oh by the way, does anyone know any of the 350 HIV/AIDS patients that Dr Bihari has treated ? I was wondering if they are member of this group...

Yes, it is the pharmaceutical version. You can see by the price!! Marc sells it for $60 for a months supply of extract and $45.US for capsules! Or almost free if you have your own oleander bush and very carefully, following the exact cooking instructions!

There are clinical trials right now on Anvirzel, made from oleander and available for about $2700 for a 3 month supply. You can also make a homemade version of oleander...VERY CAREFULLY!!! You can read Tony Issacs articles on oleander on Natural News for more info. I think there are 6 articles.

I remember that I read the same thing. I am not sure what to think,

but I agree with you; I have Crohns and I would not stop using LDN anyway,

I think my over all well being has improved so much I would not dare to get

my "old health" back again. I haven't had a cold in one year. (my colds used to last for weeks with sinus problems and heavy coughing)..

I have also had this typical LDN-feel-good with a wonderful balanced self. I am also sure that I am preventing other severe diseases to occur. I had a partial nefrectomy (kidney ca.) last year, and I feel safe that LDN will help me having a super immune system, strong enough to fight eventual cancer cells trying to return.

I just love LDN, and will never stop using it. Ingrid

[low dose naltrexone] Re: Newly diagnosed with RA, I remember hearing the same thing and it may have been reported by oneof the researchers. It was stated that Crohn's and autisum can seeimprovement after a course of time and that the improvements would notbe reversed by stopping the LDN. I also remember however that a childwith Crohn's had stopped a number of months back and the ailment hadreturned. So I personally would just not take the chance by gettingoff. Unless there is a problem obtaining LDN or there is an adversereaction of some sort, why not continue anyways?My best, Aletha>> ,> > I'm sure I too have read on here of people with Crohn's who don't need > to stay on LDN to remain in remission but when I said that once before > people disagreed.> >>------------------------------------

Thank you for teaching me, is it ok that I copy and paste what to write ;-)

The sentence I wrote was a blunder, I often do blunders, my English

is not perfect, not even am I...

but I hopefully learn. I have never proclaimed myself being an expert, as you write....

I am here answering and asking question as all of us do. I am not a doctor,

I am not a health career, and I am not planning to be an expert, nor am I trying to be an expert, are you?

Ingrid

Hello,

now I am doing some qualified guessing (again)....;-)...

Dr. Bihary treated other patient groups early in the 80' with full dose naltrexone.

He then discovered spesific effects of the medicine that later was leading to try low dose naltrexone on other diseases like MS and RA.

In brief, taken from a Bihari interview.

Dr. Bihari: We were treating heroin addicts, and in 1984 a new drug

for the treatment of addiction came out. It was called Naltrexone,

and it was designed to block the heroin " high " and it was a flop. I

used it for a lot of patients, as did most addiction doctors across

the country. At 50 milligrams a day, it made people feel terrible.

Not that it blocked the heroin so much as it blocked their own

endorphins, which is a source of our sense of well-being, so that

people couldn't sleep.

I knew from work that had been done by the National Institute on Drug

Abuse in developing the drug that it had the ability to trigger the

body into making more endorphins, but at the high 50 milligram

dosage, the dose was too high. It blocks those endorphins.

About six months later our addicts began dying in large numbers of

AIDS. I ran HIV tests on about a hundred addicts, and fifty percent

were already HIV positive. This was in 1985. We began looking for

some way to approach this new disease, with a view to the idea that

this disease was likely to turn into a worldwide epidemic.

When I discovered that people with HIV had less than twenty percent

of the normal levels of endorphins, that meant that the virus not

only kills the immune system cells, it also weakens the whole immune

system, so that it's not as able to fight the virus.

We began looking for ways to use this drug to raise endorphins

without blocking them. We hired a laboratory scientist to measure

endorphin levels. We'd measure in the afternoon, then we'd give the

first dose at bedtime that night. Then we'd measure again at the same

time the next day; then again at one week, and again at one month.

We found that doses just a fraction of the recommended dosage to

addicts would trigger or jumpstart endorphin production during the

night.

Except with exercise, endorphins are made only between two and four

in the morning. The brain sends a message out to the adrenal and

pituitary glands and tells them to make endorphins. Giving a dose

three, four, five hours before that, at bedtime, is enough to make

that message from the brain much stronger.

From 's LDN board.

My GP has diagnosed me with RA and has referred me to a rheumatologist. I have

had pain in my hands, neck, shoulders and feet for over a year with bouts of

horrible fatigue. I have been told by many people that rheumatologist is going

to put my on disability right away. Is that the norm? I would like to continue

working if I can get some help with the fatigue and the pain in my hands. Anyone

have any advice?

Thanks, Jen

Jen,

A good rheumatologist would not put you on disability right away; that

would be like admitting failure before he's even started treating you.

The goal is to attack it aggressively from the beginning to reduce the

pain and inflammation and prevent joint deformity. It may take a while

to find the cocktail of meds that will do that for you, but you don't

have to go on disability right away, maybe not ever.

I'm on Enbrel, and it controls my RA wonderfully; I can hardly tell I

have it. I'm retired; but if I had to work, I could. The medications

for RA today are so much better than they used to be.

Make sure that your rheumy treats your RA aggressively. Be the squeaky

wheel that gets the grease. There is hope today for people with RA.

Good luck, and keep us posted on your progress.

Sue

A good Rheumy will see what is in front of them and on tests and what s/ he

sees may not be what you or I have experienced Ms Sue. She has been going

through this for over a year. Just because she was diagnosed sooner, well- the

disease may be at a point that we don't know. I know that mine has been

aggressive as all get out.

 

Bottom line in my opinion, is that Jen talk at length with the Rheumy and ask

questions as to why. It is obvious that they are wanting to help and IF she

needs to go on disability, she will have a year to 2 year wait in most cases. In

this economy, that is a dangerous game to wait to see about.

 

Also with Disability Ms Jen- you will be able to work on a program called

" Ticket to Work " . So IF you are able to work, you will still be able to work

while on disability. They just take a dollar for every dollar until you reach

your disabiity income and you get 4 years to see if it will work. It is to allow

people to try without losing the benefits and having to start over again. That

is what it was designed to do. It is not like if you want to and can work that

you are not allowed to do so. I think that your Doc is looking out for your best

interest in this case. If it were me, I'd follow through with the disability and

go where you can from there. Ask many questions Jen and learn your body and how

it reacts first to treatment. But in the meantime, that disability will take the

time it takes to go through regardless.

 

Good for you that want to work! I hope all goes well for you.
