LDN should work on all autoimmune dseases according to Dr.Bihari. If you want

LDN to bypass the liver then check with Dr. J. McCandless about her

(TD)transdermal LDN with Emu Oil. TD LDN has been tried before for MS but it

did not work at halting disease progression due to slower absorption but Dr.

McCandless says her way of doing TD LDN absorbs very fast.

Hi Mia, Here are some links on LDN - Also a list of some of the diseases LDN helps. I've also read that its been used to help Autism. LDN Medication Links For MS www.low dose naltrexone.org http://thecompounder.com/diseasenaltrexone.html http://www.remedyfind.com/rem.asp?ID=4393 http://www.ldnresearchtrust.org/index.htm http://ldners.org/index.htm http://gazorpa.com/PatientGuide.html What diseases has it been useful for and how effective is it? > Bernard Bihari, MD has described beneficial effects of LDN on a variety of diseases: Cancers: Other

Diseases: Breast Cancer Carcinoid Colon & Rectal Cancer Glioblastoma Liver Cancer Lung Cancer (Non-Small Cell) Lymphocytic Leukemia Lymphoma (Hodgkin's andNon-Hodgkin's) Malignant Melanoma Multiple Myeloma Neuroblastoma Ovarian Cancer Pancreatic Cancer Prostate Cancer (untreated) Renal Cell Carcinoma Throat Cancer Uterine Cancer ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) Alzheimer's Disease Behcet's Disease Celiac Disease Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Crohn's Disease Emphysema (COPD) Fibromyalgia HIV/AIDS Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Parkinson's Disease Pemphigoid Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) Psoriasis Rheumatoid Arthritis Sarcoidosis Systemic Lupus (SLE) Ulcerative Colitis Wegener's

Granulomatosis > LDN has demonstrated efficacy in hundreds of cases. Cancer. As of mid-2004, Dr. Bihari reports having treated over 300 patients with cancer that had failed to respond to standard treatments. Of that group, some 50%, after four to six months treatment with LDN, began to demonstrate a halt in cancer growth and, of those, over one-third have shown objective signs of tumor shrinkage. Autoimmune disease. Within the group of patients who presented with an autoimmune disease (see above list), none have failed to respond to LDN; all have experienced a halt in progression of their illness. In many patients there was a marked remission in signs and symptoms of the disease. The greatest number of patients within the autoimmune group are people with multiple sclerosis, of whom there are now some 400 in Dr. Bihari's practice.

Less than 1% of these patients has ever experienced a fresh attack of MS while they maintained their regular LDN nightly therapy. HIV/AIDS. As of September 2003, Dr. Bihari has been treating 350 AIDS patients using LDN in conjunction with accepted AIDS therapies. Over the past 7 years over 85% of these patients showed no detectable levels of the HIV virus — a much higher success rate than most current AIDS treatments, and with no significant side effects. It is also worth noting that many HIV/AIDS patients under Dr. Bihari's care have been living symptom-free for years taking only LDN with no other medications. > How is it possible that one medication can impact such a wide range of disorders? The disorders listed above all share a particular feature: in all of them, the immune system plays a central role — and low blood levels of endorphins are generally present, playing a role in the disease-associated immune deficiencies.

Research by others — on neuropeptide receptors expressed by various human tumors — has found opioid receptors in many types of cancer: Brain tumors (both astrocytoma and glioblastoma) Breast cancer Endometrial cancer Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma Myeloid leukemia Lung cancer (both small cell and non-small cell) Neuroblastoma and others... These findings suggest the possibility for a beneficial LDN effect in a wide variety of common cancers. I hope this helps some....
