Cortisone drugs are anti-inflammatory drugs used to treat numerous acute and chronic diseases: respiratory system diseases, allergy, inflammations. Like all drugs, nothing is cured, but the symptom is suppressed. In fact, cortisone penetrates cells by reducing the production of molecules that cause inflammation and acting on the synthesis of cellular DNA..
THE FALSE MYTH OF MODERN MEDICINE
All official medicine is based on the belief that what happens to the body is always wrong and the result of an error and therefore we must act and change the mechanisms to return to the state of pleasure. Unfortunately this is false for two reasons: 1) the human body is the most intelligent and evolved being that exists; 2) the state of pleasure or absence of pain achieved by medicines is nothing more than anesthetization, a falling asleep of the body, it is not a healing!
REDUCES THE PRODUCTION OF NATURAL CORTISOL
Cortisone is a drug similar to cortisol: a hormone normally produced by our adrenal glands in stressful situations. Its administration from the outside determines, like any other hormone, a negative regulation (bio-feedback) towards endogenous cortisol, resulting in a reduction in hormone production. Cortisol modulates inflammatory reactions and the activity of the immune system, and therefore if this hormone begins to be missing the effects will be very evident.
SIDE EFFECTS OF CORTISONIC DRUGS
Their effect manifests itself very quickly and the side effects are absolutely not to be underestimated.
These side effects are caused by high doses of the drug and by prolonged therapies exceeding 1 -2 weeks , but also for short-term recurrent therapies.
– Depresses and weakens the immune system
– Osteoporosis, in particular at high doses and/or for prolonged periods, can induce bone loss with an increased risk of fracture
– Hyperglycemia and risk of diabetes
– Sexual dysfunctions
– Hypertension
– Leukopenia
- Depression
– Cardiocirculatory diseases
– Obesity
– Polycystic ovary
– Ulcer and gastric hemorrhage, risk which increases if Ibuprofen-based drugs are also taken together with cortisone (like the moment)
– Insomnia
– Acne
- Mood swings
– Retards growth in children
NATURAL ALTERNATIVES TO CORTISONE
RIBES NIGRUM: Blackcurrant(or blueberry) it is considered very effective in treating allergies, of joint pain, rheumatic, of capillary fragility. In addition to, stimulates the adrenal cortex and raises the immune defenses. Generally, as a substitute for cortisone drugs, it is taken in the form of a mother tincture. Ribes nigrum buds act on the adrenal cortex (this is precisely what makes them similar to cortisone), they inhibit inflammatory processes, the formation of exudate and normalize immune disorders due to allergic reactions.
Consuming the fruit allows the body to always have a minimum amount of natural anti-inflammatory in circulation. The task of the mother tincture will instead intervene in situations that require an immediate result.
It is generally used for joint inflammation, dermatitis, dermatosi, eczemi, acute allergic syndromes, inflammatory syndromes, allergic conjunctivitis, rhinitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, mumps, allergic hives, allergic migraines, DISORDERS.
CURCUMA: Turmeric it is a plant with innumerable properties and the dry extract of its root is indicated as a valid alternative to cortisone: it is in fact a powerful anti-inflammatory, but it is also used as an antiallergic, Stimulator of bile secretion and remedy to prevent Alzheimer's. The lack of side effects is also its greatest advantage.
CARDIOSPERMUM HALICACABUM: The vegetal extract of this plant has anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties by virtue of an effect similar to that of cortisone. It also seems to relieve itching and reduce skin inflammation. The fundamental advantage of this natural extract is its high tolerability, even in cases of prolonged use over time. The active ingredients responsible for the effect similar to that of cortisone are the phytosterols contained in the flowering tops and which demonstrate an anti-inflammatory action, antipruritic and able to stabilize the cell membranes of skin and mucous membranes, in case of dermatitis, turn out to be less reactive.
GINGER: Several researches have also shown the various beneficial properties of ginger, including that of being an effective anti-inflammatory. In particular, a study carried out at the University of Copenhagen wanted to compare its effectiveness against arthritis (both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis) comparing it to that of drugs such as ibuprofen and cortisone. The results showed that ibuprofen is not useful in these cases, while excellent benefits were obtained with both cortisone and ginger extract. It therefore seems that the active ingredients contained in this spice should also be taken into greater consideration as natural remedies for inflammation, also given the absence of side effects.
