Guest guest Posted January 23, 2001 Report Share Posted January 23, 2001 Ken, my Naturopath prescribed Bromelain for digestive problems. He calls it an " ulcer medication " . I am starting at 500 mg. daily, though he prescribed taking 2 500 mg. 3x daily. He never remembers how sensitive I am to meds and supplements. Even at 500 mg. I feel as though my heart is beating more quickly, then a couple of hours later, I tend to fall into a dead sleep. Any comments? I am not taking any antibiotics right now.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2001 Report Share Posted January 23, 2001 My eldest daughter cannot take bromelain because she is very sensistive to salcycilates (thus she cannot take aspirin, grape seed extract, olive leaf extract etc...) - this salcycilate sensistivity does happen with CFIDS for some people... You did not mention taking antibiotics with it, so I am assuming that is NOT the case... then that type of reaction is an area of concern.. one possibility is salcycilate sensistivity. Another is that people who are sensistive to bee stings (allergic reaction) may react to bromelain. I would suggest stopping for the moment. See if other salcycilates (for example, aspirin) cause a reaction. If they do... you are in the same boat as my eldest daughter... which reduces your options for non- prescription treatment. AS ALWAYS - not medical advise. > Ken, > Even at 500 mg. I feel as though my heart is beating more quickly, then a > couple of hours later, I tend to fall into a dead sleep. > > Any comments?

Hi Harvey, What a great article on Bromelain. Maybe it was the home made, pineapple juice derived Bromelain, in Protocol 1 that caused my neighbour to recover from her stage 4 lung cancer in just 5 months. Or maybe it was the combination of things in Protocol 1. Good one, Harvey. moonbeam Bromelain ......Antitumor... The first documented use of oral bromelain on cancer patients was in 1972. Twelve patients with ovarian and breast tumors were given 600 mg of bromelain daily for from 6 months to several years, with reported resolution of some of the cancerous masses and a decrease in metastasis.19 Bromelain in doses of over 1000 mg daily has been combined with chemotherapeutic agents such as 5-FU and vincristine, and has been reported to result in tumor regression.19,20 Bromelain has also decreased lung metastasis of lung cancer cells implanted in mice in a dose-dependent manner. This antimetastatic potential was demonstrated by both the active and inactive bromelain, with or without proteolytic and anticoagulant properties.21,22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Cytokine Induction The successful initiation of an immune response depends on T cells and macrophages, along with the polypeptide factors they produce, called cytokines, which play a key role in communication during normal immunological response as well as infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic disease states. Table 3 lists cytokines and their activities. Bromelain, papain, and amylase have all been demonstrated to induce cytokine production in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Treatment leads to the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1-beta (IL-1 beta), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in a time and dose-dependent manner. Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), which had no effect alone, synergistically increased TNF-alpha production when applied together with the enzymes.23,24 The tryptic but not the autolytic fractions of papain and bromelain have a higher (10- to 40-fold) inducing capacity for TNF production than the untreated enzyme.25 Trypsin alone had only a small inducing effect. The ability to induce cytokine production may explain the antitumor effects observed after oral administration of polyenzyme preparations.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Interesting anecdote to relate to the list here -- about 4 months ago when I started ramping up my cardio (hiking/climbing training) for climbing season, I started to take dried pineapple chunks with me as a trail snack. I'd been suffering from plantar fascitis since about March, and including a lot of icing/foot massage in between 2- and 3-day climbs. When I learned (merely a month ago) about the anti-inflammatory properties of bromelain, found in pineapple, I had to marvel at the body's natural tendencies to crave what it most needs... and to be effective in telling me precisely what that was!! Wish those signals were as strong for everyone out there -- we might have a much healthier population if people knew how to read their own body's signals! Anyone know whether juice, dried (sugary - yum!) or canned chunks would be better sources, or are they all roughly the same? It doesn't appear as though bromelain is something that will ever be listed on food labels... Courtenay Schurman, CSCS Seattle, WA Body Results www.bodyresults.com court@... Bromelain Dr Siff, I'm interested to know which brand of bromelain you take. In Australia, bromelain is only available in tablet form in very insignificant potencies. I would like to find high potency bromelain capsules that I