and further there ARE things YOU CAN DO to help patients on steroids.
There is a medical reference that explains nutrient deficiencies induced
by common drugs:
http://www.amazon.com/Drug-Induced-N...4119414&sr=8-2
and there is another less medical more lay oriented:
http://www.amazon.com/Side-Effects-B...4119491&sr=8-1
The first link reference has all the abstracts in it as well.
For example prednisone is known to affect the following:
Zinc
Calcium
Selenium
Magnesium
potassium
Folic Acid
Vit C
Vit D
Dietary changes and recommendation to patients to target these nutrients, and supplements perhaps (Vit D, magnesium, potassium) may help tremendously with treatments.
These two references are real eye openers.... I suggest them frequently online to interested readers.
