Below is an excellent article I just read to see if I could take plant sterols or Moducare with my Humira injections. Since RA patients have too much TNF in their system, the article tells how some of the natural methods such as SAMe, MSM, could reduce. I had taken them in the past and and my inflammatory blood test markers were lower than they are now. I may take them with humira and then ask doctor to do a TNF (alpha) test. He normally does just SED, CRP and basic panels for my ra checkups every few months, since I know take MTX and sulphasalizane, which is not working.
