There are a lot of so called natural alternatives and I bought them all. NONE of them work. I've tried mixing 3-4 for a synergetic effect and that didn't work. I am autoimmune. Curcumin, Boswellia, Cordyceps, Licorice, Vit C and D, Krill oil, Serrapeptase and like 70 others. Don't waste your money. 2 years on herbs and my inflammatory markers only got worse while my wallet got lighter. The ONLY improvement I seen was with a serious diet of basically air and water. 100% gluten, dairy and sugar free and a low FODMAP diet on top of that.
I have been hyper nutritioning with omega 3s,algae,Kefir, vit d with k, coq10,turmeric,sugar free dark chocolate powder,cinammon,garlic and intermittent fasting.I feel great.I am 64
Right. She expects us to trust her and buy her product, but she's too stupid to know that an _alternative_ is something to take INSTEAD OF prednisone, not something to mitigate pred's side effects. She's a pharmacist, not a doctor. I'm not impressed with doctors, but she's misleading viewers by naming herself & her channel 'Dr. [...]' .
Just want to give a patient review. Male age 57, in excellent shape. I do have Asthma, and I've had a dry cough for about a month. My Dr put me on an Antibiotic for 7 days, and Prednisone for 5 days, @ 20mg per day 2 tabs, then one tab day 4 & 5 to tapper off. It's been 3 hours so far, and I haven't noticed anything so far maybe it's still early. I will keep you posted, but so far its helping me breath better and a little bit less congested. But so far I feel normal, and there was no drug allergy to the Prednisone. I also had 1 cup of coffee, no elevated heartbeat noticed drinking the coffee or an hour later. I know its still early but doing ok so far, keep you posted.
Prednisone update day one: Peeing a lot, I guess this is the fluid retention they talked about. I'm drinking water and taking vitamins. Feel completely fine so far no other side effects noticed. Took at 7:30AM and it now 12:39 a little dry mouth Ive noticed. So far the congestion in my chest is really clearing up, and Like I said I have Asthma, and this is the best I've felt in over a month, and I'm having to cough much much less, the cough is 80% gone, I think I'm on the right track so far. Still early I will keep the updates coming.
Thank You for posting this comment, so now I don't have to all over again, as I did in another video that somebody uploaded about Prednisone. Same symptoms as you. For the past few weeks, I have to pee every 2 1\2 hours it seems. It's rough having to do that through the night, instead of it interrupting what already long nights of pain with RA. So being off prednisone now for a while, the pee thing is still happening the same. I drink water after I pee too, otherwise I feel a little dehydrated.
@@PrednisonePharmacist Fantastic! I went through the whole cycle and it kicked whatever was going on in my chest. I'm buildig a steam room, and a Dry Sauna. From everything I've read its very helpful.
I take prednisolone 25mg every day for 3 mths to help me with Fybro myalgia so 3mth on and 3 mth off. I want a alternative steriod so I can function as I'm sick of the pain. When I'm off them I can't wait for the 3 mths to be up so I can get back to life. I didn't hear the alternative you mentioned.?
Prednisone update day one 7:51PM: Feeling Amazing!! coughing has nearly stopped! I could run a marathon. No side effects so far. Drinking plenty of water and taking vitamin c from Standard Process.
If you stay on for multiple months/ a year+ i hope you're still updating us. Early positive results are common. Veterinarians also overuse this drug. The stories are heart breaking 💔 ~ One shot gave dear ol' Hairypants 100% relief from severe asthma symptoms.... That was his 1st & last shot bc i started researching.... his shot last 4ish months Symptoms are just now beginning to return.... i will try quality human supplements & concoctions... Vitamei d3, k2 berberine, tumeric, licorice root etc.... Wish us luck.... we're both old strays 😅. He showed up in need about 3 years ago....❤ I will happily look into your product....
