High dose Serrapeptase seemed an absolute miracle for my sinusitis, allergies and stuffy nose, and I was hoping it'd eventually help my PAD.

But I, and a friend I turned-on to it, both had synovial knuckle "blow outs" and subsequent cysts / bone-spurs while using it. This seems odd, since Serrapeptase is widely touted for join problems, but my friend recalled reading others online confirming this nasty side-effect.

I later learned from a hand specialist that it is the joint scar tissue that keeps the joints sealed and prevents cysts from returning. Seeing how Serrapeptase is also said to digest internal scarring, this is likely how it is bad for those with this joint condition. I wish Serapeptase was still available as a nasal spray formula so I could localize it's positive effects.

I so hope this helps me. I just discovered the Serrapeptase on a video of Dr. Berg's. I have had awful post nasal drip for a couple of years at the least, maybe longer. I had to go with a Type 2 diabetic diet which made it better, way better, but still there and I worry about that constant drainage causing worse issues later on.

So I'm going to try it, but would you be kind enough to let me know about the enzyme and a good brand since I notice with many supplements, you have to get the "right" type, the real deal. I accidentally bought synthetic Vitamin C for example, then had to buy the whole foods type, again, the real deal ;)

Thanks much!!

Lad S. I have this sinus and joint condition you mention. I hadn't considered the joint thing was due to the serrapeptase though. Have you found any resolution? I've had surgery on a hand cyst only for it to return. My sinuses are some better. I'd like to find a natural cure for the synovial joint cyst though.

I did have horrible sinus infection, over and over, and in 2010, I got one so bad I was in and out of emergency 3 times and they kept giving me antibiotics. I was so sick it finally effected my equilibrium, and I felt like I was in another world my brain was so clogged, I made it to my sisters house and used her computer and did a search for "alternative remedies for sinus infections" an ACV popped up. I knew my sis must have that in her cupboard so I went for it, drank a tbsp in very, little water, didn't care, was willing to try anything at that point. I went and laid on the couch and didn't feel well enough to read, or watch tv even. I'd been sick with this 3 solid months. All of a sudden I felt my head doing something, something inside my head. It was like the dam broke, or the cement must have just started melting, can't describe it. I began feeling normal that day, that night, and by the next day I was on the mend. I could fully tell. My cupboard is never without ACV, but I don't use it for every, little thing. And, I can say with all honesty, to this day I have NEVER had another sinus infection. I don't take it as a preventitive either so I don't know how it all worked, it just did. I will use ACV for upset stomach, or cramping from something I ate too much of maybe and it always works for that too.

I am on 120,000 spu's a day of Serrapeptase by Carlyle. I really have not noticed a difference in my sinus issue but am wondering if I am taking enough. I thought I had read somewhere (but can't find it now) that it does not absorb good, or not water soluble. So I think that means it should be taken with food. But I thought I also saw it should be taken on an empty stomach. Guess I need to do my homework much better. I'd like to hear feedback on how much others are taking, those that are getting results using it as an anti-inflammatory?

I'll keep taking mine but double the dosage and see if that sets well. I've been taking in after my breakfast as I don't do well taking "any" of my supplements on an empty stomach. Thanks in advance for any help at all on this :)

So far, since Nov. 1st, so just 21 days, I am not seeing a huge improvement in my post, nasal drip. Although, I haven't been kept awake gagging from it, and that is an improvement. I think it is loosening, not as thick. I know this sounds so gross, but I know there might be others out there suffering from this, so I want them to know if they come here and read. It feels as if I've been on the Serrapeptase much longer, but since I haven't, I will keep up the dosage I am on which is usually just one a day. I think I will try and up that to two, if I can just remember to take one at bedtime as well. I am hoping for a lower cholesterol # on my next labs as well, possible due to the addition of the serrapeptase as well. So if I take 2 a day, am taking 2 X 120,000 spu. I had to look up what that spu means, but it's a safe dosage from what I read. I'll be back after the labs are done in another month or so :)

Exactly. this is called pharmacogenomics. Pharmacogenomics is the study of the role of the genome in drug response. Its name reflects its combining of pharmacology and genomics. Pharmacogenomics analyzes how the genetic makeup of an individual affects their response to drugs. Steroids for example save lives to millions. It nearly killed me and my child. Should I badmouth Prednisone?

I did find a naturopath answering your question that you missed.

We have not had any negative feedback in the last 21 years and millions of doses.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between Nattokinase and Serrapeptase? They sound the same to me when I look them up but I would love to hear from someone that has had success with either, or both?
