CONFIDENCE LEVEL IN USE OF CORTISONE.
In 1989 Dava Sobel and Arthur Klein published a book called Arthritis, What Works. They had interviewed 1051 individuals across America and Canada who were suffering from arthritis; both rheumatoid and osteo. As a result their book contains a great deal of first hand information in respect to the effectiveness of various drugs currently being used by the medical profession for treatment of these diseases. They were able to do a comparison between the usual cortisone pill or prednisone and the various ant-inflamatories. They found that the prednisone was far more effective than the anti-inflammatories. The problem with both were the side effects. Prolonged daily useage gave problems just as bad as the arthritis. None had tried the combined and spaced regimen that I have outlined. I mention this because the medical profession frown on results from a single person and rightly so. But this very comprehensive and large survey should not be ignored. It shows that cortisone in pill form does affect the majority of people in the same way; both in it's effectiveness and its side affects.
