Re: LDN

August 13, 2009

Thanks, I have just joined that group. This is interesting that LDN

modulates the immune system, the more so because one of the biggest

trouble I'm going to have with supplements is getting rid of my medicinal

mushrooms. They seem to be polysaccarides, or at least one I KNOW is so

the others probably are. But without them, I have a viral attack

4-5 days every week which is undoubtedly responsibly for a good deal of

my total exhaustion. What kind of side effects have people had from

the LDN, always a huge concern of mine?

Ah, OK, I'll ditch the boswellia. I'm not at all sure this bunch

with ginger and MSM have done me a bit of good. Or maybe without

them all I'd need even more pain meds, sigh. Maybe after a bit the

turmeric will be OK.

I did the fish test last night. DH broiled the fish from our friends,

caught un upper British COlumbia in clean clean waters, fish cleaned and

flash frozen immediately when getting back to the dock. My friend

is a nurse and her theory was that if I had known to be very clean and

fresh fish, it would be OK. I had a small piece about 3/4 inch by

3/4 inch. It was not OK. I felt terrible all the rest of the

evening, burping, gassy tummy, bloating, gut feeling like it might get

pretty active, general malaise, headache, what I call my " sleeping

sickness " reaction that puts me to sleep no matter what.

Sigh. Oh well, maybe next year I can have fish. I'm not very

inclined to try it again any time soon! If I had had two bites I

probably would have been sick most of today as well.

Hi , LDN is not specifically for pain, although users do report

pain

relief. It modulates the immune system. Clinical trials are ongoing

for LDN

and Crohn's and MS. It is used for auto-immune diseases (like bowel

diseases). If you are interested in hearing about results you can

join this

Yahoo Group and read about patients results here

By the way, boswellia is considered an illegal on the SCD. I found

that out

recently as I was taking an herbal anti-inflammatory that contained

boswellia extract. That's why I went with the turmeric. The active

ingredient in turmeric and ginger is curcumin. Hope this helps
