Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Hi G, I have just suggested to a friend, who has ALS, to check-out LDN. I hope he does. I assume you have noted the information on the LDN Homepage in regard to ALS? If not, here is some of it. Sandy Bl+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis In the spring of 2002, several people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, after reading the material about multiple sclerosis on this website, asked their physicians to prescribe LDN for their ALS. Two patients with advanced disease showed significant improvement in their breathing, as measured by a forced vital capacity (FVC). One had a 25% improvement within two months of beginning LDN and the other 11% improvement. A third patient who also has advanced ALS and an impaired FVC has had significant subjective improvement in his ability to breathe and a reduction in his resting pulse from 96 to the low 80's. Subsequently, in early fall 2002, the first patient, who had been taking only 3mg of LDN nightly, notified us that both his FVC and that of the second patient, who was using the 4.5mg dose, had reverted to their usual baseline capacities, but that their FVC's appeared to be remaining stable for a prolonged period. [Ed. Note: Given the repeated demonstration of LDN's efficacy in halting progression in virtually all cases of MS (see LDN and MS), and the possibility of its having a therapeutic effect in Parkinson's Disease and in ALS, it may be timely to consider LDN in treating the full spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases whose etiology is unknown—all of which may well have a significant underpinning of immunodeficiency/autoimmunity causing their neurological syndromes. Alzheimer's disease also suggests itself as an important possibility.] [low dose naltrexone] new member ALS Hi All, Has anyone heard of ALS patients using lowdosenaltexone ?

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Hi Greg See you have subscribed to the LDN website. Although I cant tell you what LDN has on ALS, suffers from MS and she has been taking the drug for about 6 months now. We know where to get it and who can help in Warmbaths so give me a call if you like at 0825786257 or speak to at 7365172.
