Gabriel recognizes temporal arteritis as medical emergency (risk of blindness) requiring immediate corticosteroids. He supports with anti-inflammatory supplements to allow steroid tapering, addresses steroid side effects, optimizes vitamin D and calcium, uses low-dose naltrexone as steroid-sparing agent, and works closely with rheumatologist. Emphasizes prompt treatment prevents permanent vision loss.
High-dose corticosteroids (prednisone 40-60mg/day initially), temporal artery biopsy for confirmation, slow steroid taper over 1-2 years guided by symptoms and ESR/CRP, sometimes add methotrexate or tocilizumab as steroid-sparing agents, treat steroid side effects, ophthalmology monitoring.
Steroids necessary but have significant side effects (osteoporosis, diabetes, weight gain, infection risk, adrenal suppression), steroid-sparing agents not always used, inadequate nutritional support to mitigate steroid side effects, doesn't use anti-inflammatory supplements to potentially lower steroid dose, inadequate bone protection.

HIGH-DOSE PREDNISONE (40-60mg/day initially - required to prevent blindness), slow taper over 1-2 years, monitor ESR/CRP, weight-bearing exercise (prevent steroid-induced osteoporosis), bone density monitoring, blood sugar monitoring (steroids cause diabetes), eye exams, treat steroid side effects (calcium, vitamin D, bisphosphonates if osteoporosis), consider steroid-sparing agents (methotrexate, tocilizumab, LDN), report vision changes IMMEDIATELY.
Evidence-based practices that complement physical treatment protocols
REQUIRED to prevent blindness. Cannot be substituted with natural therapies.
Calcium, vitamin D, K2, weight-bearing exercise, bisphosphonates if needed.
Omega-3, curcumin may help lower steroid dose needed.
Potential steroid-sparing agent.
Regular eye exams, report changes immediately.
