Beline Capsules (Page 4) (Top voted first)

I have ankylosing spondylitis and have been taking Beline capsules for nine months with remarkable results. I am largely pain free with an all round feel good benefit. Even a very long standing skin rash has disappeared. When I stop taking them the pain returns quite noticeably. Nonetheless I have strong reservations about herbal medications and intend to consult with my Rheumatologist shortly. Pity!!!

Just to give you an update on my mother's withdrawals..

She went to the doctor and had blood tests. The tests were ok, but the doctor said she was having withdrawals from the steroids contained in Beline and has prescribed her a low dose steroid so that she can taper off gradually.

The doctor said the steroid dose she was taking (2 tablets per day) was more than double what would be prescribed for a severe case of arthritis.

He also said she was having withdrawals from the caffeine the tablets contain and told her to drink coffee and taper off gradually.

And finally he warned her that having "felt like a girl" for the last 9 months she would now begin to "feel like an old woman" again (she's only 64).

So Beline appears to me a case of "What goes up must come down". If you are going to stop taking these please consult with your doctor.

Frank, how has the doctor come to the conclusion that the steroid dose was twice that for a severe case of arthritis? The results posted by the danes only show a low dose of steroids. I'm trying to come off beline myself and struggling, hence my question. Thanks

Hi Jay

That was what the doctor in Ireland said to her.

Anyway she is now abroad and a few days ago was still feeling bad so she went to a doctor where she is. This doctor said she needs 4 tablets of the low dose steroid a day instead of the 2 that the first doctor prescribed.

Now, a few days later and on the higher dose, she is feeling ok again.

The doctor also said withdrawals are going to be different for each person.

If you haven't yet seen a doctor Jay, I guess that's your best option.

Thanks Frank, I went down to one capsule. That seemed to be ok, then after a few days took one every other day. Suddenly I started feeling very weak and nauseous and my arthritis got so bad I could hardly move so I'm back up to 2 tablets a day again and things have settled. Spoke to my doctor before and he just gave me some diclofenic which didn't really help, will pay a return visit as I may need some low dose steroids to stop as you suggest. Hope your mother gets better

Hi Jay,

I asked my mother, and the 2nd doctor (in Norway) said to take 4 x 5mg of the steroid but that was too much for her and she couldn't sleep, so she is taking it 3 times a day.

The doctor also said that the anti-inflammatory contained in Beline is dangerous and was banned in Norway.

Here's an interesting article, the Chinese has been using arsenic for thousands of years as Traditional Chinese Medicine. Now, it has been proven to cure blood cancer.
reuters.com/article/2010/04/09/us-arsenic-blood-idUSTRE6383HG20100409

"Unlike chemotherapy, the side effects of arsenic (in treating acute promyelocytic leukemia) are very low. There is no hair loss or suppression of bone marrow (function)."

The post from Wong was very interesting. Can you confirm your credentials. How would you explain the side effects people are suffering, like withdrawal symptons, leg cramps.

Maybe you could do some research on the contents yourself as you are qualified?

We continue to take Beline, for me there are no side effects, and although I have cut down the capsules to one in three days I still feel great benefit from this.
My only concern is that my husband does require a stronger dose to deal with his inflammatory arthritis but sadly seems to suffer from acid reflux as a side effect from the Beline.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how have you dealt with it?
We still believe in Beline and hope to continue with the capsules.

I would just like to add that I have been taking Beline Capsules for 1 year. I am 41 and I suffer with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Although I was warned by my specialist not to take them I have had to go back to Beline to cope with the pain and inflammation. They have miraculousl changed mine and some of my families lives and I can now function and look after my family again. I feel extremely cross that we have had the right to purchase this product in the UK taken away. I have been honest with my local GP and told him that I have had to go back to taking them because of the medication my specialist has given me does not work. He has checked my blood every two weeks for the last six months as I take Methotrexate and has assured me that there is nothing untoward in them. My doctor is pleased that I have found something to help.

I am taking Beline Capsules for Arthritis found them to give Me good relief but now I am worried about the side effects they may have,

Jerry, it all depends. When taken as directed it may be safe to continue, HOWEVER, based on what I have gathered in this thread, you should not suddenly discontinue use. If you are thinking of stopping then wean yourself down gradually. If I were you I'd also look into whether the ingredients have any implications when taken over the long term.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and have taken beline for about 1 year and it has made me a "new man" My consultant is happy for me to take them provided I have a blood test every 3 months. Please tell me how I can now reorder.

I also have RA and was taking Beline. However, due to the findings I stopped taking them even though I was free of pain. I have had lumbar injections instead which were cortisone. Same effect as Beline. I have heard of a friend taking Celabolin which she says takes away her pain but can find out nothing about this supposedly natural product.It contains Celadrin.

Hi Tina,
After having steroid inj's. every 6 months for the last 18 months (which worked) I have been written off by conventional doctors and told I have to put up with pain as I am not allowed to have more inj's. I am now about to try more Beline. Are you still ok on Beline? I did get relief from it before albieit heartburn -as you also report.

We have been taking beline now for at least 7 years and are so amazed at how well they work - We have had no side effects at all and are so pleased with them and wish they were more readily available because we now have a problem with the fact that we ordered in August and they haven't arrived yet and the Company are slow to almost no reply..... Has anybody out there had the same problem?
