.) on 03/16/2015

I had to have 2 nose surgeries. Resulted in scar tissue and sinus infections. The ENT wanted to do surgery to remove the scar tissue. A year earlier I had my appendix removed and that area began to hurt it was scar tissue. The doctor said they could do ultrasound to dissolve it

I wanted a natural approach, I did castor oil pack on nose, with a heating pad and did the same on my abdomen, 2x a day for an hour. I took daily serrapeptase, 2 twice a day on an empty stomach . I read 3 books on proper juice fasting which included, couple colonics and coffee enemas. Apparently between the 8-15 day on a juice fast the body begins to dissolve scar tissue. If you're thin only 10 days of juice fasting is recommended. Of course talk to naturopathic doctor before starting.

Urine for Scars

Mark (California, US) on 09/09/2014

Sounds kind of odd and gross, but if you use your pee (urine) on wounds that have scabbed over, it will eventually fade until you can't see that you ever had a wound in the first place! In 2013, I gashed my forehead pretty good with a stick. It was about an inch long and looked like a Nike symbol. A friend of mine told me to pee on the tip of my finger and put it on the scab every morning (fresh pee in the morning is the best). I did this and now, you can't even see that there was ever a scar. Pretty amazing!

Re: DMSO to Dissolve Eye Scars

Gregor (Petaluma, Ca) on 02/22/2014

4 years ago I had a case of shingles on the left side of my face which left several scars within my left eye. My vision in that eye is distorted as one scar is in the center of my eye lens. An eye specialist said there is no present treatment, not even laser, that can remove the scar.

Does anyone know of a treatment using DMSO to soften or dissolve scars inside the eye?

Also, is there anything that will kill the shingles virus as I still get outbreaks on my face? I have tried olive leaf extract, but that has not worked. Thanks. Gregor

I have been battling a small bleeding spot on my nose for 2 yrs. I tried vit c but because of work only let it scab once so that wasn't enough and I use h202 on it too. Finally I used effudex for 3 weeks which turned it into a pea sized (flat) tender scar which only ended up bleeding 2 mos later after I scrubbed it so it could have been bcc not just ak. I couldn't get an appt with the Dr. for 5wks so I started EVCO and powdered melatonin tabs paste. Fantastic! First of all there was no nasty scabbing, just night 5 I think I made a crusty paste and woke up with some blood on my face but the skin looked o. K. There was tremendous healing in 10 days and I would say 2 weeks I could no longer discern the spot or root of the bleeding. I still have a spot of pinker skin from the effudex damage but its not tender anymore. I don't have insurance so that is why I was trying natural cures. It is day 18 and I feel very good about it so far, but I will follow up my post since so many things failed. I had made an appt for a biopsy coming up in 2 wks so I might be cancelling that since I'm tired of having a wound on my face.

Apple Cider Vinegar Helping Skin

Helpyourself (Houston, Texas, Usa) on 11/11/2011

Started drinking 2 tbls of acv, 1 tbl honey and a splash of lemon instead of coffee.

Drink coffee a couple times a week with 1 tbl blackstrap molasses. The scar tissue on the bottom of my big toe quit growing. Used to have to dig out tissue every three days or so.

It stopped growing! Amazing. I had this problem for 20 years and now after a couple weeks with the above I no longer have the scar tissue.

Also, put Apple Cider Vinegar on my dry legs and the dryness is gone, legs look like fresh skin. Amazing!
