Serrapeptase

A friend of mine suggested a natural pill called Serrapeptase. He had a swollen and absessed jaw and when he took these pills, in 2 days the swelling went down. I checked the net out and this Serrapeptase is a natural anti-inflammatory. I wonder if anyone has heard about it or tried it, and did it help their IC? From reading about it on the net, it sounds promising about bringing down inflammation, which could be amazing.

It's been used in Europe a lot. It goes by another name too that I can't remember at the moment. I tried it. First round I thought it might be helping a little but as with many things I tried, it went the other way with repeated doses but I did previously find some good articles online relating to studies done in Europe, can't find those either. It's probably because it was under the other name for the drug. Maybe someone else will know. I think it was serraptase peptide but nothing is coming up. Made from silkworms or something.