can purchase over the net. Do you have any suggestions? [i shop around at the local " Health " stores for the best deals and these sometimes offer some good specials. For some reason bromelain tends to be quiet expensive, but, paradoxically one can find it in tablets mixed with papain at a fraction of the price for the bromelain product on its own . The usual does in these combined tablets is 450-500mg of bromelain and at least 250mg of papain. Vitamin Cottage, Walgreens and Rite Aid are a few of the stores where I buy these products. Others may have better sources. Incidentally, I take bromelain (at least 1500mg a day) because some research has reported on its value in managing certain cardiac disease and cholesterol levels. You may have other reasons for taking it. Sometimes I just buy plenty of (very cheap) natural pineapple juice because I am sure that a few glasses a day of that offers plenty of bromelain for most uses.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 , logic dictates that fresh pineapple would have the most bromelain and any means of processing would reduce the potency. Try getting some pineapples and slicing them and putting in a baggie for the trips. They would provide the sugar(fructose), bromelain, and liquid (but would be messy!). Or you could get a small sealed container and make a fruit/nut salad-apples, raisins, pineapples, almonds, walnuts, etc.--sort of like a healthy gorp. Charlie Newkerk, C.S.C.S.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Yes, Bromelain is an anti-inflamatory. http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m3741/11_47/57943516/p1/article.jh tml and for a long list of MEDLINE articles see: http://www.bromelain.net/herbal-remedies/bromelain/research-on- bromelain We use it especially when taking antibiotics because it allows far greater penetration into tissue of the antibiotics. We often have taken up to 4000 GDU/DAY Clinical Indications Antitumor: Several studies, both animal and human, indicate bromelain might have some antimetastatic ability.8-10 In doses of over 1000 mg daily, bromelain has been combined with chemotherapeutic agents such as 5-FU and vincristine, resulting in tumor regression.8,11 Immune Modulation: Bromelain can induce cytokine production in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Treatment leads to the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1-beta, and interleukin-6 in a time- and dose-dependent manner.12,13 Bromelain has also been shown to remove T-cell CD44 molecules from lymphocytes and to affect T-cell activation.14 Potentiation of Antibiotics: Antibiotic potentiation is one of the primary uses of bromelain in several foreign countries. In humans, some undetermined activity of bromelain has been documented to increase blood and urine levels of antibiotics.17-19 Combined bromelain and antibiotic therapy has been shown to be more effective than antibiotics alone in a variety of conditions including pneumonia, bronchitis, cutaneous staphylococcus infection, thrombophlebitis, cellulitis, pyelonephritis, perirectal and rectal abscesses,20 and sinusitis.21 11.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 this sounds interesting, will have to check into it more and seewhat I can find. I am like you Ed will have to see about addingthis to hubby's list as well as mine.... thanks for the articleJudyinMO BromelainBromelain by E. Meinig, DDS, FACD http://www.price-pottenger.org/Articles/Bromelain.htm Bromelain was first introduced in 1957. Since then it has proved an important aid to so many diseases that more than 600 research articles are now found in the scientific literature about this product. It is a proteolytic enzyme, one that decomposes protein in the body. One of its first noted benefits was as a digestant. Bromelain is derived from the stem of the pineapple plant. This enzyme is effective not only in the acid present in the stomach, but also in the alkaline environment of the intestine It is considered a substitute for the digestants pepsin and tryptin. When I first became acquainted with it as a digestant, it didn't appear to be too effective. Since then, I have learned that patients were using too low a dosage. What will surprise you is the long list of diseases for which bromelain has proved helpful besides MSAL-digestion. Some of these are: angina, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cellulitis, thrombophlebitis, surgical trauma, sports injuries, ecchymosis (black and blue areas), edema, pneumonia, scleroderma, sinusitis, shortens labor, and reduces appetite. Dr. Hans Nieper, world renowned physician, has had fabulous success in treating heart cases with bromelain, magnesium oratate, and potassium oratate. He reported this therapy was 95 percent successful in preventing heart attacks. Dr. Gordon in Sacramento, California, using the same regime, had 85 percent success. Nieper's mortality rate in the treatment of strokes and heart attacks is only 2 percent, while that of the Cleveland clinic in Ohio, using conventional therapies, was 21 percent, and that of a Rotterdam Holland clinic, 19 percent. Dr. Nieper also reported bromelain was slowly and steadily effective in