If you take a healthy person and give them an immune suppressant they would likely not be healthy any more. I am not interested in slowing the progress of RA at the expense of multiple severe side effects. There is lots of research coming to light linking pathogens and/or microbes as the root of inflammatory conditions. When presented with this knowldedge Andy ignores the research. Commenting now on the whole industry now it's as if they have their fingers in their ears saying over and over 'There is no cure, there is no cure' despite emerging evidence against this.
There are many pieces to the puzzle with autoimmune conditions. The book 'The Autoimmune Fix' will help a person begin the understanding of what is going on but may only be one step towards the solution depending on how severe your situation. My score of 2 reflects my disappointment in his keeping abreast of the research coming to light these days.
Just as I would never take chemo for cancer, I'm not interested in chemo for RA...the go to offering. I hoped from the reviews that Andy would be different.
