Serrapeptase

Don’t have any input but bumping the thread

interesting input here

i have a thread on Enzymes in the treatment of Bart - as i read a Dr M interview where he went as far as to say when abx treatment is not working - 80-90% of the time the patient is not keeping up with
the prescribed proteolytic enzymes - which was not something i have seen emphasised so strongly in bart treatment by a LLMD before.

my issue with them is they tend to give me gut symptoms - discomfort, gurgling, churning etc - when i have tried them and makes me feel off for about a day after a single dose - so have been wary of them - but Dr M is v highly regarded for Bart treatment - so i am wondering if it is worth trying again.

and wondering if some are more easily tolerated than others - while still having benefit

curious - did either of you find serrapetase did this to you - or was it easier on the gut than other proteolytic enzymes??

see also the other thread where there is at least some reason to believe their effect may be more via immune modulation than biofilm busting

Both Serrapeptase and Nattokinase gave me dizziness along with severe insomnia with continued use. I later read that they can interfere with GABA and glutamate which could be the cause.

I can’t remember the details but it seemed enough of a link that it wasn’t worth trying for me.

Do you recall how many capsules/times a day you took the Serrapeptase?

I am starting slow - 1 capsule 1x day

Garzie,

I had trouble with digestive enzymes when I started them until I switched to Orthomolecular brand Digestzymes. I discovered the Enzymedica I had been using and most store bought digestive enzymes were sourced from Aspergillus molds.

thank WBF - just for clarification - were these tummy troubles - or other symptoms

UPDATE @ 1 mth:

I have slowly increased my dosage and have been fine with it. Taking anywhere from 2-4 capsules per day in 2-3 doses.

Not feeling any different symptom wise as far as I can tell, but will continue. May add another enzyme soon.

Yesterday, I got lab work done - about 10-12 vials of blood. I noticed the vials filled up very fast. Not that it was slow before, but it seemed faster this time. I didn’t have any pain from the needle or sensations of blood bubbling or surging, as I have had in the past. Those issues could have been solely dependent on the phlebotomist, not sure.

However, I didn’t feel right afterwards. Not faint or dizzy, but not right. I was drinking enough water and went to eat after leaving the lab, but still didn’t feel right. I realized my heart rate was 110-120 and was skipping beats. Took a potassium supplement and a little later ate again and took a Serrapeptase and felt normal again.
