Remicade had no effect. My GI suggested Humira but when I read the list of side effects it really scared me.
After doing my own research I found out about the LDN trial at Penn State and asked my GI to write me a script. To my GI's surprise I'm doing very well...almost a year on LDN and the most beautiful thing is noooo side effects!!

Humira is the same medicine as Remicade. The only difference is that it is compromised entirely of human protein molecules. Remicade is compromised of 30% rat protein which is why a lot of people have trouble with it. Also, the side effect list of aspirin is scary.
Also even if you get on a clinical trial of a drug that does not mean you will actually receive the drug. About 1/3 of the people in a clinical trial will receive a placebo (sugar pill not real medicine); another 1/3 will receive the medicine at half strength; the final 1/3 will receive the medicine at full strength.
