Thank you for your research and desire to help others with sickle cell. I also do a lot of research for my daughter who has sickle cell. I know she has mentioned eating thiocyanate rich foods and I will also send her this blog. Sorry to hear that serrapeptase has caused your ulcers to bleed. I still think its beneficial for those who do not have ulcers. The mechanism of action of this enzyme is perfect for addressing the adhesive properties of premature red blood cells released during a crisis. I do wonder if a lower dose, like 25000 spu - 40000 spu would be safe and effective. Well, I hope you keep blogging; and know that your information is helping those with sickle cell and their parents too.
