Perhaps I'm the male you speak of? I am on the diet and taking the

supplements. Is it working? I am still walking and working full time

as a blue-collar supervisor over difficult employees doing a physical

job, so the answer has got to be yes. Am I able to play sports and

have sex all night long with the women like I did when I was younger.

The answer is no. I wish I had known about LDN many years ago before

the CRAB/Novantrone drugs and IV steroids. Woulda, coulda, shoulda.

I'll never know what could have been. But these are the cards that

are dealt to me and I've got to play'em. I'd rather stay positive and

try to help people. The way some people talk on these discussion

boards, I can guarantee you they'd never speak that way to my face.

I share Arties view. is trying to help people. This is something

that I have loved about the forum. Positive attitudes and a strong

willingness to share and help others (even if it stretches away from LDN

just a bit).

I guess I'll stick my neck out for a change. Allot of the reasons

are not posting if something else is working is becasue there not

supposed too. If it's alternative stuff there supposed to take it to

other websites to talk about that stuff. This has been posted many

times lately on her from the Glucks. But we still have to read about

red cherry tart from all the time. The same rules need to

apply to everyone. Either we can talk alternative stuff or we

can't. It would be nice if others could get a word in edge wise and

the others would be quite for awhile. Because theres allot of people

posting stuff thats not on the LDN site.

One thing that I'm trying, and perhaps it's too soon to say this, but I've noticed an increase in the strength of my left leg, is a product called 'super B-15' (Vitamin B-15, pangemic acid)

Off-topic Posts:

It is natural for

discussion, on occasion,

to stray into areas

tangential

to LDN. Discussion of a

topic related to LDN can

be a valid use of this

discussion group -- as

long as the topic does

actually relate in some

way

to group members' use of

LDN.

In practice, members are

rarely banned for making

the occasional off-topic

post, unless the nature

of the post is offensive

to other members.

However, if an extended

discussion (more than

three messages) ensues

that

is not relevant to LDN

use, please take it

somewhere else (e.g., e-

mailing

one another directly, or

finding a more

appropriate forum).

Please be considerate to

general readers of the

group who must wade

through

off-topic discussions in

order to find something

relevant to LDN.

==========

If you'll notice in most

of my posts I have made

referrence to LDN in most

of them. I try to tie

most all my supplement,

diet and exercise posts

to connect in some way

with LDN or how these can

compliment LDN. I

haven't mentioned Tart

Cherry in months but if I

feel someone can benefit

from it and it does not

coincide with their LDN

use I'll email them

privately.

It comes in capsules made

up by a compounding

pharmacy or in liquid.

It can also be made into a cream, or you can make it yourself.

Hi Manon,

LDN typically comes in pill form. A small percentage of people get it as a liquid and children are usually give a form in oil that can be put on the skin.

If you are interested in LDN for MS, please let me know and I can send you a copy of the "welcome e-mail" It explains a bit more.

Thanks

hi Suzanne,

My son has been on chemo since May (cyclophosphamide) and has

continued on LDN throughout. Overall, he has had tremendous

improvement - when he started chemo could not walk at all or even

stand; now he is walking unaided. I don't know if the LDN has had

anything to do with it, but it certainly has not seemed to hurt. He

can also write again; prior to this he had great difficulty holing a

pen and his handwriting was illegible - hope this is helpful....

==============

Dr. Bihari says LDN will not be near as effective taken with chemo.

The chemo pretty much wipes out most of the effect of LDN. These two

drugs work just the opposite of one another. The chemo being the

strong immune system suppressant well overpowers LDN's effectiveness.

Hi all, Do any of you take LDN for MS? I have recently been diagnosed with PPMS and it is really cripppling me. I have become disabled. I can no longer walk, I am wondering if LDN will help me. I am desperate.

January 28, 2007

,

You found the right place to come. LDN is used in place of a CRAB drug, to prevent progression of disease. The only CRAB drug you can use it with it is Copaxone. What is REAL nice about it is: !). It is cheap (less than $30.00 a month, 2). One of the benefits you get by taking it is help with bladder conditions 3). Some people get help with their balance.

I have been on since the end of June for my MS, I take 3mg nightly. I only take 3mg because I have spascticity in my right leg and that is the amount they recommend when you have that problem. My leg hasn'tt gotten better but it hasn't gotten worse either. I have had NO MS problems since starting it.

Good luck, hope I helped,

, I, too, have PPMS. I haven't stood or walked in 7 1/2 years. I started LDN over 3 years ago. I have seen slight improvements, but no miracles. I had a UTI last summer that has really set me back. Most here take LDN for MS. Some have seen great results. It does seem the best hope, medically speaking. Hang in there. Marcie Hinson <ehinson@...> wrote: Hi all, Do any of you take LDN for MS?

I am so grateful to all who have responded to me, directly or indirectly. It seems one has to find a 'unique' doctor to work with in terms of LDN-i.e. that it is not common place for them to prescribe LDN. I am afraid that this specialist I am to meet is going to try to be quite persuasive about Tysabri (who knows, kick back from pharmaceutical?) Does anyone here with MS also have TN? -trigeminal neuralgia? and has the LDN helped with that? I've had both the MVD (basically, brain surgery) and the Gamma Knife, and am still left with a good deal of pain...blessings, kate [low dose naltrexone] Re: LDNlow dose naltrexone > Most of us here take LDN for MS and many of us have had very > good results.

I hate your daughter quit LDN after being on LDN only a week. I

just told the lady Dr. Gironi in Italy doing the LDN trial in MS

that increased symptoms can take place in the first 3 months on LDN

and listed a few of those symptoms. I wrote that these symptoms

generally fade away as time passes and endorphins rise and level

out. She wrote me back and said that what I described is exactly

what happened to 4-5 of the patients she has started LDN and thanked

me for that valuable information. Your daughter should possibly

start on 1.0mg for 2 weeks, then up to 1.5mg for 3 weeks then

up .5mg every month till she reaches 3mg or 4.5mg. She jumped ship

way too soon.

Hello Jackie;

As much as I wish LDN works for everyone, it doesn't. I take mine mixed in water but wouldn't mind trying some from Skip if the price is right. Email me at luigi@...

[low dose naltrexone] LDN

IF anyone would like 3.0mgs of LDN that I got from Skips Pharmacy, please let me know. My daughter is no longer taking it because it made her worse than she had ever been in the 11 years that she has had MS and she never got better. She is doing soooo much better since stopping it. She’s actually walking with no assistance now. We’re going to wait after the clinical trial to see what happens. Right now it’s just so much that is unknown about it right now. I received a 90 day supply from skip in January and my daughter only took it for about a week. However, she was actually on the LDN for 2 months. I know there will be some of you that say that we let the fear win out but, we had to do what was best for her. We’ve changed her diet and supplements. She’s seeing a Natural Path, a nutritionist and a Chiropractor.

Thanks and good luck to you all

Jackie

I was in the same boat and quit after one month. I am still left one

month later with new symptoms and old aggravated symptoms that were

caused by my trial with LDN.

While I have no doubt that many receive benefits from LDN, I am sure

that others just do not well. This may be a result of different

factors, such as age, existing nerve damage, status of the disease,

gender, etc.

I have a great deal of difficulty with the notion that someone should

continue in the face of adverse results although I did just that and

will regret it if I don't get back to baseline.
