Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This clinical trial will be conducted based on the hypothesis that substances derived from intestinal bacteria, especially endotoxin are one of the pathogenic agents of RA. In the preliminary open clinical study oral administration of whey protein containing milk antibodies to intestinal bacteria and their toxins was effective for the treatment of RA. The present study was designed to ascertain the efficacy of milk antibody treatment for RA in randomised, double-blind clinical study.

Results

RA patients who were resistant to DMARDs therapy were treated with one of the three preparations, Skim milk (prebiotic), Milk antibody preparation containig
600mg of antibody to pathogenic bacteria, and mixed preparation consist of 300mg of milk antibody and skim milk.

The best result was obtaind by use of the mixed preparation as for clinical improvement, correlation between clinical maker
and microflora.

The clinical improvement was seemed to asociated with intestinal barrier,
antagonistic action of bacteroides LPS
against E. coli LPS and reduced serum TNF level.
