23+ Years: How He Stopped Prednisone 💊

Prednisone as Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment?

After 23 years stuck on prednisone for RA (rheumatoid arthritis), Ron was desperate to get off.

Ron Lev

He’d tried every rheumatoid arthritis treatment, but none of them allowed him to get off prednisone.

Then one day he tried a new option…

Check out this video to find out what it is!

Prednisone & CBD

Now you know that the way he got off prednisone is CBD. This is a sensitive topic since it’s in an interesting legal, regulatory, and research situation right now.

I’ve been hesitant to cover this topic because I’ve been waiting for black-and-white, clear-cut answers to share with you.

With the way things are right now, it’s kind of gray.

There’s no perfect answer with for whether or not to use CBD with prednisone yet.

In this video, we share the things you can consider, based on the scientific data we have so far, when it comes to these questions about prednisone & CBD:

1. What is CBD?
2. Does CBD have a drug interaction with prednisone?
3. Is CBD safe while on prednisone?
4. Can CBD help with prednisone side effects?
5. Can CBD help with prednisone withdrawal syndrome/tapering?
6. Can CBD replace prednisone?
7. Are there certain conditions (like RA) that CBD has been shown to be helpful in? Maybe to replace prednisone?
8. How do I incorporate introducing the CBD while tapering the Pred? Can I introduce this while doing the taper? Like a seesaw? Increasing the CBD while decreasing the prednisone?

 Choose a Good CBD Supplier

Whether or not you choose to use CBD as your rheumatoid arthritis treatment, I recommend that you ensure that you’re using a good supplier.

Ron recommends asking for a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to ensure that they tested the plants and they are safe and non-toxic, and actually contain what they said they do.

In addition, I recommend avoiding gummies of any kind while on prednisone. They’re just too high in sugar.

That means CBD oil used under the tongue (sublingually) is probably a better option for people on prednisone.

Ron wanted the highest quality product, so he created Reclaim Labs. You can find the products available here.
