Hi Liza,

If you are taking Serrapeptase at a dose of 80,000 i.u. then I would think that 3 x 3 is too high. When I took that dosage it used to be 40,000 i.u.

I would advise that you contact Robert Redfern on his website and ask him. Also, remember what I have advised above about resting it as much as possible, and wearing sensible shoes.

Hi Ann,
I was diagnosed with MN about 4 years ago.
After suffering the condition for about 1 year and refusing to get cortison shots, I decided to undergo surgery.
I have to say that it was amazing! The recovery was very fast, didn't have any complications or side effects and I was wearing my heels in less than 6 weeks.
I am a dancer (in high heels) and you can imagine I use my feet a lot!
I have been dancing pain free for almost 4 years. Yay!
Having said that, unfortunately my MN has returned, same feet almost same location.... how can this happen?
I'm still at the beginning stages and I've decided to look for a more natural cure.
I've read all the posts and I feel there's hope and I don't need to undergo surgery again.
My challenge would be to stay off my feet (dancing and wearing heels) while taking Serrapeptase.
Could you give me some advise regarding what you would recommend, please?
Thanks a lot!
Judy

Hi Judy

Inevitably you will be putting a lot of pressure on that area through regular dancing, and with high heels (oh dear!) The combination of the two is not great for MN. I still wear high heels, but only on social occasions, not for everyday walking.

I think you are going to have to think about this seriously, especially having undergone surgery - you would not want to have to repeat that.

As disappointing as it sounds, personally I would put the MN before the dancing, and I don't see there is much option. This means resting it and stopping that constant pressure. I would start the serrapeptase together with resting it as much as possible, until it has completely disappeared.

It may be worth asking your doctor whether it is common for it to return after surgery, and also ask Robert Redfern for further advice.

Good luck Judy and I hope it recovers soon.

I just found this site today. I am a very active person and was diagnosed with a MN about 2 years ago. Also, in January of 2010, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I underwent treatment - chemo, surgery & radiation and am now cancer free. However, I am taking an aromatase inhibitor drug for the next 5 years to keep the cancer at bay. The problem is this. During chemo, I developed RA and this drug I'm now on makes those symptoms worse. I have RA in my toes and hands and wrists. I have been active since I was a child - track team, volleyball, tennis, hiking, backpacking and frequent my local gym at least 4 days/week - doing step aerobics, kickboxing, yoga, etc, and I also walk my dog daily after I take my son to the bus stop in the morning.

After my breast cancer diagnosis, while undergoing chemo, I felt pretty bad and couldn't work out much. So after I was finished, I was excited to get started again and feel 'normal'. I believe the MN happened because I got some new running shoes that felt comfortable at the time, but after working out a few times in them, I felt a pinching sensation on the top of my foot - between my 3rd and 4th toes. I have never worn heels regularly (maybe 25 years ago). I am an outdoorsy, active woman who would rather be in flats. But even certain flats aren't comfortable with this condition without proper support.

I am intrigued by this Sept. supplement because I have been living with this pain in my right foot for about 2 years and just recently started developing similar pains in my left foot. HELP! I want to feel better, but sitting around waiting to heal sounds awful. I just started to feel strong and healthy again after cancer.

I am afraid of the interaction of this supplement with Arimidex (cancer drug) and Glucosamine DS (I just started for my RA pain(, as well as Synthroid.

I feel like I have pain just about everywhere, but I don't want to stop moving, I'm afraid my RA will make me stiffen up even more.

Thanks for hearing me...........Kim

I was diagnosed by a podiatrist in Fremont, California more than a year ago with Morton's Neuroma. For more than a year, I lived through quite a bit of discomfort in my left foot and used metatarsal pads to reduce the symptoms. The worst part of
it, was it kept me off my regular exercise routines,


About a month ago, while throwing some hoops in the ClubSport Fremont, when I was doing a turn, I experienced a very sharp but brief (around 2 seconds) pain in between my 3rd and 4th toe. Then the regular discomfort sensation of the past 1+ year changed almost immediately, replaced by the feeling that something was torned or popped between my 3rd and 4th toe.


I came back home that night and searched on the Internet, "can a neuroma pop", and came across this site in the search results. I saw Jon's postings, and
I thought maybe Jon described the condition I had.


Gradually, the discomfort diminished. As I wrote this today, the discomfort is probably less than 10% of what it was a month ago, before I had that
tearing/popping sensation in the toes.


I do not know if it is exactly what Jon described, but I am glad the discomfort is greatly diminished.


Thanks, Jon, for enlightening us with your insights.


Chris

Dear Kim,

I am sorry such a while to reply, but only just seen your post. I really would recommend that you ask Robert Redfern's advice on drug interactions, and hope this is not too late getting to you. His website is www.serrapeptase.info and you can ask your question on-line.

Warmest regards
Ann

Hi Chris,

I am so glad to hear your story! In my particular case, the X-ray showed it was MN and that it was a small tumour measuring 7mm, but after the serrapeptase it had vanished. I will let Jon know how useful his information was to you...