Dr.Megan, you are God sent.❤God bless you and your family. Thank you for helping me with all my questions regarding ITP. You went over and beyond during my appointment. I’m forever grateful. My two bottles arrived today. I will start taking your supplements starting now!😊THANK YOU! ❤
Checked out the supplement ingredients and it is definitely not for me. First it uses magnesium stearate as a filler that my immune system doesn't tolerate well. Not sure why rice flour is not used instead. Second, though I am probably the exception to the rule, magnesium glycinate does not agree with my digestive system, instead and I know it is the rarest used magnesium used as a supplement, I take Magnesium L-Threonate instead. Finally, calcium would kill my GI system as well. Finally, I will note my immune system reactions are quite rare.
Dr. Megan! Wow, I am so glad that you were able to not only figure out how to treat yourself but also made it happened. You are an inspiration for so many of us. My dog was diagnosed with a rare cancer 10 months ago and started taking prednisolone three months ago. She experiencing all the major side effects more and more each day. The latest symptom is diarrhea with blood, for almost two weeks now. I can’t stop giving her the steroid, so what can I do to help her feel better and have a better time with life until it’s her time to go. Do you have any idea what I can do. Could you please help my dog? Thank you so much.
Berberine and Berbere are NOT the same. Berbere is an Ethiopian/Eritrean spice that is a mixture of many spices including paprika, cayenne, ginger, etc. and Berberine is an alkaloid found in various plants including goldenseal, Oregon grape root, and barberry.
I love methylprednisolone/prednisone. I need two total knee replacements and git a dise pack for allergies, and I feel 15 years younger! I dont hurt! I have zip & stamina! I would love to boost my cortisol naturallybthru supplements & foods.
My doctor prescribed Prednisone for my covid fatigue and is helping but my last dose yesterday, I'm exhausted today from working, I would love to try something alternative
My naturopath who I no longer see recommended chromium even before I was diagnosed with PMR. In fact it happened in the same year as the diagnosis. I am pre-diabetes and yet I have unexplained weight loss which is a symptom of diabetes, not pre-diabetes. My A1c reading was 6.4 just at the end of March. 6.5 is diabetes. Either I have something besides diabetes or the A1c results were artificially low for a year. My test in August was 6.1. It went up .3 since August and yet my doctor isn’t taking it seriously. Scary. Chromium instead of berberine is probably the way to go.
Hello Dr. Megan, I'm impressed by your dedication to research this thoroughly and come up with something that can be helpful to so many. Unfortunately, I'm on a fixed income(SS) and i cannot afford the combo. for 3 months. Wishing you the best, God Bless❤
Pls get to the point. You are misrepresenting the title of your video. Cant handle people who keep beating around the bush. We know the symptoms now what’s the solution
No gluten/dairy/soy/sugar/GMO may help many health issues and lower swelling/inflammation. Gluten may hurt the gut lining so less nutrients absorb. Hair test to see good minerals/heavy metals may help from Amazon. Osteoprocare instead of dairy may help.
Hi, I sometimes need a short course of pred. when my mild chronic asthma flares up, usually due to a bout of bronchitis, lately from Covid. Ever since our normal CFC asthma-rescue inhalers were "ruined" by the newer HFA's with their weaker spray and sometimes harmful propellents (like the horrible Pro-Air with its Ethanol), pred. is the only alternative for me. What is considered a safe two-week pred. dosage for asthma flare-up, including the taper-down? I recently did 20mg recently at the highest for a few days, can't quite taper down yet as wheezing is still bad enough to keep me up at night despite using my POS standard Albuterol inhaler. thanks!
Thanks Megan! Started to watch the video and thought it so strange she thought prednisone would have some quick effects like a rescue-inhaler or something LOL. By the way, my other recent Asthma flare-up was actually from Covid which hit right after my coming home from prostate surgery, great timing. And prednisone really has helped once again. @@PrednisonePharmacist
So we need Chromium, Vit. D3/K2, Calcium, Vitamins (A, B, C,), Potassium, Magnesium Glycinate, and Zinc? I HAVE ALL OF THESE!! Buh-bye Prednisone!! 😊😊😊
Yes! Nutranize Zone can help people who aren’t on prednisone. It’s designed specifically for the needs of people on prednisone but can be helpful for others as well.
