so TNF blockers can be tried at the initial stages to produce some positive outcomes,right?

[ReWir3d]

@nirvanaforsale Of course the biologics should be used in conjunction with diet, although these drugs do not address the cause of AS, they could have some beneficial--DMARD--activity as has been shown in RA.

Some people with AS have been on Enbrel for example more than a decade, combined with their own version/convenient modification of starch-restrictive diet. When eating less starch they take less drug and it has not lost efficacy even without MTX.

Better option (for some): Antibiotics!

So besides the TNF blockers what other better options do you suggest?

[ReWir3d]

@missshebella

Well, although I like and appreciate the tnf-a blockers, they do not really treat the cause of AS and do not actually prevent cell death.

I like the combination of dietary starch elimination and antibiotics; these are certainly better options for AS, specifically. Long-term fasting and fruit monodiets (The Edgar Cayce Three Day Apple Diet, is the best example) are also important tools, but supplementation and doing gut-healing are also very helpful as is basic exercise.

VERY informative if you understand the lingo.

[NewRiverAngel]

great. so you've listed all closely related medical disorders.. was this supposed to be helpful in some way i missed? or was this everything you put up on the blurry screen?
