Hi Steve, That was me. I started taking 300,000 units daily thinking it might clean my pipes out and lower my pressure. I was taking BP lowering meds. I had taken 18 chelation sessions for the problem and it didn't help so I started the serrapeptase. I figured if some is good, more is better. Bad thought. It was too much
Within two weeks I stroked and lost my right temporal lobe. I don't feel any worse but my wife says I am. Lost some hearing and visual acccuity but I'm almost 76 so I take it as a sign of aging. I have been taking 30,000 units twice daily for a year or two now with the same thought that it might clean my pipes. Dr. Hans Nieper in Germany used it to clean carotid blockage and had wonderful results many years ago. I had 100% blockage on my left carotid so went for an Endarterectomy. Am hoping the serrapeptase works on my right side which was blocked 70% at the time of surgery.

Yes, there was one person here who reported he had a stroke after taking fairly large amounts of serrapeptase but wasn't positive the serrapeptase was the cause. Also, I hade come across a similar report in an online testimonial somewhere but a Google search turned up nothing. Yes, I take one daily but it has now been 9 or 10 months and yes I was expecting results to take time. Maybe I was too cautious? - Steve N ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Linda Ellis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 5:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>Serrapeptase update? Hmmm, I'd like to hear more from others taking Serrapeptase. When I first got interested, there was at least one person who reported that, using the "more is better" theory, s/he had taken some high doses for a few months, but thought a stroke may have been the result. Steve, I recall your dosage is about what I'm doing (which, to clarify, is at least one per day - sometimes two). Am I right, or did I misunderstand? I actually started with three a day, and backed off after the posted reports of some difficulties, but could easily go back up, if I felt there was justification for the change.

Regarding Serrapeptase -- my husband's been on it for a couple of months (he has lung issues we're hoping will be helped). He was told that you need to start with a loading dose that was quite large. The original brand contained either 10,000 or 20,000 mg. -- and he was advised to take four capsules, four times a day. For a couple of weeks -- and then to start reducing. We're now getting it from Puritan's Pride -- their capsules are 90,000 mg. and he's taking three capsules per day. He believes that he's breathing a little bit better, and he hasn't had any negative side efffects. So, I'm not sure that one capsule *most days* is gonna do you a lot of good, Linda. Or at least, it's probably gonna take a long, long time. FWIW MA -------------- Original message from Linda Ellis <[email protected]>: -------------- Linda, I have been wondering how your Serrapeptase use is going. I realize that it is too early to tell real results. I know I went for months vasilating between yes the cyst was smaller and no it wasn't smaller until there could be no mistaking the change. In your case the change may be even more difficult to tell. But have you seen anything unexpected or any sensitivity to the Serrapeptase? - Steve N Hi, Steve. I've been taking at least one capsule a day since Thanksgiving, so I'm pretty sure it's too early to tell anything. I have committed to 18 months of consistent use before I will make my own decision. As you'll recall, I'm mostly interested in whether there's any effect on old skin scars. I have some "base" measurements on a couple of scars - both those that show absence of pigment, and a few which are dark-pigmented scars. I don't see anything yet. I haven't taken my blood pressure since I started this, but I know I was running a bit elevated, at 140/90. I'll get on that one of these days. I'll be sure to post if I notice any changes.