Can you take this whilst coming down off Prednisone? I’ve been on it for about 3 years now. Am down from 50mg to 6mg but the pains from Polymyalgia are just starting up again.
You can stay on these as long as you're feeling the effects of prednisone. Plus the ingredients are generally fine for any adult, so you can stay on as long as you like!
Hi, I took that daily dose long-term for similar issues, always tapering when possible and finally stopping completely after a few years. Was a lifesaver for me with no bad side-effects. That was 30 years ago, I'm now 71. As long-term, even low-dose corticosteroids are still controversial, highly recommend the easy-read medical "textbook" "Safe Uses of Cortisol" by the late great authority Dr. William Jefferies who preferred the old Cortef equivalent 20mg. for mild insufficiency and chided me about that a little bit. But he very much appreciated hearing my own case history of Corticosteroids actually curing my long severe bout of Post Viral CFS from '87.
oh dr.megan we love you, i was on a 50 mg predninsone dosage and finally down to 10 mg your page has literally helped me a lot control the weight. ❣
Oh good! I'm so glad to hear that it's helped you control the weight!
What is the natural alternative? As the title of your video says

Why not a pain killer instead since the steroids won’t cure her. Sorry that she’s sick Gos bless you both

It isn't an "alternative", it is putting back what prednisone steals!!

Yes, both chromium and berberine can help in this type of situation.
hi! LOVE this video, your channel was linked in dr bergs video! thank you will be ordering this soon!
Glad to hear it was linked to Dr. Berg’s! You’ll love it.
Dear mam, I'm using daily prednisone daily from past 3years for my rumatoid arthritis. Please give me alternative for my joint pains
yikes, thats dangerous. Can you take Humira?
I’m on 10mg of prednisone! Is these natural alternatives equivalent to 10mg? I’ve been on prednisone since 1975 for 2 autoimmune diseases
Listen to her carefully... it replenishes what prednisone steals!!! 😮
you still take the steroid!!

Hi Doctor can we take Prednisolon on very other day
Yes you can…..when I was down to 20mg, my doctor had me take it every other day.
So we need Chromium, Vit. D3/K2, Calcium, Vitamins (A, B, C,), Potassium, Magnesium Glycinate, and Zinc? I HAVE ALL OF THESE!! Buh-bye Prednisone!! 😊😊😊
Can you take this supplement instead of taking prednisone if it has been prescribed?
NO!! you take it with the steroid!!
Hello mam how to order my place from Philippines thank u god bless
What if you stop taking prednisone. Or for me I’m not on it. Can you take this by itself too and still benefit?
Yes! Nutranize Zone can help people who aren’t on prednisone. It’s designed specifically for the needs of people on prednisone but can be helpful for others as well.
Can you take this whilst coming down off Prednisone? I’ve been on it for about 3 years now. Am down from 50mg to 6mg but the pains from Polymyalgia are just starting up again.
Also, what is your natural remedy called and where can it be purchased?
Prednisone KILLED my dog💔
Pregnenolone??
How long can you stay on those supplements. I have been taking high dozes of steroid over the past 3 years on and off. Can you help?
You can stay on these as long as you're feeling the effects of prednisone. Plus the ingredients are generally fine for any adult, so you can stay on as long as you like!
Perhaps prednisolone needs to steal these nutrients to do it's job. Perhaps I should take some good quality Multi-Vitamins
Exactly! It’s stealing Peter to pay Paul and saving lives. Taking a vitamin is a great idea.
Please please please Dr Megan how come I'm so looking on the see if I seen a link to get the natural herbs but I can't find it I need it bad 😢
You can find it at Nutranize.com!
Hi, does this work against dexamethasone as well?
Yes!
How do I order the alternative
Nutranize.com
So your answer is take a multivitamin.
I’m on 5mg daily for adrenal insufficiency. Will this dose have the effect of stealing those nutrients?
Yes, over 2.5 mg a day is enough to cause nutrient depletion.
Hi, I took that daily dose long-term for similar issues, always tapering when possible and finally stopping completely after a few years. Was a lifesaver for me with no bad side-effects.
