Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Aletha, Thank you so much for the information! That's exactly what I was looking for and couldn't find!

The first paper mentions ALS. Naloxone and naltrexone are similar. As you must know ALS can be a fast mover as oposed to what I have, Parkinson's, a slow mover. I have been taking 4.5mg LDN for 19 months and because my PD meds are so effective for now, I can't tell if LDN helps or has stoped progression. If someone with ALS can show that there disease progression has been halted while on LDN, I think it makes a very good case for LDN. You might want to bump up to 4.5mg. I hope you stay with LDN and it works for you. Good luck and please keep in touch. > http://www.annalsnyas.org/cgi/content/full/962/1/318 http://www.fasebj.org/cgi/content/full/19/6/550 > I wanted to let everyone know that I've now been on 3.0 mg. ldn for > five weeks now.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 , Have you thought of doing a simple hair test to discover toxicities? My Aunt had this same label, ALS. She finally agreed to a hair test a few weeks before her passing. Her results showed a 99%+ for probability of mercury toxicity. She had a mouthful of amalgams with metals crowns etc. She was also a 'farm kid' raised in the early days of pesticides, fertilizers etc and probably was impacted by that also. It's good to hear that the ldn is helping. > > Hi , attached are two research papers you can give to your > docs. The first paper mentions ALS. Naloxone and naltrexone are > similar.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 , Thank you locating that information and posting it! I'll print them out and give it to both my neurologist and my internist. I know they will both be appreciative. We are going to increase my dose to 4.5, but my neurologist wanted to keep me at 3.0 for two months.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 In the process of diagnosing me, I was checked for heavy metals, and none were found. But that's for the suggestion! I'm sorry to hear about your Aunt. There are theories that suggest that exposure to farm chemicals can cause ALS, but none of been conclusive. I wouldn't be surprised to find a correlation in some cases however.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Thanks for the advice, ! I actually did it when you mentioned it not long after I joined. I'm thrilled to say that there was no cloudiness! But again, thanks for reminding me in case I hadn't done it already!
