I'm sure it's a great product for many people. It's just that 2 people close to me have taken it, with one being diagnosed with a very aggressive form of lymphoma. Not sure that qualifies my post as "misinformation."

I don't know what these are, but I still have a very strong opinion about them.

First of all, they're trashy. Secondly, most people who use these are compensating for something and don't take the time to do proper research on their effects. If you don't have children, you won't understand. In short, you're making a bad decision and I'm smarter than you.

I know someone who takes Enbrel for RA. It has worked wonders.

Why is it called a 'biologic' and not a pill?


It's considered a biologic because a cell line grows a target protein a million times over. The cells are killed and the protein goes thru a purification process to become a drug substance. Process can take multiple months to get no more than a kilo of "medicine"

A Pill is a couple chemicals thrown at each other and then popped into a bottle.

I hate posts like this. Explain the misinformation that you see because I don't know shite about any of it.

Skeeter I have Crohns and I'm on no medications at all and live pain free. Doing it all natural.

that's great - wish I could say the same.

When I got off Remicaid and tried the all-natural route, I was in the hospital within 2 months.

I've been on both Humaria and Cimzia. Humaria is much better,but more expensive. Make sure you get the needle instead of the pen, the pen is like a fricking nail gun! I tried a holistic diet and was in the hospital within two weeks. Just watch the side effects.
