I take serrapeptase daily and started because my legs didn't have good circulation and I had relief in less than two weeks, taken as recommended, and reduced to dosage to half for the duration of a large bottle of 40,000 units.. However, I also took lecithin at the same time. Lecithin will emulsify fats, so I feel it helps to keep arteries clean and serrapeptase helps to eat away at the inflammation and reduce the plaque.
That said, I don't know how serrapeptase can break off plaque in a chunk. I don't know of any reported case where a "chunk" of plaque has caused a stoke, but have heard of plaque build up causing a blockage, as well as a blood clot causing a blockage. Serrapeptase 'digests' plaque but I've never heard that it bores holes into it or causes it to break apart. I would hate for people to not use this wonderful enzyme because they would hear that it causes plaque to break apart, yet I can find no reports at all on the web that this is the case. It's sad to me that people don't follow what is recommended, when self healing. Too much of a good thing is no longer a good thing in many cases of natural healing. As Renee stated, two different people on two different lists said this happened to them.. If these people are on this type of list, who are they reporting the side effect to so that the world knows this happened? Are they taking bad recommendations without doing needed research to back up what ever they read? Who is the expert they have come to trust? If such a thing had happened to me, I would be reporting it far and wide, even if it were my own fault for over-dosing. I fully understand that many of us are pioneers and use ourselves as lab rats in our attempt to self heal with the use of alternative remedies, but this has to be done with common sense. This silverlist has been my source of information about silver for at least 6 years, and I know who I am dealing with, who I can trust on here, who the experts are, when gathering information and using protocols related to silver. I don't take anything said on here as gospel without seeing agreements by others and some sources to back things up. When there are many contradictions, then I have to choose who makes the most sensible argument.

Follow the dosage no the bottle. Taking too much too fast can 'chunk' off bits of plaque which can travel and cause strokes. Happened to 2 people on 2 different lists I'm on, trying to get rid of their plaque too fast. It's safe is used as directed. Samala, Renee -------Original Message------- I'm taking serrapeptase...but at the dosage on the bottle (I've read that others increase it substanstially). Marshall, can you give an approximate dosage amount in which this would happen in about a month?
