[Alternative therapy. Chances in Bechterew disease?]

The Bechterew disease is inherited but the illness is triggered by outer influences. We are therefore not able to do causal treatment. In consequence a lot of alternative remedies like the extract of Thymus and Vitamin E have been tried. If the Bechterew disease shows more or less an ossifying progress they do not show any effect. If the issue is inflammatory Vitamin E could act as radicalintercepter. The extract of Thymus is only a placebo.
