*Update* - Serrapeptase Information For Pain Relief and Much More

Hello Everyone,

After hours and hours of research yesterday on this all natural enzyme I could barely contain my excitement! As I was driving down to my local Sprouts Market, I got on the phone and called my Mom with what I had learned. She had a vehicle rear-end her almost 2 years ago and it left her with severe nerve damage and pain in her shoulder. Also my Pops has very bad circulation in his legs and pain in his knees. I asked her if she was interested in trying out Serrapeptase with me to see what happened. Both of my folks and my hubby (who has high blood pressure) were on board!

I found the particular product I was looking for which yields a very high potency version of Serrapeptase. It's made by Enzymedica and goes by the name "SerraGold" or "SerraPlus". It is specially formulated to remain potent in high ph environments so it retains its nutrient value even when introduced to stomach acid. I found "SerraPlus" on eBay, but I wanted to see if my local Sprouts Market had Serrapeptase at all so that we could begin trying it out immediately. (*I was majorly excited!) LOL!

At any rate, I found "SerraGold" at Sprouts for the same price I found it on eBay. It cost me $25.00 for a bottle of 60 caps. While it's a little expensive for my taste, I believe that the testimonials I found over and over and over again across the board made it a good investment risk. I picked up a bottle for my husband and I, and a bottle for my parents.

Today is the first day I'm trying it out. I took my normal dosage of Lyrica last night before bed, but I did not take my normal dosage of 150mg of Ultram ER (which I've been taking for the last 4 years for pain management). Because of the information I had learned about the inflammation and pain relief effects of Serrapeptase I figured this would be a good experiment to see if I could make it through any time whatsoever without my Ultram.

I took 1 capsule of "SerraGold" this morning on an empty stomach. As soon as I swallowed it, it took about 15 seconds for me to feel a little bit of a strange sensation. It wasn't a bad sensation, it was just a little unusual. It felt like a "fizzy" feeling buzzing through me (something close to a "soda fizz" feeling throughout my body). Now this may be something that just I felt, I haven't read about anyone else experiencing this sensation in all of my research. I may have just been sensitive that's all. I admit I felt a slight feeling of nausea for about 2 minutes, but I breathed through it and just made myself relax. I may have been over anxious about trying something new, OR the enzyme may have just been "doing it's thing" and eating away at stuff like it's supposed to and my body was just reacting. I don't know and I won't know until I take more and see what effect it has. (*The "fizz" feeling only lasted about 2 minutes and there was no more after that. The nausea for me also subsided about that time.)

I had a giggle over myself as I envisioned little tiny soldiers dispersing all throughout my insides and obliterating bacteria, dead scar tissue, fibrous scars left over from my Endometriosis battle, swimming through my blood and cleaning it... I smiled at the thought and said "go guys go!"

Here's the GOOD news. It's been almost 6 hours and I have VERY LITTLE pain in my body, my breathing is deeper (my chest and lungs feel lighter and I can take deeper breaths) and I also enjoyed about an hour nap that was very refreshing.

I'm excited to see what happens as my family and I try Serrapeptase over the next 30 days.
