Will Clearing P Make Me Feel Better? Stelara VS No Stelara?

[Spot On]

I feel more tired during flare, so I hope meds will help with that when I clear up.

And I wouldn't worry to much about the vaccins, they're never as bad as the actual disease you're vaccinated for.

The mercury in them as a preservative is something I worry about. Years ago I spent money to get all my mercury fillings replaced and then did a chelation process to help remove the heavy metals from my body. So to start injecting mercury seems counterproductive. Despite the drug companies and medical authorities saying it's OK to inject mercury.

I talked to my GP (very cool doctor) and he said he knew nothing about the risks of the biologics. He did find some separate vaccines that don't have the thimerosol mercury preservative. Twice the price though...

What are the cancer risks of the biologics VS regular living?

What are the cancer risks of the biologics VS regular living?

If you're going to get cancer, you're going to get it is my opinion. I know of no increased risk associated with the Bios.

One could ask "What is regular living" for me it's enjoying life the way I want, but to others it may be drinking green juice and living off of supplements, and to some it may be chomping their way through junk food and beer. Is there such a thing as "Regular Living" ? Smoking kills, Drinking kills, Food kills, and some die from being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but if you are worried about getting cancer then only you can decide what will give it to you.

I agree with Fred ,what is regular living certainly for me not having dubious treatments like the chelation process. Enjoy life and clear the P with Stelara but it's up to each individual to decide whether to or not.

To decide requires all the cards or information on the table. This is not very easy with Stelara because the information is not readily available. They do say in their side effect that cancer is one of the side effects.

If you take MTX it says that the side effects may be death , they have to put everything down even how unlikely that may be. I took MTX for 9 years and i am still here Stelara for over 5 years and guess what I'm still here.

I don't feel very lucky, so I am very concerned about cancer risks.

Is there a history of cancer in your family? Have you experienced cancer yourself or any precancerous skin cells.... I'm sure your dermatologist wouldn't give you Stelara if there were a big risk of cancer ....there are thousands of people using it and other bios....I would think you have a greater risk of skin cancer using home UV treatment than using a tried and tested drug ...and regular monitoring ...
But that is just my opinion

Nobody asked me about cancer history. I would also like to know the numbers on cancer with home uvb. I read the home narrow band uvb are pretty safe, because the band is in the safest light range and it only penetrates the first layer of skin while the hospital uv is uv A, which penetrates through the first and second layers of skin, making it much more risky. So much so they keep track of your exposure times and at some point they cut you off it and that's it for life. Not with nb uvb.

My wife has a relation who is 39 years old and she used UV for a number of years and now she has skin cancer and not the kind you can control so it's now spread to various other parts so use UV if you want but rather you than me. I had the maximum UV at the hospital so now they would not sanction anymore for me .
Stelara, if you can get it , is as safe as you can get and it works as well if not better than other bio,s and is certainly safer than the rather dubious chelation process that you had.
