RE: new problems

[Guest guest]

Hi CJ,

I am no expert but according to tests it needs close to 100 times the

amount of naltrexone that we take for liver enzymes to become elevated

if my memory is correct. I assume the steroids should be well out of

your system now so can't in any way be contributing and that you don't

take anything unusual to help with the diabetes or any other condition?

Lots of chemicals can induce increased liver enzymes, alcohol among others...

Gluten is another offender, and gluten might be implivcated in Diabetes ( primarily type 1),

and gut flora (yeasts) might also produce " alcohols " ,

so a carbohydrate ( and / or Gluten ) poor diet might

1 give you better compliance to blood sugar,

2 give less food for yeasts in your gut

3 give you better liver enzyme counts

4 let you keep on LDN..

Has anyone ever had this happen to them or someone that they know. I have to have a physical in September and I will see if it works for me at that time. If it continues I guess I will have to stop taking the LDN altogether. (That thought scares me to death.)

Does anyone know anything about this? I need a lot of input here gang.

Thank you a lot.

Good Morning Cj,

I've been on 4.5 for 4 1/2 yrs. now, and I have my bloodwork done

once a yr.and have never had any negative results. Now, I realize

we are all different, but I'm thinking that there is possibly

something else creating the elevation of your levels and suggest you

reeeeallly look into everything BEFORE you consider stopping the LDN.

Well, I'm not a doctor, by any means, but I sure would hate to see

you stop what's working for you if the LDN isn't the cultprit!!

Keep us updated!

CJ,

I had elevated enzymes quite a bit.......the

steroids were the culprit twice. Alcohol,..but you

stated you didn't drink. Avonex and Rebif are MAJOR

contributors not to mention that all of these work

against the LDN (except alcohol).

You said the stteroids contributed to your

diabetes,..can you change the type of steroid you were

using maybe?

Hi again Cj,

I just did some reading on elevated liver enzymes. I was

wondering, before you went for your blood work, did you fast for the

correct amount of hours before hand? That would be a factor, as

would vitamins. Just trying to give you some things to think about!

Greetings

I have dealt with hip pain most of my life, and various other pains

off and on , but I have now a new problem and maybe someone can give

me some insights as to what I might be dealing with.

first off I am overweight and I am aware the problems it leads to.The

last few weeks I have been noticing that when I bend or squat down

that I am having a lot of difficulty getting back up , I have no

strength in my legs muscles in and round my knees to get up and it

takes all I have to straigten and pull my self up.......a couple of

days ago I had to go up alot of stairs and it was very difficult, not

alot of pain just weakness and stiffness in knees. This morning I

wake up and my knee is swollen all around, not necessarily the joint

just all around it, lots of stiff ness and weakness not alot of pain

one would expect with the swelling and the swelling and a sense of

full ness in the skin and stiffness extends to my calf and above the

knee to the thigh area but all coming from the knee area. Is this

Osteo, RA or bursitis , the mobility of it seems to not have gotten

better since I got up this morning, my other knee is not swollen but

it seems a little stiff as well, but no improvement as the day

progresses..........My doctor is not end after noon on fri. so I

have to live with this till monday and we have an ice storm coming

this afternoon of alldays and getting worse for the week end.....How

do I self treat this.......thanks for any imput

Blessed be

Pat in the Ozarks
