If so can you tell me what your experience was. Were there any side effects?

I've only been taking it for about a week-and-a-half and the only side effects

are a little more restless during the night. From what I understand, that

levels out after a couple of weeks, so I should be almost there! ;)

,

There are very little if any side effects from LDN.

Mostly the first week or two restless sleep.

Side effects:

LDN has virtually no side effects. Occasionally,

during the first week's use of LDN, patients may

complain of some difficulty sleeping. This rarely

persists after the first week.

You can read about LDN here:

http://www.low dose naltrexone.org/#Are_there_any_side_effects

I have been on it for almost 1 year for stage 4 cancer

and my husband takes it also as a " preventative " .

If you need any further information or assistance in

finding a prescribing doctor, just let me know.

Dear Dee,

I was asking for my little girl. She was 13 when she was diagnosed with

glioblastoma on Dec7/06. I've spoken to Dr. Ian Zagon (he did research on LDN)

and he recommended a dosage of 3mg. I spoke to 's Dr about it because I

don't see how it could hurt her but the Dr was less than enthusiastic. We live

in Canada. If you know of any Dr's that would be able to prescribe this for us

could you please provide the information to me. Thank you so much to everybody

that responded.

Hello ,

I sent you a private email about 30 minutes ago with

the Canada's doctors information... Let me know if

you got it or need further information.

Yes it is to be expected your doctor is less that

enthusiatic... mine was also and dropped me as no

further treatment he could offer. I searched for a

LDN doctor and found a nice GP who prescribes for

me. He is very supportive.

When you have life threatening cancer you have to take

your health into your own hands sometimes and fight

back without the oncologists... as they can only do so

much as their hands are tied to the establishment

unfortunately.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance,

Dee

Dear ,

My husband, (chronic lymphocytic leukemia), and I take LDN at night -

4.5mg, and I take 3mg. Neither of us have experienced any side effects,

including sleep issues. To my knowledge, at the low dose of 4.5mg or less,

there are no known serious side effects.

Warm wishes,

Jan

I have taken my life into my own hands and most doctors want nothing to do

with people who do this.

This sounds like such good stuff. My husband was diagnosed with

stage iv lung cancer and we are needing some hope right now. I

printed out a lot of this info about ldn from the sight and am going

to bring it to his oncologist this thurs. Just wondering, where

people here on this list are getting their LDN? Thanks, Barbara

> Has it been shown to help your leukemia?

*****************************************

It's much too early for me to make any definative judgement regarding

, my husband who has chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

started taking LDN 4.5mg about mid October 2007. He's gone through

some odd changes, all of which have resulted in my *getting my

husband back*.

The first change was a marked decrease in the size of his visable

lymph nodes. As a result, the expressed lymphocytes raised his blood

lymphocyte count for a while, and he felt terrible. Now his WBC

seems to be on the down-swing, but a consistant decline will tell the

story. Shucks, the lymphocyte count just not rising would be a

blessing.

I will say this. 's color has come back; he no longer

experiences the over-whelming fatigue that he had; is no longer

dehydrated and does not require I.V. fluids; he is strong, and

his humor has returned. He will be having blood work on January 24

and is scheduled for a follow-up bone marrow biopsy in 6 months,

so we will see. It's all in a consistant trend. I'll trust nothing

else.

So to be cautious, I will not say that the LDN has stopped his CLL

progression in this short period of time or, for that matter, started

to reverse it, but I will say that how he feels has been a remarkable

turn-around.

Warm wishes,

Jan

Check out www.low dose naltrexone.org. 50mg is used to treat addictions, but

4.5mg is being used as an immune booster in a wide variety of diseases. It

increases blood levels of beta endorphins and enkephalins, increasing well being

and preventing disease relapse. (Purportedly)

I thought Naltrexone was used for treating alcohol addiction?? How is it being

applied for RA?

Here is a link to a website for this treatment.

www.low dose naltrexone.org

I know of several AP doctors who have recommended this

treatment along with AP to their patients. There is a

thread on the Road Back Foundation Bulliten Board

about LDN. Several people have tried it, one person

was asking because their AP doctor recommended it.

The results of the patients who posted seem

inconclusive.

-- [ ] Low dose Naltrexone

For terminal/ late stage cancer with no conventional treatment

available I have been on Low dose Naltrexone for 20 months and it

has kept me alive. ( was told 4-9 months prognosis)

LDN website

http://www.ldninfo.org

For those who are interested in learning more about LDN, the 4th

annual LDN conference will be held in Los Angeles October 11, at USC

Medical Campus.

Details are here:

http://www.ldninfo.org/conf2008.htm

This information may be useful for those like me who have failed all

conventional means and want a safe, low cost, non toxic and most of

all " life saving " treatment.

Reading the LDN website is  beneficial.

Dosage for cancer is  4.5 mg.  Most doctors don't know

about  the " low dose "   version of naltrexone  and need

to be educated.  If you  have trouble  with your doctor,

we have  material and  doctor lists  which can help you.

I have now 2 doctors which are willing to  prescribe 

LDN  for me but went through a series of  emails with doctors

who  didn't see the benefit.   Education is the key.

http://www.low dose naltrexone.org/

Thankful I  kept up the fight and found doctors who are eager to keep me alive.

Hope to see many at the LDN conference in October.
