My Brother's main MS problems are with his eyes and always have been

So, does anyone have any info specifically on LDN helping MSers with

Optic Neuritis and the eyes? Or is anyone aware of specific things

that help Optic Neuritis and the eyes in MS?

Thank you all. Adam

I've had ON, also.

LDN played a huge part in regaining normal eyesight. Since starting LDN

5 months ago I've gone from not being able to drive or read my computer

screen to almost 20/20 vision.

In addition to LDN I am gluten free, meat free, mostly dairy free and I

don't eat anything processed (okay.. except cheese.. I'm working on it)

I make all our meals from scratch. I've also eliminated most chemical

cleaners ... I've not found a replacement for laundry detergent yet.

I also take Omega 3 oils, get lecithin, vit B complex, and taurine when

I need it .

Depression Soap

2 gal whole sweet milk

6 qt water

1 Can lye

Pour milk into crock jar or enamel pan. Mix lye in water, stirring with

wooden spoon until dissolved. Then without stirring, pour lye water into

milk, pouring round and round, then pour the mixture from one container

to another until well mixed. Pour into cardboard box and cover with

cloth. Let stand until firm 12-24 hours. When firm, cut into bars. Let

set 2-3 weeks before using. Grate the bars for use as laundry soap.

On this subject, I have started making my own shampoo, rinse,

moisturizer, balm and dusting powder. I really like them, and I found

the recipes by doing Google searches. The ingredients list for

commercial body products, even those that are touted as " natural " , makes

me think they qualify as toxic waste!

Hi

That is a very interesting story-I congratulate you on how you turned

things around. I have been looking into Lutein for my Brother and will

pass this info on.

Thank you again, Adam

Hi Yvette...I read the portion you stated above about " eliminating

most chemical cleaners " ..I've just recently been diagnosed with ms so

I'm learning a lot but haven't heard anything about chemical cleaners.

Can you fill me in on that?

Thx!

Adam,

I've been taking 4.5 mg of LDN since July, 2004. No progression, no side

effects other than sleep disturbances the first 2 weeks. I am very pleased.

LDN, Optic Neuritis, Help with the eyes

Hi All

I just wanted your feedback, especially those taking LDN (Low Dose

Naltrexone).

My Brother (who has MS) is considering treatment options and one of

the things he is considering is LDN. What I would like to know is,

specifically, the effects of LDN on Optic Neuritis and the eyes in

general.

My Brother's main MS problems are with his eyes and always have been

(his left leg gives way a lot more too now).

So, does anyone have any info specifically on LDN helping MSers with

Optic Neuritis and the eyes? Or is anyone aware of specific things

that help Optic Neuritis and the eyes in MS?

Thank you all. Adam

Thanks again -unfortunately, due to my Brother's other health

problems-Gastroparesis, Coeliac's Disease, this may not be an option.

He also has Raynaud's, IBS and many allergies.

Thanks, Adam

Hi Thank you for your honesty.

How did this gut reverse his ON then?

Hi Tom

OK, thank you for this information.

Hi Yvette

Thank you for the info. My Brother, thanks to his Coeliac's Disease

lactose of course.

Thanks again for the info. Take Care, Adam
