Prednisone and new research findings from Canada

As a synthetic corticosteroid drug, there's a very strong effect on the body's immune system. The problem when prescribing this drug is to strike a balance between its effectiveness in reducing inflammation and the reduction of resistance to infections. This problem is not restricted to particular inflammatory conditions. It's an inherent danger arising from the way in which the drug affects the adrenal gland. So, if you have asthma and take any of the inhaled corticosteroids over any significant period of time, you can expect an increased number of both viral and bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract. The latest research from Canada has been looking at the health of seniors whose autoimmune system is often working less efficiently, exposing them to higher risks of infections.

About 5% of seniors have rheumatoid arthritis and doctors around the world turn to the corticosteroids as a first line of defense. The difficulty is that the treatment undermines the already weakened immune system making it more likely the seniors will fall prey to pneumonia and other serious illnesses warranting hospital treatment. The research carried out by McGill University compared seniors who were admitted to hospital with serous infections. The patients were divided into two groups. The first was admitted to hospital with no prior diagnosis of serious heath problems and no current drug regimen. The second had already been diagnosed with a serious problem such as rheumatoid arthritis, lung and kidney diseases. These patients were already taking drugs to control their problems.

The study shows that people already diagnosed with chronic health problems were significantly more likely to be hospitalized with infections. Within that group, the individuals most likely to be affected were already taking drugs that reduced or suppressed the immune system. The researchers therefore suggest that the first response to those diagnosed with chronic health problems should not be the use of drugs affecting the immune system. It should not perhaps be surprising that Prednisone was found to be the biggest offender in this respect. Of all the drugs taken by patients, this had the most dramatic effect in increasing the risk of infections. The very precise recommendation is that if the use of an immunosuppressant is unavoidable, it should only be prescribed at the lowest possible dose to give some relief and for the shortest possible time. This treatment should be paralleled by vaccinating against all the current strains of the flu and, wherever possible, against pneumonia which proved to be the biggest killer in the group of patients studied. If seniors are not treated as an at-risk group and given all necessary preventive treatments, they are likely to end up in hospital and many will die. This is not to say the immunosuppressants are inherently dangerous and should be avoided. But it does mean that everyone offered Prednisone should understand the risks and use it only when absolutely necessary.

  2. I was hurt and heart broken by my husband,but i am so happy to have my husband back in my life again.!My name Wendy Baron, i live in Manchester, UK. A very big problem occurred in my marriage seven months ago, between me and my husband . so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce. he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore.So he packed out of the house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much begging,but all to no avail.and he confirmed it that he has made his decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only way i can get my husband back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for him too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the email address of the spell caster whom he visited. TEMPLEOFLOVEANDPROSPERITY@GMAIL.COM. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next day. What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me, and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past 7 months, gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back. So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster. So, i will advice you out there if you have any problem contact Dr Frank Ojo, i give you 100% guarantee that he will help you..
