There was however, with almost every case, one major alteration, and
that was the reduction in ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) levels.
This reduction in the ESR was by far the most significant outcome of
this trial. According to the biochemist (with 15 years of experience)
he has "never witnessed such a drastic reduction, in such a short
time, even with patients on strong medications". During this trial the
highest drop in the ESR level was 175%, and the lowest drop recorded
was 15%.
What is ESR? (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)
"ESR blood test is an easy, inexpensive, non-specific test that has
been used for many years to help diagnose conditions associated with
acute and chronic inflammations, including infections, cancers and
autoimmune diseases. ESR is said to be non-specific because increases
do not tell the doctor exactly where the inflammation is in your body
or what is causing it. Often used in conjunction with other tests. ESR
is helpful in diagnosing two specific inflammatory diseases, temporal
arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica. A high ESR is one of the main
test results used to confirm the diagnosis. It is also used to monitor
disease activity and response to therapy in both of these diseases.
Moderately elevated ESR occurs with inflammation, but also with
anaemia, infection, pregnancy, and old age. A rising ESR can mean an
increase in inflammation or poor response to a therapy; decreasing ESR
can mean a good response." Taken from Lab Tests Online, a public
resource on clinical lab testing.
According to the above article, a drop in the ESR level is indicative
of a Positive response to therapy and the opposite is true when the
ESR level is on the increase. Although my study shows a clear picture
of reduction in ESR levels, it is by far too small a trial to claim a
major find! I therefore, urge colleagues and doctors in particular the
immunologists to investigate further.
