I bought mine through Nutramedix when I was ordering some Cowden herbs. I'm kind of hit-or-miss in terms of trying to fit into my regimen (for hypercoagulation as well as inflammation) so it's too early to report. But I've read good things about it for inflammation for many medical conditions, not just Lyme-related.

I've been on it for so long that I can't remember exactly what changes I noticed. I believe it may have helped keep my SED rate down but I have no real proof of that. My SED rate was high. I haven't had it taken for awhile but it was normal everytime I had it taken after starting serraflazyme.
My C-reactive protien (inflammation in the blood) was elevated at the end of last year though so the serraflazyme did not bring it to normal. Who knows if it would have been higher without it.
Since lyme causes so much inflammation, I think it is important to do everything we can to keep it down.
I tried switching to nattokinase but it seems to bring up a lot of lung congestion. That's probably good but I can't tolerate it for very long. I've been meaning to rotate between serraflazyme and nattokinase.
I'd be interested to see how you do with it.

I would go for it on the systemic enzymes--they have helped both myself and my husband.
I took Lumbrokinase for many months at the request of my LLMD, as it specifically helps to clear up stuff in the brain.
We've also taken nattokinase, wobenzyme, vitalzyme, neprinol. I currently take small doses of Rechts-Regulat, which seems to work the best for me in handling hypercoagulation. However, it is quite expensive.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Cass A

Ok, I got the serraflasyme. Going to take that with EDTA, then wait an hour and take enula. then follow up later with activated charcoal.
I'll keep you posted.

I haven't been taking it but it comes with the full Cowden protocol. I don't know if I noticed anything different. It seems to have some great benefits. It may just be hard to tell, directly...

for anyone taking serrapeptase or other enzyme...do i need to take a break from it during the day? Or can I take it everyday?
I thought I remember something about doing 5 days on and then 2 off but can't remember..

ok, so i started serrapeptatse (serraflyzme) with an EDTA chaser. followed by enula or cumanda an hour later and charcoal with meal.
I just got my period, and my breast pain was SIGNIFICANTLY less than previous months. This was my major reason for trying the serrapeptase.
Still have joint pain and body aches. But headaches have been reduced.
I should mention that I did stop my doxy before starting this. But I want to add the abx to it next week.

I just saw my LLMD. He's happy with the progress I am making on serrapeptase.
He suggested I not add the abx, but alternate every two weeks with enula and cumanda.
He also suggeted that I keep the kids on samento during the height of the tick season to boost their immune system.

I'm on the full Cowden, take it 2x a day. Haven't really noticed anything, but then I haven't had any reaction to anything I have done.