lowering blood pressure and was "one of the most effective anti-arthritics" (ANAVIT-F3). It stops platelet aggregation --the stickiness of blood cells. His clinic since 1975 has found its ability to break up fibrin has reduced leg amputation cases of diabetics and cardiovascular disease patients to zero. Dentists who are familiar with these studies have been having wonderful success in reducing the swelling that occurs from wisdom tooth extractions and other oral surgical operations. There are many companies that have bromelain supplements on the market. The one used by Dr. Hans Nieper is called ANAVIT-F3. It is also the one used by most of the researchers. Originally only Hawaiian pineapple was used, but today it is also manufactured in Taiwan, Brazil and Puerto Rico. Naturally, some of these products vary in their constituents and action. Upon testing, many are found to have low stability and activity. Incidentally, most bromelain products contain only 100 to 125 mg. while ANAVIT-F3 capsules contain 230 mg. If one uses the usual recommended dose for ANAVIT-F3 of one capsule 4 X a day, it would be necessary to double that amount for most other products. Most producers of bromelain do not tell you that it becomes inactivated by heat. If kept in the refrigerator it will keep for 10 years.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 It is not just good for heart attacks; that in only one of the things it is good for. Many people seem to get 'sticky blood' - it is also sometimes called Disease. It causes strokes among other things. Bromelain is good for circulation by clearing the viens etc. This is good for those with pheripheral neuropathy, among others. I suspect it would also help with damaged muscled - they need as much oxygen and nutrients as possible in order to rebuild themselves. blessings Shan PS Systemic Enzymes have been used for over 50 years in Europe to treat many conditions. I understand that there are over 300 papers on them.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Bromelian had been used for years. Here is what I know about it: 1) Should be taken on an empty stomach (It is a protein digesting enzyme) 2) Can be found active if one juices fresh COLD pineapple, canned pineapple juice has been pasteurized and the activity of the enzyme is ZERO. 3) Use to be available by prescription and was called ANANASE. Was removed due to suppose side effects. The biggest one being low profit to the drug companies. 4) If one has heart disease, this enzyme needs to be taken more than once a day. It prevents heart attacks and blood from clotting INSIDE a person. 5) If you can find it, get enteric coated tablets. AND KEEP IN FRIDGE Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I just called my local vitamin store and they carry this and he said he always has it in stock for it is a HUGE seller. This is the same store where I buy my Serrapeptase and the owner of the store is very helpful telling me information on anything I ask him about when I visit. The price for the best on the market that he carries is $14.00 for a bottle of 60 count. I asked what the customers are buying it for and they tell him that it is excellent for digestive issues as well reduction of inflammation. I told him about how it is being talked about on this group site and he said that it makes sense that it would be good for those with heart disease due to its ability to fight inflammation. I am definitely going to be buying some of this stuff. Ed > > Bromelian had been used for years.

I think there is some interaction with aspirin and some other things if taken at high doses. What does the bottle suggest per day? Noreen Bromelain I bought my first bottle of Bromelain today and just took my first capsule. The brand is NOW and is the highest potency there is with 2400 GDU - 500 mg. If there are any side effects I will be sure and let you know since I very insusceptible in noticing side effects. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi all, read a post on here today about the benefits of Bromelain for Carpet Tunnel and Plantar Fasciitis - I have really bad PF - have had for years and NEVER considered that it COULD be associated with thyroid issues!! Therefore, I am very interested in peeps experience of this as a supplement to help these conditions, can anyone tell me the brand names of Bromelain so I can look out for it here in Thailand... Incidentally, with having really bad PF in both heels I have now come across 'FitFlops' sandals which are just like flip flops but have a special sole that relives the symptoms of PF and other things and they are my life saver and I can now walk upright and straight and without pain - until I take them off - the pain is still there but at least I can live a 'normal' life - I have two pairs so far, one for indoors and the other pair for outdoors. They have just launched their winter range of styles too. (I have no connection with this company - just a VERY satisfied customer) If anyone wants to explore FitFlops further see... http://www.fitflop.com Meanwhile any info re the Bromelain would be SO appreciated... Many thanks - Carol x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
