Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hi Ann, For a doctor who prescribes LDN in your area, email Crystal at angelindisguiseldn@... Be sure and tell her the name of the city you are in. Good luck! For my joint pain I use turmeric with great success. However, some people cannot tolerate it, so go slowly if you try it. The active ingredient is curcumin. Carol CD 21 yrs SCD 4.5 yrs From: BTVC-SCD [mailto:BTVC-SCD ] On Behalf Of Shirley Ann What kind of doctor would one see to ask about LDN? My GP never knows about anything I ask him, he only percribes what specialists tell him to and my gastros (I've seen 4 and all have said 'take Humira or stop wasting my time') would pat me on the head politely if I asked them about it. Would a neurologist know anything about it? SCD has my Crohn's under control but I'm looking for a solution to the joint pain that comes with it.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 The only natural docs I've found in Italy are homeopaths and I went to one of them and asked him and he said no, no take these and gave me a bunch of grains of sugar based meds that he promised wouldn't interfere with my SCD because they're disolved under the tongue so I wasted 500 euro and messed up my diet. I'll ask in the LDN group, thanks.

You could print out some stuff and show it to them. But Jodi is right - the first stop is to join the LDN group and ask there - there are some very knowledgeable people there.
