FACTS ABOUT JD PROTOCOL

After more than 10 years Research by Trials and Errors, the SBP-4-IMNs, SBP-5-IMNs, and SBP-6-IMNs are formulated by Dr. John Darmawan, PhD, FACR 

With these JD Protocols, Remission under the JD Protocol, Remission with oral Drugs, and Remission without Drug can be achieved in 2-4 months, 5.5-7.5 months, and 3.5- 4.5 years in autoimmune diseases i.e., Rheumatoid Factor Positive Rheumatoid Arthritis (RF+RA), Lupus Nephritis (LN), and NSAID-refractory Ankylosing Spondylitis (Nr-AS).

Remission under the JD Protocol in 2-4 months is defined when:
The ESR is < 25 mm/l hour (men < 15 mm) while the frequency of intravenous therapy session was tapered off with the oral therapy consolidating the following status of the Core Set Endpoints for 3-6 months when the mean: swollen joint count < 1.0; tender joint count were < 1; normal CRP; ARA Functional Class < 2; patient global assessment> 3; visual analog pain scale < 10.

Remission with oral Drugs is defined when:
Normal ESR and CRP; swollen joint count < 1.0; tender joint count were < 1; ARA Functional Class < 2; patient global assessment> 3; visual analog pain scale < 10 are maintained by oral drugs for at least 2 years.

Remission without Drug is defined when:
Oral drugs are tapered off over a period of 1 year and normal ESR and CRP; swollen joint count < 1.0;
tender joint count were < 1; ARA Functional Class < 2; patient global assessment> 3; visual analog pain scale < 10 are maintained without drug including Radiological Remission.

Radiological Remission is defined when:
The mean Rau modified Larsen Index Erosive Joint Count are zero (healing and termination of the progression of erosions), and new erosion is prevented.

Safety Precautions of the JD Protocol
Dose-dependent adverse effects of the components of the combination of 4 intravenous immunosuppressants are avoided by:
minimum daily dosages, limited to 5Xs weekly administrations, and
before the total maximum cumulative dosages are reached, intravenous administrations are tapered off, because Remission has been induced.

The Remission is maintained with oral drugs (Remission with oral Drugs=RworalDs) with minimum effective dosages of Mycophenolate Mofetil and Methotrexate.

These minimum oral dosages without adverse effects are only effective in the patients who have their
Remission induced by the intravenous therapy to normal ESR in Lupus Nephritis and to normal CRP and ESR in RF+ RA.
