Wondering if anyone knows anything about this. From what I've read, and for obvious reasons, it probably isn't a good idea to go on an anti-tnf after cancer. If that is the case, what alternate treatment options are there left for the patient?

This may seem way out there but some people are getting amazing results in transforming their bodies and their health with guided imagery visualization. My wife is doing it now and it has encouraged me to do it.

Visualization if done on a consistent basis will alter your brain circuitry and body chemistry in positive ways to help you achieve most any type of goal including reduction of pain, inflammation, and fatigue. If anything it can alter your circuitry to make it much easier to eat, exercise, and eliminate stress in ways that will create greater health for you.

A great place to go to learn about this simple healing technique is google Jon Gabriel and check out his site called The Gabriel Method. This guy went from 409 pounds to 185 pounds over the course of 2.5 years and he did it through visualization. The key was by changing his brain and body chemistry through visualization he became naturally inclined to eat healthy whole foods and exercise.

I hope you check it out. Visualization is simple, costs nothing, and it is a gift that all people have access to.

Sorry, but I'm not interested in this. I'm not sure how this would at all be related to treating AS either, but thanks for using this thread to promote a weightloss product.

Mike,

I looked at my post and you are absolutely right, it comes off like a sales pitch and for that I apologize. It was truly not my intention. I was trying to use the weight loss thing just as evidence of the efficacy of using a mind-body practice like visualization for a sticky health issue.

I also get how it is difficult to draw a beneficial connection between something like visualization and a disease like AS. All I can say is that I have just started doing the practice and what I have noticed is a subtle shift in how I think and feel about inflammatory foods and anti-inflammatory foods. For me that's a pretty good start because I struggle with addictions to foods that cause inflammation.
