In truth there are a couple of things we need to comment on with cortisone (Or for that matter, Cortisone derivatives often used in Asthma preventing treatments)

As a drug, Cortisone has a plethora of side effects:

• Weight gain thru the holding of extracellular fluid (Fluid retention-Esp. Ankles/feet)
• Supression of the immune-system–Read; Supression of Life force hence supression of Prana
• Strips the bones of Calcium
• Increased appetite
• Irritability
• Insomnia
• Nausea
• Heartburn
• Muscle weakness
• Impaired wound healing (Slowed healing hence slowed Prana)
• Increased blood sugar levels
• Blood pressure issues

• The following are less common side effects (occurring in 10 to 29%) for patients receiving hydrocortisone:

  • Fever of 100.5º F (38º C), chills (possible signs of infection)
  • If you feel an irregular or fast heart beat, shortness of breath, or chest or jaw pain, seek emergency help and notify your healthcare provider.
  • If you become suddenly confused

  The following symptoms require medical attention, but are not emergency situations.  Contact your health care provider within 24 hours of noticing any of the following:

  • Extreme fatigue (unable to carry on self-care activities)
  • Any unusual bleeding or bruising
  • Black or tarry stools, or blood in your stools or urine
  • Nausea (interferes with ability to eat and unrelieved with prescribed medications)
  • Vomiting (vomiting more than 4-5 times in a 24-hour period)
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness, feeling faint
  • Persistent headache
  • Severe hot flashes or mood swings
  • Inability to sleep (insomnia)
  • Severe skeletal (bone) pain
  • Difficult or painful urination; increased urination, or severe thirst
  • Changes in vision, blurred vision, eye pain, enlarged pupils, discharge
  • Any new rashes or changes in your skin
  • Swelling of the feet or ankles.  Sudden weight gain (greater than 3 pounds a week)
  • Swelling, redness and/or pain in one leg or arm and not the othe
• Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Mood swings
  • Cataracts and bone thinning (with long-term use)

As is easily seen The list of side-effects is almost endless however the overall effects of 'Cortisone-therapy' are massive suppression of the immune-system.
Therefore a massive suppression of the Life force.

Another effect rarely talked about with Cortisone is the observed 'apple-on-a-stick' phenomenon when used over time.

Cortisone has the effect of concentrating Fatcells to acculmulate on the torso, esp. the abdomen. 
Of course ANYONE who studies obesity knows that this-type of fat cell accumulation is powerfully linked to the massive heightened risk of heart diease, Diabetes, etc as one ages.
Are Heart disease & Diabetes a direct-risk to your health hence life-force, hence Prana? You betcha.

So need I say more but to say….If AT ALL POSSIBLE, Stay-away from Cortisone & it's derivatives, especially as regards long term use.

More soon. 

Did you know there's a state of being beyond 'The Secret'? It goes beyond intent. It goes beyond will. It takes us beyond Mind. A state of being which is effortless. Requiring no real act of willpower, mindset OR intent. What is this state? Some call it a state of Being: Of Is-ness: Of one-ness.
