Re: Re Hyaluronic Acid again

[Guest guest]

In my opinion...no, HA is no substitute for Benicar or any other ARB

for controlling inflammation. There's no comparison.

, you must reckon as your email name suggests with the fact

that ARBS have NO anti-inflammatory benefit in some patients. I

believe you know this, but wish you would qualify your statements to

reflect it. Doesn't take anything away from those who are helped.

Thanks,

You can say the same thing about any single anti-inflammatory

modality...save the glucocorticoids.

That's why I have often spoken about a comprehensive anti-

inflammatory regimen. The immune system is too complex to simply

modulate at one place. There are several important pathways in the

cascade that must be addressed.

ARBs work in an important pathway...ATII is significant in chronic

inflammation. In my experience, the more comprehensive the regimen,

the better the patients usually do.

I just had a major eye exam at Dartmouth Hitchcock

yesterday... new referal, as my Ohpth moved to Utah.

The Doc said " Not only is it remarkable

that your eyes show no scaring, no catarac, and no signature

of a 12 year both with almost constant posterior and anterior

**Uveitis, you're eyes are healthier than most people your age " .

So he was pretty shocked.. I was sorta- Iknew i hadn't had an eye

flare in almost a year - and i was the last symptom to subside.. but

I figured I had damage in there..

SO... Hmmmmm I've done something right- And this

Doc is interested, as all my eye peoblems were well documented.

He's actually interested in looking at my records besides the eye

records. (Hopefully it'll help someone future patient)

I attribute this lack of damage to the heavy oral antioxidant use,

supplements and food .. (including n- acetyl carnosine eye drops, and

oral GAGs.. for conversion to HA) Catarac is, afterall, oxidation

of the lens in the eye.

Free radicals are abundantly produced produced in inflammation- and

along with those modulators every one takes.. antioxidants are just

as important, maybe more.

I sort of wandered here on the HA discussion.. but everything is just

so connected - it's hard to talk about just one sustance.

cells in the eyes the cells snow drifted)

Barb, that's awesome! Was your vision affected, and did it improve

with treatment?

My vision is getting REALLY bad, really fast. I would like to halt

it and reverse it. But like you say, you never know exactly what's

causing what.
