DANGERS OF ALLERGY DRUGS: CORTISONE’S ROLE AND CORTISONE WITHDRAWAL
In fairness to cortisone it does have a place in the overall treatment program of allergies. Cortisone creams are very effective at keeping skin rashes and eczema at bay while the programs are taking effect. Keeping the skin quiet during this time keeps stress levels down, the anxiety of looking at an affected skin being a major stress. Such anxiety reduces the efficacy of the programs. The short time that cortisone cream will be needed will not be long enough to damage the skin as the programs speed the rate of skin regeneration. Cortisone puffers allow a good night’s sleep which is imperative for raising the body’s resistance to colds, ‘flu and asthma. Asthma responds quickly to the programs when body resistance is up. The programs lose some of their efficacy when sleep is broken by too many asthma attacks. The short amount of time cortisone puffers will be needed while on the program is not enough to produce significant Candida colonies or tissue damage to the mouth, throat and upper windpipe.
This is a slow process. The time it takes depends on the amount you’re on and the length of time you have been on it. Your doctor will probably reduce it by 1 -2 mg only every two to four weeks. This gives the metabolism the chance to adjust and rebalance itself. My experience is that withdrawal from cortisone tablets is more successful if the patient is on the Metabolism-Balancing Program. If you are on cortisone and showing the early signs of Cushing’s syndrome, don’t panic. Follow the instructions listed in the recommended program. There is a 90 per cent chance you will get better.
If you allow yourself to be on the cortisone drugs (tablets taken orally) for too long you’ll reach the point of no return. You won’t be able to come off them.
