If I had to take one of these, I would personally prefer Adalimumab, as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha influences all sorts of other often oit-of-control inflammatory processes. Interestingly, many antioxidants reduce TNF to achieve their benefit. Diet and exercise can help with this, too.

As always, talk with your doctor about what is best for you.

When I was in school (yes, more than half a century ago), no one outside the medical community had ever heard of Chron’s Disease. If someone mentions spastic a-holes, we thought they were talking about nurds in a gym class.

I second your assessment. TNF alpha is at the headwaters of cytokines. Look at the cytokine response lists of so many inflammatory diseases and you find TNF alpha most of the time.

The older drugs like 6-mp and some others had some pretty nasty side effect. They were designed to control tnf as well if I recall correctly. I know folks that kept getting boils and sores, and lung problems while on the drugs. And when flues came around had to be extra careful not to get them if they caused lung issues.

Hopefully the news meds are a bit gentler.

I wonder how much of this explosion in diagnosed cases is due to poor gut biomes due to the lack of fermented foods in the standard western diet.

It's been known for some time now that Adamibulab (Humira) is effective against Crohn's. I'd read about it at least 10 years ago and passed it onto a friend who's wife has Crohn's.

She's been on Humira for it for about 8 years for it. I take Humira to manage my Ankylosing Spondylitis. It's been a life-changing drug for me.
