Prednisone, Deltasone, Liquid Pred, Meticorten, Orasone, Panasol-S Description Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid that has a mainly glucocorticoid effect. Prednisone is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant and affects virtually all of the immune system.

Unfortunately, that would be a clear violation of FDA regulations. Also, one of the most important aspect of naturopathy is: "Treat the person, not the disease". This is a profound statement, and many people have spent thousands of dollars on vitamins listed in books or web sites for a specific disease. This is what I call "vending machine medicine". It rarely works! The solution is to find a naturopathic physician, such as myself, to assist you.
